As AI Agents Get Smarter, AWS Infrastructure Becomes More Valuable
The author argues that as AI agents improve at reading complex contexts, explicit infrastructure like AWS's becomes more valuable than black-box abstractions. Using Terraform on AWS vs Cloudflare as an example, they show that AWS's detailed HCL schemas provide richer context for agents. The shift is not that AWS got simpler, but that agents got better at handling its complexity.

The piece makes a compelling case that infrastructure-as-code's verbosity is an asset for AI agents, but it assumes agents will continue to improve at parsing complexity—a bet that may not hold for all use cases.
