I don't want to throw a wrench into your article but have you considered using terraform instead. I've found it allows me to write much more readable code than Cloudformation.

I agree.

I really really love terraform, but I have to say that the 0.11 to 0.12 changes have really screwed me. Less about the terraform config changes themselves which were fairly automated changes, but one of the providers I'm using took the opportunity to rewrite everything so that my existing tfstate file is pretty much worthless. Just be a bit aware of this when using TF over time...

I have, and I came to the conclusion that it's not for me. CloudFormation is having a great roadmap right now and I'll stick to that for the foreseeable future. CDK looks like a good successor when time comes.

From the title I assumed it was satire.

I would like to know how you came to that conclusion. Is there something you don't like with Git/GitHub?

It sounds completely trivial, and mostly is.
