But I feel depressed every time I use Terraform. I see why it is useful, good etc. But I just enjoy it least of all the programming activities.

Pulumi isn't much better. I feel IaC done that way isn't the way we will settle on long term.

To connect the dots, Mitchell is the creator of terraform. And honestly, I kind of feel the same. I think it points out that even if you "feel" it as the creator, that doesn't mean others will feel the same way, necessarily.

Does my side project provide any hope?

They left the role of CTO many years ago, then became an IC again, and then left, safe to assume he wasn’t feeling it either.

With Terraform I have felt I'm fighting it at times but I also understand the reasons.
