Exactly.
But with code, it’s easy enough to prove correctness just by running it.
That being said, the one bug I find consistently is that with the AWS APIs, all list type methods pagínate and you have to account for that. Python/boto3 have built in paginators.
This an insidious bug because things will work correctly in a dev account with only few resources. But will fail in hard to debug ways in production.
What’s even worse is that ChatGPT “knows” the pattern and will correct itself once you say something like
“This won’t work with more than 50 roles/ec2 instances, etc”
