Great tutorial @tinyg210, really comprehensive and detailed. Perhaps a bit long, but it contains all the technical nitty-gritty details that almost serves as a documentation/reference guide in itself. 👍
My review are mostly nits, nothing blocking!
I added several suggestions to improve the text a bit, feel free to apply the ones you like and agree with.
Some "drive-by" feedback/tips on writing: The text is a bit repetitive at times, and contains a lot of boilerplate statements/prose. I think overall the next tutorial we write could be improved by writing a bit more tersely/concisely. Also I noticed, sometimes we're using the same words to mean different things, and sometimes we use different words to mean the same things. Resources, configuration, setup, integrate... Something to look out for and be mindful of. And look out for monologophobia :-)
But really just nit picks on the text. Overall, really great work on the technical details, and thanks so much for grabbing the extension and immediately churning out this amazing sample project! agree with @remotesynth on the real world use case 🚀

| When organizing your Terraform files into folders, recursion can be a highly effective strategy. This approach allows you to manage multiple Terraform projects within a single structure efficiently. | ||

i think precisely replicating our production infrastructure is maybe not focusing on the real benefits of the terraform init hooks. perhaps focusing on the aspects of automation (configurations being automatically applied), the setup being self-contained (both the extension being installed), and reproducability (we can easily reproduce the same setup every time).

Thanks for the review! I needed a fresh pair of eyes for this because I was getting sick of reading my own text over and over. You were right, I dislike repeating words in the same phrase, even in the same paragraph, but somehow I managed to repeat myself with the same idea, different words. I made the suggested changes and also replaced the ambiguous wording. I also tried to be more mindful of the one sentence per line (I broke it up because of the small screen).
