## Resource

In this episode of The New Stack Agents, Marcin Wyszynski, co-founder of Spacelift and OpenTofu, explains how AI is transforming infrastructure as code (IaC). Originally built for individual operators, tools like Terraform struggled to scale across teams, prompting Wyszynski to help launch OpenTofu after HashiCorp’s 2023 license change. Now, the bigger shift is AI: engineers no longer write configuration languages like HCL manually, as AI tools generate it, dramatically lowering the barrier to entry.
