Surprising that the author is writing a tool for managing your servers, so writes a post about how Terraform isn't great at managing your servers...
It seems like the root of the problem is that the author wants to use Terraform to manage their AWS state, but also wants to use the web console to directly change things, so Terraform gets out of sync. Terraform has a command to handle this - https://www.terraform.io/docs/cli/commands/refresh.html
