Yes indeed, we are launching lots of new things, sometimes brand new UIs altogether, or significantly reworked frontend plus big changes on the backend at a minimum. Our biggest fear is to build something that no one needs. Launches allow us to roll it backwards from the top of the funnel to mid-funnel (retention) to revenue and narrow down the value prop further and further. So it's not so much a monte carlo search, more of a binary search where each launch cuts off an entire family of potential directions our product could take. So if there are 10M possible solutions then it'd only take us 23 launches to zero in on the right one.

With Terrabook our hunch is that Terraform can be made much easier if it's generated in small chunks. The language itself is trivial, lightweight json basically. Nothing to learn there. But the AWS part is hard. What are the options? What should you write? And then having spoken to many users from previous launches we learned that people google TF snippets and copy-pasting them and tweaking just a bit. It's much easier to change if the bulk is already there. So we made this snipped generation pice with a UI inspired by Jupyter / Google Colab / Replit to basically lower the entry barrier into Terraform.
