"I'd been copy-pasting Terraform from Stack Overflow for three years. After week two, I rewrote our entire EKS config from scratch and caught two security misconfigurations we'd been shipping to prod."

"My team had 90 days before a SOC 2 audit and zero architecture certs. We ran two cohorts back to back. Eight engineers certified. Auditors flagged zero misconfigs. Provision bought us the audit."

"The terminal-first approach is the difference. Other courses show you screenshots. Provision has you running `terraform apply` on real infra in session one. The muscle memory builds fast."

"Coming from a sysadmin background, I was intimidated by IaC. Twelve weeks later I'm the one reviewing Terraform PRs for a team of six. The live labs are the only thing that would have done that."
