#### **Slide 3: The Real Cost: Cognitive Fatigue**
#### **Slide 3: The Real Cost of Infrastructure**
- **Visual:** "The Jenga Tower of Tools". A tall, precarious Jenga tower where each block is the logo of a different tool (Terraform, K8s, Helm, Ansible, Prometheus, ArgoCD, etc.). One block near the bottom is being nervously pulled out.
- **Narration:**
"The real cost isn't just complexity; it's _cognitive fatigue_. The constant need to choose, learn, integrate, and operate a dozen different tools, each with its own syntax and failure modes. It's the nagging fear that a tiny typo in a config file could bring everything down. Click-ops isn't the answer, but the current state of IaC feels like we've traded one problem for another."

- **Visual:** The clean, simple Harmony Rust DSL code from Slide 6. A summary of what was just accomplished is listed next to it: `✓ GitHub to Prod in minutes`, `✓ Type-Safe Validation`, `✓ Built-in Monitoring`, `✓ Automated Multi-Site Failover`.
- **Narration:**
"So, in just a few minutes, we went from a simple web app to a multi-site, monitored, and chaos-proof production deployment. We did it with a small amount of code that is easy to read, easy to verify, and completely portable. This is our vision: to offload the complexity, eliminate cognitive fatigue, and make infrastructure simple, predictable, and even fun again."
