At lot of the debate here centers on DSLs vs programming languages and I don't want to get into the weeds of that. I did use terraform extensively at a few places and generally if you want to do something simple it does a fine job. When things start getting complex and the team & infrastructure is larger...well, let's just say some warts start coming up. You more or less end up with some type of a wrapper around it.
But in another place we decided to use troposphere[0] and I liked it more (at least for AWS-only shops). A lot more flexibility and you're relying on Cloudformation to do some of the heavy lifting around states. We basically ended up with a tool based on that library which would generate deployable CF stacks (and some other things).
You might take a look at troposphere[1] too. I've used both extensively and each definitely has it's strengths. In some cases troposphere is a better fit.

This is definitely on point. I've worked for a fairly large regional MLS at one point and interacted with a fair number of other MLS's and what I've found out about this business was pretty mind boggling.
Vast majority of them are stuck in the past (think 1990s) and their only competitive advantage is restricting access to information. A typical real estate agent (with very few exceptions, I'd guess <5%) is adding little to no value to the transaction and is simply taking a middle-man fee. They are in general petrified of places like Redfin, Zillow and Trulia and they do anything in their power to maintain the current business model. Generally it involves limiting access to "their" data and coming up with whatever legal roadblocks they can use to defend against other sites.
The agents
However, they are sitting on an absolute treasure trove of data which would be amazing in the hands of the right people.
I work at Riot and it's great what you've been able to do with LoL. At the same time, I would say that finishing your CS degree (or becoming a better developer) would be definitely worth it in the long term. It's possible to manage both. I know many people who play a lot (not pros) and combine that with their engineering careers.
