i can buy an amd laptop and run my code. where you gonna run your aws architected code if aws changes their policies to something you don't like? hint: it's called vendor lock-in.

So you write to an abstraction layer rather than directly to vendor APIs.

Ok, so then I spend 5 minutes changing some boilerplate and upload it to Azure/Google Cloud/a server I bought on craigslist? Even if that did happen, I probably would still have saved time overall, because I didn't have to maintain physical infrastructure between now and whenever that distasteful policy change takes place.

  nope. if your code takes 5 minutes to rewrite, then who cares? if it takes longer, then you have a big, expensive, risky problem.

    Its not the code that take 5 minutes to rewrite, its the AWS entry point.

      I call bullshit. But if you want to do the experiment, on video, I'll watch it.
