Not really. No amount of money can solve your cancer or rare degenerative muscle disease, no amount of money can prevent car accidents or fatal mistakes. No amount of money can protect everyone in your life that you care about without taking away their individual freedoms in the process.
If any of these happened to you 20 or 30 years from now, you're gonna wish you spent your time with your family or your friends rather than head-down in 32 bash terminals or something trying to administer server clusters when you could just hire some SaaS to do it for you. Unless of course you already get an ample amount of time with everyone you'd like - there's nothing wrong with tinkering for tinkering's sake, and as long as you are happy with what you are doing there's no need to change!
- esotericn 7y agoThe scaremongering here is entirely unnecessary. If you want to spend more time with your family, go and spend more time with your family. They're more important than the server clusters, tinkering or no tinkering.

If your job demands that you manage server clusters, then that is your livelihood. Which is exactly why outsourcing aspects of your job to other companies is so appealing, and why so many SaaS's gain virulent popularity as every other company switches to their services one by one. If I can reduce the amount of headaches I have to deal with at work, I can at least arrive at home a little more energized and ready to do fun things. Rewritten, if I can convince my boss (or my wallet) to pay some other company to do my job for me so I can sit around and do easier things, I will always prefer that choice.
