Maybe, maybe not. But I think I agree with you- 10m/m is a comically large number(I wonder how many companies spend even 1/100th of that a month on cloud compute?) and I have no reason to believe this person so why would I?

- cco 6y agoI'm shocked that some middle manager with half a technical head on their shoulders didn't use this as a VP play before this; surely, "I saved the company 120m a year with no downstream consequences to yada yada" would have been worth it for someone somewhere to climb the ladder.
- markvdb 6y agoWhy would you, if in good times you can enlarge your own budget/headcount/importance/... just by increasing budget no questions asked, that's a safer way ahead. You risk devaluing your own position in the company for an uncertain gain...
- markvdb 6y agoI was obviously being slightly sarcastic. I wouldn't want to personally work that way. I do believe that might be quite an effective strategy if one's goal were climbint the corporate ladder.
- opportune 6y agoI think it would be easy to hit especially if you were spending on cloud SAAS offerings + actually have a lot of users. I know I've managed to spend a few $10K/month on a project before - and it was actually celebrated because it was less than half the cost of what it was replacing.
