You say "stubborn" but when the savings can be in the millions of dollars, it becomes logical to own a datacenter. I can't believe datacenter people suddenly all disappeared or are retired. If the pay scale is down, they will surely appreciate working for a big company with datacenter needs.
Obviously, this only applies to huge companies like Dropbox. Everyone else is better served by AWS.

- Shorel 6y agoHa! I was also thinking about COBOL programmers when writing my comment.
