To me it is akin to saying: 1921: "Why learn a Underwood typewriter and learn all their marketing junk?" It just actually means you want to learn how to type

It just actually means you want to learn how to type. Sure the brand you learn on is a "Underwood" - but the concepts and structure are transferable. YES! You don't have a CAPS lock feature.
Cloud companies are just as weird and envious as the rest of us. So they copy!! If you can learn s3 you wont be shocked by any principals of gcs. Cloud tech is transferable. Cloud containers? Docker works on both.
- joshribakoff 6y agoKnowledge is transferable between languages too but it still entails ramp up time and employers will discriminate based on experience. For example knowing the nuances of PHP don’t necessarily prepare you for elixir all that well. Likewise, someone SSHing into their VPS and installing nginx isn’t necessarily experienced with k8s and IAM
- foolmeonce 6y agoLanguages and paradigms are now almost entirely in a separate camp of comparison from AWS vs Azure. How did we get here? We kicked the sh*t out of commercial languages so we wouldn't be indentured servants to a small number of companies. People tend to use binary logic to gloss over the details that determine our future. K8s is opensource org backed, docker is opensource startup backed. sshing in and installing Apache is an open setup that can't be sabotaged but not open standard. Signing in to Linux and starting your own python or C++ server code is open standard and can't be completely hijacked even by a BDFL controlling the main implementation direction.
