> It is as if the software industry has collectively forgotten how to run basic data center operations. Something that used to be a blue collar skill is now treated like arcane magic. It's not arcane magic. It's undifferentiated toil that requires hiring for a different skill set than tech companies generally want to hire for. Of course when you get to a certain size it may make sense to take on this cost. I want us to stop pretending individual actors lack the agency to make their own decisions, and they're all blind to how AWS is charging them a fortune for such simple things they can do themselves. You get value from AWS or you stop using AWS.
