Why is everyone attacking this article? So what if their reason is subjective? They want people who enjoy working on the whole stack. They have fun doing that, and that's all the reason they need.
They aren't saying that "people who use the cloud don't care as much". It's just their thing.
They're the masters of their own company, and as such, can do things however they like. One of the benefits of a private organization.
- drhayes9 15y agoI'm totally with you -- they have fun, that's what they want, end of story. But they did say that people who use the cloud don't care as much: > If you just want to use someone else’s computers, it means you don’t love computers — at least not every aspect to them.
- chollida1 15y agoI think the reason most people are disappointed is that from the title they expected the article to be something that it wasnt. I personally thought I going to get a break down of the pros and cons of being cloud hosted vs running your own servers. The article ended up being completely non technical or quantitative and boils down to "we like to build our own computers". Chalk it up to high expectations that weren't met :) That's not the authors fault.
