Speaking as a person who does have a strong gut reaction against cloud development, I think a lot of the justifications like 'what if I'm on a train' do mask a real desire to say it just feels bad. Public reason.
Is it logically consistent with other things I don't own? Like Chrome, within which all my apps run?
No. But is there something that feels right about having all my code running on the CPU on my lap? Unaccountably, yes.
- swyx 4y agogood for being intellectually honest about those justifications :) still, your feelings matter. imo, totally welcome to them. some people also like keeping gold in their safes, cash under their mattress, running on their own power and food off grid. i will fight for their right to do that. but also i observe that most people have a demonstrated tendency towards centralization for convenience, and the technology is coming along for mass availability of this tech.
