s/sometimes/all the time/;
I honestly do not get why people are so fascinated with the cloud. It's a very expensive way to avoid having to know what you're doing.
- j45 15y agoIn a way, putting off getting to know your hosting stack is a very real form of technical debt.
- Gotperl 15y agoLike any other tool "the cloud", as you say, can be the right fit for the right job.
- wccrawford 15y agoIn my experience, all ways to 'avoid knowing what you're doing' are expensive. It's all about time, and lack of it. If you can spend 1/10th of the time and still make a good profit, you could spend the other 9/10ths doing other profitable things.
- charliesome 15y agoAt the end of the day, you're still going to need to A) learn what you're doing or B) hire someone who does know what they're doing - and given that one of the major selling points of these PaaS offerings is that you can get up and running without needing a dedicated sys admin, this seems particularly silly to me!
