This is a "you can write bad code in any language" paradigm. Doing computing efficiently takes skill, whether one does it in the cloud or on prem. Cloud solved a few common pain points and, at times of startup / tech boom, had a meteoric rise. But now many of the companies that moved to the cloud are hitting different challenges and are stuck in a setup that is pretty expensive to maintain. I am not expecting the death of the cloud computing, but that pendulum will likely swing back a little as the companies experiment with other options. I think a company that can help medium sized businesses optimize their compute setup with a mix of on prem and multi-provider cloud will do well. My 2c.
