Or, we've learned that even the biggest web companies can now be built with fairly vanilla technology and that obsessing over clever bespoke scaling schemes is largely a waste of time.
- Tossrock 15y agoI think it'd be more accurate to say "Even /fairly large/ web companies can now be built [et cetera]". Good luck putting Google on AWS. Or (relevant to the name of this website) AWS.
