So true.
The advice of "commoditize your complements" is working out great for amazon. Ironically, AWS is almost a commodity itself, and the OSS community could flip the table, but we haven't figured out how to do it.
- giovannibonetti 2y agoAWS is a commodity, albeit an expensive one. After all, it has competitors like GCP, which some people like me actually prefer.
