- kortilla 2y agoSoftware engineers are shockingly dumb when it comes to infra costs and will quickly push the technology arm of a company to jam everything in the cloud because it’s more convenient for them. It’s not shocking at all that margins are that high when a team pushes to pay AWS $40k a month for a static workload that could run on two racks of servers.
- galeaspablo 2y ago“Dumb” could be reworded ;) I would say “irrational when it comes to costs”. Not all developers ask questions such as: Does paying 10K for convenience save me and my team more than 10k worth of time? Does this vendor make it easy to migrate out? Of course I’m biased, because I like it better when the answers favor us, cloud vendors. But there are no catch all answers; as always, it depends.
