Because if you host your own servers and infra they are automatically pets? Seems like a weird statement. I think that phrase was even coined before cloud became really big.
- mindslight 10mo agoMany cattle have names and given that it takes a bunch of cloud instances to do what a small menagerie of self-hosted servers can do, I'd say a better analogy is an infestation of rats.
