I agree completely, but the argument remains the same - there's not much utility in using the big clouds as VPS providers, and it's definitely costly to do so.

I'm running the tech for a global startup with 100M EUR turnover. It's still pretty small, but it's something. You need to plan ahead, sure. Portability was one of my main concerns (including the possibility to go self-hosted

If you're just running VPS on the big clouds, you're not going to get much advantage out of it, indeed. But tell me what third tier cheap provider has managed scale-to-zero-or-infinity functions? Managed storage with S3-like API?

What's a serious cloud provider-portable replacement for Terraform? And Kubernetes? It goes way beyond containers, you can replace many cloud provider-specific resources with Kubernetes resources. What alternative gives you that?

I said I'd have to change that one managed resource. Actually it's two - the managed database. But no more.

Well I'd have to change my Terraform provider and the managed Kubernetes resource... Other than that, it'd be the same. So half an hour of coding + half an hour of reconfiguring CI secrets?

Well then that's clearly not EEE. There can be more predatory market strategies than just EEE.

I don't care about the rest of the world. The rest of the world can do whatever. My state doesn't have natural gas or oil, nor a lot of sunshine or wind, nor a lot of rivers. I care about my taxes (and I don't mean EU subsidi

Wut? Their anti-nuclear policy reveals them as pro-nuclear? What new nuclear was built during the last 2 decades, before they had to change the anti-nuclear policy? The population is pro-nuclear, sure. But the policy was set by the anti-nuc

The EU green deal was specifically anti-nuclear until very recently. What I'm talking about started in 2008 and finished around 2012 (though we're going to be paying for it for many decades).

By this logic, they are also currently Embracing and Extending Windows, Office, etc. This doesn't make sense to me. It's their original products, not something they embraced and plan on extinguishing.

The western neighbours have outsized influence on EU policy compared to the east, of course they have to take part of the blame. EU energy policy made visible changes on the markets and landscape of the eastern republics - and the people he

What exactly did they embrace and extend with LSP? And what's going to get extinguished? They created it and others adopted it... They could've simply integrated TypeScript into VSCode using a proprietary protocol to keep people l

It's not surprising when you count the worthless currencies with state-mandated exchange rates into the calculation. If you wanted to do things legally as a western company then you had to price everyone of the 25 million out. It was
