But how many companies are never going to have scaling issues, and also have the resources to hire a good in-house sysadmin to manage their servers? And sure, maybe you have somebody on staff who can handle the sysadmin duties now, but what if they leave? Do you still have the resources to maintain your own servers?
The author's advice is good for basically one scenario: a personal hobby project run by somebody who already knows they would prefer to run their own servers instead of use a cloud host.

The ones that know how hire good people. If a company can’t hold on to talent then they’ll probably fail eventually. Cloud won’t fix bad management.
You need good people before you can hire good people. If you don't already have any sysadmins on your staff, how are you supposed to identify the good sysadmin candidates from the bad ones?
