AWS Customers Rack Up Hefty Bills for Moving Data

I was just reading about advisor termination fee terms which were some substantial multiple of all fees incurred over some past number of years.

People under pressure make short term optimizations at the expense of long term strategy. There's nothing more to it. AWS reduced compute and IT expenses in the next few fiscal years, so people jumped all in on it. Solve the problem now. Someone will fix it in the future.

Programmers should campaign for hefty termination fees. Sure, you can fire me, but you'd have to pay me one year's salary.

Actually, it would probably just make some programmers even more intolerable.

Instead of options ask for severance term next job interview
