I have a recruitment problem. If I tell recruits “We use AWS”, they’ll be happy the be waterboarded when trying to do something, they’ll have the feeling of being in connection with the rest of the world, preparing their resume for the future.

If I tell them “I have Digital Ocean, I maintain the load balancer myself, the database myself, ELK myself, and you’ll be expert in Postgres, Ansible, Nginx and Debian”, I sound like an old fart.

The future for them in AWS is a click-on-the-button deployment and they’ll master nothing.
