Yup; a VC I brunched with a couple weeks ago said cloud is dead and he’s looking for alternatives

Yeah, AWS, Azure, and GCP are all shutting down tomorrow. They just decided the cloud isn't that cool any more.

Right because VCs are shoveling money at AWS directly

Their take was startups leveraging the cloud are dead to VCs except in certain niche situations

The proles are always behind the trends

Apple jumped into content creation after Alice neutered software patents. Copyright is Disney level bread and butter now

There are few real markets for CRUD app startups which are just the same old shit with a marketing angle painted on top

Docker pull that shit and run it local.
