Big cloud is ludicrously expensive. It’s truly amazing. Bandwidth is even worse. It’s like a 10000X markup.

It’s wild that no one knows just how cheap bandwidth really is. AWS pulled one over on people and it’s like the movie studios still demanding 10% of the top for VHS distribution. Today.

That’s with every industry

Make things look like a complicated black box. Make sure it feels scary to roll your own. Hide the core technical skills behind abstracted skills

Cloud has done a truly epically awesome job at this. People are now afraid to set stuff up.
