Seconding (or thirding) Affinity! I switched last year and apart from some functionality about charts and graphs, I am not looking back at all.

I think the only cost is not the body count. One must look to the displaced populations, affects of the drop of GDP, etc. And how one thing led to another and in the end gave rise to (or at least provided the dirt to grow for) IS, etc.

Serverless (as far as I can understand) is what we can consider as the early stages of the commoditization of compute. Meaning, similar to electricity or tap water, at some point in our lives we will subscribe to a provider and then just plug and play whatever we want to. It is just we are in the early stages.

If you are interested in these kind of stuff, maybe take a look at Wardley Maps: https://medium.com/wardleymaps

I think that "decency"/"profit" forces are not directly a part of Marketing but rather business. It is not marketing's mission to maximize profits, it's business's. I'd say if your high-level management is not evil, then marketing is also not evil. This assumes competency, btw. If people involved are not competent, yeah, then easily shift towards the evil end without the profit maximization. But since almost all of the capitalist system is profit-driven, yeah, almost all of the companies easily discard "decency" for higher "profit".
