Turns out dropping over a billion in cash on two companies to acquire tech your org can barely use, banking on ads, a decade of teaching your devs to build monolithic spaghetti, thinking that Nvidia was telling the truth about who was buying GPUs, and an aversion to open source weren't winning ideas.
I've used infracost and kubecost heavily in my last two positions and love it. Great way to let other developers and clients who aren't as familiar with the cloud's nonsense see which items are big spending points and where cost-optimizing makes more sense.
I would advise that anyone do the opposite of anything IBM is doing of they don't want to bleed billions in lawsuits and crumble.

No, especially if you make me click 3 times to get to the login section but put 'sign up now' on the front page.
I moved to the EU from the US for this reason. Slight pay cut, but no regrets at all.

History is full of very confident people denying the sentience of other humans simply by nature of gender, religion, skin color, age etc. Hell most people won't even admit non-human animals are sentient.

I'm going to hop on the side of the AI on this one. I trust it more than google execs anyway

Weird that you think this is some sort of completion, weirder that you picked a side.
