    I bet it’s some kind of “accident”, just like when they “accidentally” cut down the shade trees over the Hollywood strikers.

      They can violate the laws and there is nobody within the government to advocate for the working class.

      The government is there to protect owners and their corporations from us. The issue is that they are the ones waging the war on the working class.

    I gotta say, for those of you who still can’t seem to cut the Amazumbilical, stop buying shit from this fucking company.

      I understand it from people who live remotely. People who have to drive 45min-hour to get to a major grocery store or a Walmart or whatever. But if you live in Ann Arbor, or New York. What are you doing?

      I’ve really been trying hard to convince people to use Digital Ocean or GCP instead of AWS but it’s a hard road. AWS has become the Microsoft Office of web services, where most companies won’t even consider alternatives.

        A big problem here is a whole generation of developers who have learned to build stuff explicitly for AWS. If I ever inherit another Serverless project it’ll be too soon.

        Serverless, S3, SES, Cognito, and many many other tools are often tightly coupled to the application, so you get hooked on the “free” tier and can’t extricate yourself later.

        There’s some hope here with Docker and Kubernetes, but a lot of companies (especially contractors) only know how to build exclusively on top of these AWS services, so if you’re like most start-ups, contracting out first and second generations of your app, you can get committed to AWS for life.

          Typically AWS is cheaper than the other majors. Some of the minors can be cheaper if you don’t need all the bells and whistles. AWS’s free tier is incredibly hard to beat for tiny hobby things and learning. At enterprise scale, you really have to go with a major over a minor if you need volume. The minors fit best for a very specific, smaller niche that will never allow them to grow enough to take on the majors.

          I have only ever found AWS to be stupid expensive for new things before they get called out for price gouging.

      These companies would LITERALLY kill you to save face…see most whistleblowers sudden ‘suicides’.

        The companies don’t need to, the police will do it for free.

        Proper nomenclature is a “boeing suicide”
