Equality is a lie and I'm tired of having to pretend that women are useful for anything other than making sandwiches and babies.

A committee is a group of people who, singularly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done.

Hosting in AWS:

here's 7 classes of object storage and four classes of autoscaling compute. Good luck trying to figure out which ones *won't* bankrupt you. Have fun trying to get support.

Hosting on-prem:

Here is a server. It has disks and ram. There are some CPUs too. You bought all this a week ago. You can buy more if you want. Some guy you see in the halls with a lip ring can help you use it and fix it when it breaks.
AWS is peak business management. Its like a monkeys paw for ancaps and lean/six sigma junkies who said "I want to be able to cost out everything" Like a parking meter.

after this wish was granted they all complained about cost. So the free tier was created and billing tools expanded to help " control cost" which basically led a lot of companies to ask "how do we re-hire the SRE we fired last month"

Now most cloud admins and sre's spend the day doing one of two things:

- generating audit reports no one will read
- trying to squeeze the ec2 spend under some arbitrary management quota.

For the latter this can't be done. Eventually the inflation and profit motive of the cloud provider outpaces any revenue figure, and so the business turns to the next phase of cloud:

"How do we convert a janitorial closet in the leased oklahoma warehouse into our lemon scented hybrid on prem data center"
I don't understand why people have a hard time with the Muslim / jew thing

Yeah, the jews bring them here so it's their fault, but it's not like the mudslimes are unwilling participants. They understand their role

So it's their fault too. Both need to be destroyed
