You see, with all the new AI and automation, “human resources” are wholly obsolete. I mean, that is until they program AI’s to have gender/race identity, then the robot will have their own labor disputes to deal with. You hear me code monkeys? There is your golden ticket, much more lucrative than planned obsolescence.🤣

Hate seeing anyone lose their job. That said, I undoubtedly argued this point with specifically these people over on Reddit as soon as the lockdowns began. As Trump said, the cure can't be worse than the disease. I think it's only just beginning, unfortunately.

While the company aims to operate leaner this year, Jassy said he remains optimistic about the company’s “largest businesses,” retail and Amazon Web Services, as well as other, new divisions it continues to invest in.

This is all the more reason to get the fuck away from AWS at all costs.

I’m an AWS “certified developer.” My personal opinion is “serverless architecture” just moves complexity from the application level to the platform level and promotes even deeper vendor lock-in. But there’s a lot of money to be made for consultants doing cloud migrations, stupid as it is.

As a consultant this is absolutely correct. We don't solve problems. We refactor them and make bank. I feel like a lawyer sometimes, LOL.

As you refractor and bake yourself into vendor lock-in there are patterns you can use to abstract yourself a bit so migration away is easier:

Where do you go though? Azure? Google? A smaller provider which is probably more expensive and not as resilient? Back on-prem?

Getting away from AWS is absolutely the thing to do but it's easier said than done unfortunately.

Oracle is trying to get into the cloud provider space. I wouldn’t trust them any more than the rest.

My advice when building a new service is to keep it cloud agnostic! No using the fancy proprietary services like lambda, dynamodb, etc. you should be able to run in any environment, including your own dedicated boxen if you have to.

Side note: S3 has become somewhat of a standard, and there are non AWS solutions (including on prem) that are compatible, so that one is doable 😀

No such thing. You think they actually cars about "trans lives" or "systemic racism" or whatever crap they spewed in 2020? No, it's all just marketing.

Until very recently Twitter was full of liberal shillbots. That's the closest these corporate executives ever came to interacting with real people. Of course they parroted every left wing narrative, they thought Twitter was real life.

Now the Silicon Valley techbros are SHOCKED to learn that they're actually not popular. Last week when SVB was failing and all the tech companies weren't gonna make payroll, half the country said "good riddance."
