Agreed. At this point HN could have a post about the merits of plain old dedicated servers and it would seem novel.


Just wait. In ten more years IBM and Deloitte will re-brand fat clients and on-prem infrastructure as something else and they'll start selling it to everyone. Replace "mainframe" and "dumb terminal" with "the cloud" and "web app" and we had this same conversation 40 years ago. Then in another 20 years we'll swing back to some version of consolidated+remote servers and lightweight client access portals.
