Yeah. Probably Google.

You can still enjoy painting, but there is no guarantee that you will be paid for it.

My November schedules are getting crowded. No shaving, no faps, no socials, ...

These things should free up your schedule :)

At least you can still vember, right? What's that? Oh...

If this works very well and reliable, it might not kill programming as such, but it might put a lot of small businesses who do custom software for other small businesses out of work.

The HN bubble might not realize the implications.

To think I've been doing breathing wrong all these years...

The tyranny of overuse of tyranny in headlines.

And with bad spelling ("tirrany").

It fits here, though. In an oral tradition, why would you worry about spelling?

Honestly, I don't see a big difference between learning the arcane non-standard, non-portable incantations needed to configure and use various forks of standard utilities running on the $CLOUD_PROVIDER, and learning to configure and run the actual service that is portable and completely standard.

Okay, I lied. The later seems much more useful and sane.

Cloud providers and even cloudflare go down regularly. Relax.

Sure - but when AWS goes down, Amazon fixes it, even on the weekends. If you self-host, you need to pay a person to be on call to fix it.

Not only that. When your self-host goes down your customers complain that you are down. When AWS goes down your customers complain that internet is down

AWS doesn't have to pay people (LOTS OF PEOPLE) to keep things running over the weekends?

And they aren't...just passing those costs on to their customers?

They are of course, but it's amortized over many users. If you're a small company, it's hard to hire one-tenth of an SRE.

Not every business needs that kind of uptime.

How often is GitHub down? We are all just fine without it for a while.

What is this?!

You are self-managing expensive dedicated hardware in form of MacBooks, instead of renting Azure Windows VM's?!

Shame!

Don't be silly, - the MacBook Pro's are just used to RDP to the Azure Windows VMs ;)
