I hope this won’t be counted as some form of self-promotion, even though I am sharing a post from my own blog.
As a tech worker who works in a Cloud shop, I wanted to elaborate the many reasons why I find working with Clouds terrible, from multiple points of view.
I tried to organize my thoughts in a (relatively long) post, in which both technical aspects and political aspects (which are very related) are covered.
I am sure many people will have different perspectives, and this could be potentially also a nice prompt for a discussion.
Temporarily becoming.
Just like China had some social and cultural changes since being closed and till the Opium wars.
Systems are built around people and limited by what a human can conceive and make work. We don’t evolve that fast.
Also dependency on big centers has led to catastrophes in the past and will lead to those again.
It will all crash with a huge bang.
I’m confident of this, anyone who wants may call me a luddite.
Let’s hope that people will start to favor on-prem solutions and smaller independent cloud providers vs the massive trillion dollar corpo clouds that control so much now.
