You will save so, so much money switching away from clouds too.

No, you don't need to use a hundred different AWS/GCP/whatever services, and yes, managing your own infrastructure is a lot easier than you think (and sometimes easier/faster than AWS).

The Stack Exchange network, at least around 2018 or so, was hosted on 12 servers they own!

Completely agree. The clouds are still very comfortable for development though, and i use them a lot. But i'd never even think of using cloud in production.
