I have always felt so, but my opinion is definitely in the minority.

In fact, I find that folks have extremely negative responses to any discussion of improving software Quality.

  • Merely reducing external dependencies causes people to come out in rashes.

    A large proportion of “developers” enjoy build vs buy arguments far too much.

You aren’t cloudflare’s customer in these examples. It depends on the companies that are actually paying for and using the service to complain. Odds are that they won’t care on your behalf due to how our society is structured.

Not really sure how our community is supposed to deal with this.

  • “We” are the ones making the architecture and the technical specs of these services. Taking care for it to still work when your favourite FAANGMC is down seems like something we can help with.
