My hate for hyperscalers is greater than my hate of being SRE.
It's time to leave GCP, AWS, and the rest.
Google and Amazon markup can eat it. Fuck those guys.
Let's not forget that Google and Amazon tried to offshore us, played a role in inventing the labor-displacing models in the first place, and that don't give a shit about any of us.
I hope they ossify and turn into the next IBMs.
They thought AI would lead to growth and a greater concentration of wealth for themselves, but it's actually the seeds of their own destruction and dismantlement.
Only tangentially related, but recently when I was working on a feature using iCloud, I noticed that it's just using Google storage APIs. I read Apple uses AWS S3 too.
Supposedly Apple holds the encryption keys on their own infra, but I still found it interesting how they are just reselling Google Cloud storage here.
