    Just because it is (was) close to all-time high doesn't mean it's high. Look at the P/E[1]. The market does not think it will grow long-term. [1] And yes I know it's artificially l…

    Ignoring the bread analogy, isn't decoupling a likely outcome? I make and deploy my own SaaS and pay somebody to be on-call for ongoing maintenance. This would argue for more stand…
