I agree completely, but the argument remains the same - there's not much utility in using the big clouds as VPS providers, and it's definitely costly to do so.

I'm running the tech for a global startup with 100M EUR turnover. It's still pretty small, but it's something. You need to plan ahead, sure. Portability was one of my main concerns…

If you're just running VPS on the big clouds, you're not going to get much advantage out of it, indeed. But tell me what third tier cheap provider has managed scale-to-zero-or-infi…

What's a serious cloud provider-portable replacement for Terraform? And Kubernetes? It goes way beyond containers, you can replace many cloud provider-specific resources with Kuber…

I said I'd have to change that one managed resource. Actually it's two - the managed database. But no more.

Well I'd have to change my Terraform provider and the managed Kubernetes resource... Other than that, it'd be the same. So half an hour of coding + half an hour of reconfiguring CI…

By this logic, they are also currently Embracing and Extending Windows, Office, etc. This doesn't make sense to me. It's their original products, not something they embraced and pl…

The western neighbours have outsized influence on EU policy compared to the east, of course they have to take part of the blame. EU energy policy made visible changes on the market…

What exactly did they embrace and extend with LSP? And what's going to get extinguished? They created it and others adopted it... They could've simply integrated TypeScript into VS…

It's not surprising when you count the worthless currencies with state-mandated exchange rates into the calculation. If you wanted to do things legally as a western company then yo…
