#5This is just another way of saying “you shouldn’t use AWS if you don’t know how to use it”
Yes, there’s a steep learning curve. But once you’re passed that (or if you gained that knowledge in a prior role) AWS can easily hands down be the easiest, cheapest, and fastest infrastructure platform to use.
…if you know what you’re doing.
If you don’t know the ins and outs of AWS, then yes, you probably shouldn’t use it for your next MVP or startup idea.

#7> API that works on localhost: 4 days
Lol. This may be true but if kind of pointless as an api on localist isn’t very useful unless you’re automating your home. Of course it’s easier to hack something out on localhost than to design for actual users.
I think it makes more sense to build incrementally with the end in mind. So writing those terraform scripts will take less time if you initially write them to deploy to localhost for testing.

#8this "thought leadership" in our industry is a disease
There’s been an seo template since slashdot ages of find a prevailing wisdom, write a naive clickbaity post, profit. Sometimes I think authors are earnestly wrong, sometimes I think they are just fake. Sadly, it’s still profitable.
I thought that one day I’d interview someone who wrote a post like that and figure out for real. But I’ve been waiting decades so it probably won’t happen.
“Everything you know is wrong.” Yadda yadda yadda

That's strange indeed. It's hosted by ghost.org and uses Fathom Analytics, that's about it. Unsure why it would be reported as phishing.

#10Article doesn’t really present an argument. Pretty much starts with ‘you don’t want the cost and complexity’ and then goes on from that point as a given.
A more useful article would actually walk through the cost/complexity trade
