100%. They bill it as "you don't have to pay a guy to run your on prem hardware for you" but you absolutely do not save money once you've scaled to the point you need a few machines.
And by that point, your software is probably so tied in to proprietary Amazon stuff that they've got you in a vice.
It's the same model as Oracle: oh we're so easy to use and friendly, and we have all these great Oracle specific features, go ahead and use them! 😊 but then they have you locked in and they can just start squeezing.
Yeah it's Office Lost, but it's good. It's not like, the best thing in TV history but it's the best thing everyone's watching right now and it's pretty good IMO.
I keep wanting to get people to watch Lodge 49 which has similar vibes, but is more friendly.
The full context of the first was like "It gives us the same strange out of place feeling as when we see an actor who we can't quite place how we know them."
The second clause describing the actor feels redundant to me, it feels very awkward. Having the pronoun for the same subject in there feels weird. "An actor that ..." Means that ... Is specifically referring to the actor. Then we have "... we don't know where we know them" feels like a whole new sentence with its own subject and object. It feels unrelated to me. The them is redundant, to me.
