You haven’t met most people. :)

Thank you, good explanation. I can see why people get confused since the outcome depends on the subscription length then.

This is me right now, constantly thinking about how to implement a thing I’m working on. Even in bed I wake up and think about it. Lols.

I thought they let you use the version you used when you started subscribing, not then you ended the subscription? This was something a lot of people were upset about. That if you subscribe for a year and stop, you end up with a year old version.

Even worse when you have a bug and you cant stop trying to find it and fix it. I often have the feeling that if I stop now, I lose the entire context of what I’m doing and it’s just so hard to get started again the next day.

I prefer to dig in until I find it, even when tired and hungry.

I used to use a lot of nvim but actually went to Jetbrains now at work… It’s just a lot easier to work with for teams.

You are paying aws to not have one big server, so you get high availability and dynamic load balancing as instances come and go.

I agree its not cheaper than being on prem. But it’s much higher quality solutions.

Today at work, they decided to upgrade from ancient Ubuntu version to a more recent version. Since they don’t use aws properly, they treat servers as pets. So to upgrade Ubuntu, they actually upgraded Ubuntu on the instance instead of creating a new one. This led to grub failing and now they are troubleshooting how to mount disks etc.

All of this could easily be avoided by using the cloud properly.

Companies are often insane. I’m working in one who has this one guy build a super complicated architecture, because he don’t know aws. So instead of just using a message queue on aws, he is building Java programs and tons of software and containers to try and send messages in a reliable way. Costs the company huge money, but they don’t care, since he is some old timer who has been there for like 10 years and everyone let’s him do what he wants.
