I work in tech and I promise it’s not. I worked my way through support and engineering and then did development. I promise people aren’t as bad at tech as they appear to you. The only thing stopping people is laziness.

AOC is a clown. A preferable clown, but a clown non the less. Why don’t we elect some intelligent, qualified and competent.

It is practically possible. You just have to put in a small amount of effort. Anyone saying it’s too hard has given up without trying.

Sr Architect. Lol.

It’s not hard and there’s plenty of people, like myself, that are willing to help you. Let’s work together.

I’m not debating you. There’s no value in it. You’re ignorant and there is no value is trying to talk with you or change your mind.

“Do better”

Learn some social skills, prick.

I’m not asking you to. Those are rhetorical. You either pay for them and are wrong about your costs or you don’t pay for them and you’re a hack, your software is a joke, and you don’t belong in tech.

You’re either lying or not knowledgeable on the topic enough to have an informed opinion.

No. It’s not my job to teach you. Don’t speak unless you know what you’re talking about. It’s clear you’re not confident you did either.

You don’t pay for electricity or pay a fee for using the data center? You don’t pay an engineer to do maintenance? You don’t pay for your own alerting system? You don’t pay for the network security tools? You don’t pay for your subscription to Docker Hub? You don’t pay for a second physical location you can swap to in an incident?

I do these migrations for a living. I know you’re a liar. Cloud beats on prem everytime. You simply cannot compete with their economy of scale.

If it’s my job to make sure the Dam keeps working and the Dam breaks, I’m responsible. I don’t get to say “Well I didn’t know about the cracks I’m only a manager.”. As a professional you can’t just dismiss responsibility. You have to be proficient. If I hire someone who claims to be an expert, and they break things, they can be sued.

It’s the Democrats job to get elected. They will need to make sure their message makes it to average Americans. Since they failed to do this, they’ve failed to do their job. They’re incompetent and guilty of gross negligence.

Your “Best Effort” is meaningless in the real world. Results speak for themselves and the Dems are losers.

You can also just have an application designed to do that do it more accurately.

If you can’t do that you’re not an engineer. If you don’t recommend that you’re not an engineer.

If they think AI is working for them then he can. If you think AI is an effective tool for any profession you are a clown. If my son’s preschool teacher used it to make a lesson plan she would be incompetent. If a plumber asked what kind of wrench he needed he would be kicked out of my house. If an engineer of one of my teams uses it to write code he gets fired.

AI “works” because you’re asking questions you don’t know and it’s just putting words together so they make sense without regard to accuracy. It’s a hard limit of “AI” that we’ve hit. It won’t get better in our lifetimes.

I work in tech and can confirm the the vast majority of engineers “dislike ai” and are disillusioned with AI tools. Even ones that work on AI/ML tools. It’s fewer and fewer people the higher up the pay scale you go.

There isn’t a single complex coding problem an AI can solve. If you don’t understand something and it helps you write it I’ll close the MR and delete your code since it’s worthless. You have to understand what you write. I do not care if it works. You have to understand every line.

“But I use it just fine and I’m an…”

Then you’re not an engineer and you shouldn’t have a job. You lack the intelligence, dedication and knowledge needed to be one. You are detriment to your team and company.

I agree with the sentiment, but GCP typically isn’t the fail over. Most people will start with AWS and fail over to Azure, or start with Azure and just fail into nothing.

To stop using Google you would need to find every app that used Firebase and ignore them, that would be one of the hardest parts. You couldn’t use GitLab or other SaaS tools that work out of GCP. You’d likely need to just get offline to avoid their ads.

AWS is the professional one. Azure has Microsoft power. GCP tends to be less well through of. Alibaba isn’t far behind GCP. Even a fistful of smaller providers will collectively have double the users/revenue or more It is usually 30% for AWS, 20% Azure and 10% GCP these days.

Not to say GCP is bad, I like BigQuery as much as the next guy, but alluding that it’s the fail over or fallback for professional companies is not accurate.

It’s clear you only have a surface level understanding of the issue so you should either read up or be quiet on the topic. Your ignorance isn’t of any value.

If there are voters that are only watching legacy media then any approach that doesn’t include legacy media is nothing short of negligent.

Saying they’re good at messaging and then saying people don’t paying attention enough to see it is an oxymoron. If they were good at messaging you wouldn’t have to pay attention to see it.

They’re not going to pay a decent wage to pick food. They’re going to enslave you and force you to pick the food for the same wages as before, if not less.

You keep expecting them to suddenly start playing by the rules. You don’t matter anymore to them. They’ve written off the need to win your vote.

If you’re doing actual big compute its cheaper in the cloud. Considerably. It’s also very easy and cheap to store lots of data. You will never be able to compete with their price for storage so I have no idea why you think that would be true.

I’ve done the on prem design. I’ve migrated people entirely to the cloud. I specialize a little in between.

Without any shred of doubt the cloud is going to be more cost effective than self hosting for 99% of all use cases. They’re priced that way intentionally. You cannot compete with Cloudflare/AWS/GCP/Vultr/Akami/Digital Ocean/etc.

My homelab isn’t about scaling, production workloads and definitely isn’t accessible to anyone but me. I’d argue using it in any other way defeats the purpose and shows a lack of understanding.
