Compliance. If you wanna sell your SAAS to big corpo, their compliance teams will feel you know what you're doing if they read AWS or Cloudflare on your architecture, even if you do not quite know what you're doing.

Let them be rich. Stoicism would recommend you not try to control what isn't in your hands to control; just accept it. Can you imagine that centuries ago, the same rules of class, power, and money drove society, and some very smart phi

The value is in keeping the code running. Unless you are doing something very complex from scratch, you are mostly writing code for hire or for your startup. Nowadays, that code does not really take that long to develop. You will be wrappin
