Is there a middleground? Perhaps standardizing on something like Terraform allows you to reduce the risk of going all-in on one vendor. Similarly with Kubernetes; if you go all in on k8S, do you care where it's hosted or can you maneuv

Get it to a chop shop for parts and/or get it out of the country and I can imagine it's pretty high.

The first time I visited Mountain View, I was absolutely blown away by the "sameness" of the people living there. Racially, it is much more diverse than my hometown of Austin, but I could never escape the feeling, after talking t
