How can you guarantee you'll have access to your 2TB Google Drive when they ban your Google account for breaching terms or accidentally tripping a circuit breaker across one of their offerings? Yup, pay more but get 2 providers.

The cloud is a psyop, a scam. Except at the tiniest free-tier / near free-tier use cases, or true scale to zero setups. I've helped a startup with 2.5M revenue reduce their cloud spend from close to 2M/yr to below 1M/yr.

The lesson here is to always offer a larger tier than what your largest subscribers have.

Thanks. I unsubscribed when I busted my weekly limit in a few hours on the Max 20x plan when I had to use Opus over Sonnet. It really feels like they were off by an order of magnitude at some point when limits were introduced.

650GB? Your data is small, fits on my phone. Dump the hyped tooling and just use gnu tools. Here's an oldie on the topic: https://adamdrake.com/command-line-tools-can-be-235x-faster-...

I've seen how the cloud changed over 20 years from s3/ec2 in 2006 to what we have today. I've also seen how it's built at AWS. It's ironic they call it utility computing. What I always feared as a user was that they

Should future attributions in white papers go to js8 from HN?

Right, but depending on your workload, compute might just be 1/3 to 1/2 of your spend. The remainder going on storage, networking (egress and internal between regions & AZs), LBs, and higher abstraction services (from queues t

You have to remember that health status dashboards at most (all?) cloud providers require VP approval to switch status. This stuff is not your startup's automated status dashboard. It's politics, contracts, money.
