    it has real advantages for some scenarios. finding those scenarios (and by extension, everything it’s not good for) is usually what makes tech bubbles burst.

      I miss having a big private cluster.

      I do not miss fighting with other departments for a share of that one cluster.

      I definitely do not miss waiting months for capacity to be added.

      That it costs my employer a bit more is a decision made above my pay grade.

        meanwhile we’re running our entire infra and support for hundreds of international customers on one of those old flat lenovo thinkstations.

        we only just got a vps, because of routing issues.

          Different scale needs different tech.

          I’ve been at F500 companies but it sounds like you’re at a smaller business.

            i’ve been all over. the last five years were spent partly with one other person in a garage, partly at a 100ish people biolab, partly at a high-security pan-european ID provider, partly at the world’s largest truck manufacturer.
