I think amazon has reached the tip. So many side projects that lay there abandoned because if im not setting up my own vpc subnets and gateways manually i feel defiled and ashamed.

This is what amazon has successfully done, raised the cognitive sunk cost so fucking high you need to pay for their bs certificqtion i didnt even study but somehow passed even aftwr arriving to the exam 30 min late because the city of vancouver are such fucking master extortionist of parking tickets and somehow everybody has decided to park...i digress

I know you're being downvoted, but this sentiment toward AWS is exactly what will eventually kill it. Why should someone waste their life away learning the complexities of AWS? It's not a lasting addition to one's life like, say, learning biology or history or how to write. It's needless complexity that won't have any value in 15 years.

Dunno about you, but I have not found many "complexities" in the parts of AWS that people actually use that don't map pretty directly to using other cloud providers or running your own systems. I look at an AWS thing, go "oh, okay," and go about my day.

Learn fundamentals, apply fundamentals. It's pretty simple.

Sounds like a startup opportunity. :) RackSpace for hobby projects?
