> Nobody wants to manage servers. Managing servers is a nasty side effect of wanting to execute code.

I'll take issue with this one. I'm fully aware I'm weird, but I do actually enjoy managing servers. And with that effort spent managing servers, I buy the ability to actually create the environment in which my code runs, and interact and improve it over time, rather than relying on someone else's idea of what's good for my code. Moreover, I get the ability to dictate the security environment in which my code runs, instead of hoping my cloud provider is doing it properly enough for me (and not busy snooping on what I'm doing in the process).

I think what the poster means is "I don't want to manage servers, I want to write code." Which: fine. The world needs people who focus on writing good code. But I'm sick and tired of this attitude that coding is somehow more noble or better than the important work of building and maintaining the environment in which the code runs. You don't like it? Awesome, don't do it. But stop spitting on people who do, and who legitimately enjoy doing it.
