The irony is the amount of money they have thrown at "Dev Advocates" who don't do a god damn thing to advocate for how developers use their platform. Frankly that's because folks that care burn out. I still remember the time a high-up rail-roaded me and lied repeatedly to a VP about the design of a product as I desperately tried to save them from the 5+ years of having to educate users on two different ways to do [basic ops]. Those basic cloud objects of course have major differences in functionality and ecosystem viability depending on what you choose, but this isn't really explained up front either, you find out by building a solution for months and then finding out you have to backtrack and start over the Azure integration. Maybe again.

All to say, I agree wholeheartedly with every word.
