Infrastructure is cheap. Labor is expensive.

I agree labor is expensive, which is why you shouldn't use Rails. Shopify brags it took them only a year to upgrade Rails one major version https://shopify.engineering/upgrading-shopify-to-rails-5-0

That's from 6 years ago. Shopify has used Rails' main branch since 2019.

Infra is cheap when you're in hyper build mode. When your growth rate stalls and your expenses are greater than your income, infra gets expensive very quick and will kill your company.
