I agree but for different reasons.

The whole AI thing is renewing interest in self-hosted infra which happens to be a specialty of mine. Cutting out the "cloud" means having people that actually understand how things work, which means better colleagues, bosses that appreciate what I know and can do and less dealing with bullshit vendor garbage.

I don't know how long this AI fad will last or if the cloud providers will find a way to make their offerings affordable vs self-hosting going forward but for now I'm just enjoying renewed relevancy of one of my more enjoyable skill sets.
