I’m sick of people saying this. The truth at every cloud provider:

1. There were outages under the old guard.

2. The new guard is operating systems that are larger than what the old guard operated.

You don't think companies try to save costs by hiring the cheapest and dumbest people?

I don't think that's the exact mechanism, no.

They might go on a hiring freeze, cancel a role, or in some cases pass on someone asking too much... But I don't think any major players are actively out trawling for "cheap and dumb". Certainly not Cloudflare, AWS and Google.
