Reminds me of companies getting their cloud computing bills.

"We need cloud computing!!!!"

5 minutes later: "Ok a monolith is good enough"

Both of those statements hurt my soul, damn, why do you have to do that to me. On a Friday no less

It's friday and your boss wants to move everything over to a blockchain. He says it will only take an hour tops.

Its top priority because it's part of our new AI strategy. Make sure it's well documented for your weekly report you will have to deliver to the c suite.

Yup. I've had the same thoughts. There are many who still think its insane to have your own equipment. Now there will be those who think its insane to do your own thinking.

Yeah, but you get to exchange cap-ex for op-ex!

Nevermind that running a 48 core server in Azure with 16TB of managed disks is going to run about 21k a year, and you can practically buy a new server for that price.

My company is tossing out their "old" equipment right now, which is why I have a nice server humming away in my basement right now.
