Mark my words the loop is coming back around. I look forward to when my work migrates the datacenter off AWS back on prem because of ballooning costs.

You work in IT long enough you see it for the joke it is. We get paid obscene amounts of money to do what amounts to nothing.

Just because rotating managers always come with the 'new current thing everyone is doing'.

Like no, 99% of companies can just do what they've always done. No need to rebuild everything from scratch.

I'm already in the middle of that. Everything non-public-facing is going to cheap lease boxes running workloads in docker. idgaf if the machine underneath lives or dies, its 3 lines of config in a terraform script to replace.
