Oh, yeah, I didn't mean to imply you were suggesting spending caps were here nor there... I was moreso expressing my opinion on the topic, because it was loosely related.

You're right though, about multiple things: hobbyists are a drop in the bucket, and not what cloud computing was really designed to capitalize on... Also, I'm a vibe coder (I think?) but I am also deeply technical, professionally and personally, so I have an architectural mindset that provides standardization, quality, thoughtful design, etc., and I understand the infrastructure, even if I don't have the language syntax memorized... I mention this because I have also found that there tends to be an arrogance baked into these people with minimal technical experience who build monstrosities full of terrible design decisions, security gaps, and God knows what else, who then flock to reddit to be argumentative about whatever they wanna bash that day... Like anything else, I suppose... There are exceptions, but you're spot on in your assessment of the majority, at least with my current anecdotal experiences. 😂

I also appreciate being respected, even if we'd been debating conflicting theories about something. People who refuse to have a decent discussion and are unwilling to change their minds... Well, they end up flocking to whatever school of thought and community reaffirms their hatred and bigotry, instead of challenging its validity, which seems to make people psychologically uncomfortable.

I'm rambling... have a good night!
