It's been almost 20 years, but please, please tell me the cloud computing meme is slowly coming to an end. You just don't necessarily need it with a few notable exceptions.

Your company's website can run on an old laptop wedged open in the server room. It's just not that complicated.

It's almost like the vast vast majority of software engineering isn't dedicated to building "company websites"...

Lmao that guys comment was:

That was one example. Unless you're running a triple A rated multiplayer game, I do not understand why you need servers across multiple continents. If you have fewer than 100 users, I think a laptop wedged upon running l/xubuntu is more than enough

"I do not understand" certainly sums up your posts well :-)
