    Oh, you’re not wasting my time, I decided to waste it myself. I just don’t understand how “you can host a server in your garage” is even a seriously meant answer to replacing AWS.

    Like, at my day job I’m responsible for managing an AWS stack that costs the company upwards of $20,000 per month. And we’re far from the largest users. You can’t store that in a garage.

      Any at scale company could easily run their own servers in their own garages, but they choose to put them in The Cloud™ because it looked cheaper in some management presentation (why bother asking operations, what do they know).
