Thought Leaders: "Programming will be obsolete within 5 years. All business software will be generated by AIs"
Actual Businesses: "actually we're mainly still on-premise, running on Windows Server 2003 and VBScript ASP, but our two-year plan to migrate everything into a cloud kicked off in 2015 and we're making steady progress."
My Team: Could you please fix the networking to our development server environment so we can support our customer?
Company: Better yet, you will move your environment onto the cloud!
Team: ooookayy.....
Company: Oh yeah, you can't run all the virtual machines that you were before, and all the cloud servers automatically shut down at 9pm to save money.
Usually we are not, unless we need to coordinate something with offshore teams.
The problem with them shutting down at night is that we must manually restart them in the morning. It also causes issues diagnosing issues that occur after the system has been up for extended periods, as it is in the production environment.
