It’s a trap 🪤

@nixCraft Whenever I see memes based on it I have to mention the original source - the very excellent Buttersafe comic 😃

@nixCraft One of my secret fantasies is watching somebody who has implemented their stack on AWS, and then wants to move to another provider. And all the engineers on your staff are contractors...
Go !
@nixCraft Fking agree, any free tier is a trap in IT. And if it's free, don't forget, YOU are the product 😆

@nixCraft Also...

"This site is free for me because advertisers pay all the costs? Sounds great. Sign me up!"

@nixCraft The Lure is meant for the prey

Alt4You: A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a simply drawn person looks at a Venus Fly Trap plant and says, "Why would a fly land on something like this?"

Panel 2: "Rats should be ashamed for falling in this trap" (mousetrap)

Panel 3: "Bears!! This is ridiculous" (bear trap with spiky jaws)

Panel 4: "This must be fun!" (AWS free tier)

The traps in the first three images are not in fact billing-related traps like the alt text says. They are traps for bugs/animals.

@nixCraft "yeah i can just cancel the subscription before the free trial runs out"

The original is better in a slightly darker way: https://www.buttersafe.com/2011/01/27/traps/

We're all in the obvious trap. It's called capitalism.
