@gMoon @Mikal I will say, I feel like parts of that article come off as a little... whiny? Yes, decoupling from Amazon is difficult in the sense that AWS is a massive cloud service, esp in the US, and avoiding all the sites they host is a lot. Comparing that to "all my friends are on facebook :(" and "texting is hard" frankly seems a little ridiculous in comparison? Yes, megacorps have better infrastructure, leaving them means taking some extra steps, that's how we got here in the first place.
