I guess at some point most of us will have to yell at clouds. Whether that changes anything or not remains debatable.
I think the biggest challenge we have today is that building on SaaS and huge dependency charts is very attractive to somebody eager to get an idea off the ground. It has a typically low barrier to entry (as long as you have a PayPal account) and you don’t have to deal with “low level stuff”. Unfortunately it typically also comes with vendor lock in issues but when you realise that you are already way too far down the road.
The fun thing is, anybody with a little bit of guy and docker know how can have a better developer experience in hosting their web projects on a VM so maybe this is an issue of fundamentals?
