Why?

28 pounds = 12.7kg, for those wondering.

If your individuality is all tied up in your physical appearance, try to develop your mind a bit.

Kind of condescending, no? Also, they're kids. Teenagers especially are all about their phsyical appearance.... and their minds are developing.

Agreed, but other cloud providers exist and it would be good if there was stronger competition in this space. But going back to self hosting is a huge step back and I think if a CTO said they were going to move from the cloud back to a self hosted solution, pretty much everyone would hate it.

What's he done to deserve the booing? I don't get it

Bit of an over-reaction to one incident. I'd be willing to bet the uptime, reliability and scalability of AWS is significantly better than what the vast majority of in-house solutions could do. It's absolutely not worth going back.

Millions of customers using AWS also weren't affected - the company I work for certainly wasn't, although some of our tools like Jira were.

Technology has been replacing manual labour for a long time, this is hardly surprising. Some jobs will be created though as the robots need monitoring and maintenance.

Why would they have to come in at 7am?

What does this even mean?

Queuing apparently. Which I really don't understand wtf everyone else is doing to wait their turn. Well I guess except Japan.

Also weird from my UK point of view: it's fucking freezing out them I'm not opening the windows. I do get that it's nice to have fresh air and you can always put the window in the vent position, but even when it's really cold you can feel it.
