ChatGTP is... not smart.
Cancelled my monthly subscription. As it turns out, the product seems to suck ass. In terms of LLMs, I chose poorly. If I want to hear nonsensical frontier jibberish, I just chat with the SO. Saves me $20+

AT&T Wireless down
Sunflares can target 5G connections, but not LTE? My older ATT LTE phones have 0 probs. All newer 5G iPhones are out. Maybe I'm just dumb.

The Cloud Engineering Thread of Dominance
it might be a sign of their overall architecture. that's a possibility. but IMHO, it's a definite sign of over-specialization within their org. in the "old days", high cost and avoiding unnecessary spend was just something you did. i mean, part of management was to ensure cost optimization for the business. with cloud, you have devOps and finOps--which means you spend lots of $$$$ on people terraforming all day with the pseudo bean counter oversight to notify on cost over runs. i think that's really unnecessary but it makes the business "feel" like they're doing something to address high cloud costs. and honestly, devops and finops can and will be owned by AI in the next few years. companies with over-specialization tend to over-hire. this results in layoffs--and i think we're seeing that process take place right now.

The Cloud Engineering Thread of Dominance
true, an architect should know but it's not that simple. you have to factor in project deadlines, project team skill levels, technical debt, compliance/legal, data pipelines and potential migrations, multi-cloud dependencies, business ROI and many other things. throw everything into the mix and you end up with "it depends"-type compromises. the run-time nature and client traffic for legacy/new solutions will also change your architecture. lift and shift caused many headaches. cloud newbs simply migrated on-prem apps to the cloud without full, well-thought out assessments. there's not enough talent out there to make the hard decisions and accept accountability. that's why high-level FTE's shift this work to consultants : )

The Cloud Engineering Thread of Dominance
Yup. Azure and GCP feasting on AWS market share. It was bound to happen. I think it will be a race to the bottom---public cloud commoditization. I see increased number of hybrid cloud projects. Cloud repatriation for companies burned with high costs due to lack of cloud migration planning, but whatever. The work is there and will be with us for a long time.
