learning cloud is not necessarily using cloud for all things.

cloud adds capability to any engineer.

if i’m on coffeeshop wifi with my low power laptop, and i need to do something intense like compile linux, i’m sol.

unless i know aws. then i can open a new terminal, spin up a massive spot instance for 19.27 minutes, get that done, then self destruct[1].

being able to test lambda to s3 io, or ec2 to s3 io, with the same ease one uses grep and sed, is for great good. also it’s fun.
