This is one of the most refreshingly honest takes on cloud computing I’ve read in a while. The nuanced distinction between actual benefits vs. perceived convenience really hits home—especially the point that many businesses are outsourcing complexity without realizing they’re trading one kind of complexity for another (often more opaque). Also appreciate the emphasis on the cloud being someone else’s computer and problem—until it's suddenly your problem. Definitely bookmarking this to share with anyone romanticizing a full cloud migration without a clear cost-benefit analysis.
