This is just an inversion of culpability. We know that theres virtually no relationship in our Republic with popularity of an initiative and it's passing into law.
But don't people elect their representatives? oh of course!
If your issue is with policymakers, then it is with the people.
This is also very stupid because - essentially when the government is evil you become skeptical of your neighbors, not 538 people who really control your life.
The only thing this public dispute tells me is I should never do business with either organization. What is with childish adults dragging "drama" into the public spotlight? What is a "Code of Conduct".
I would have privately let them know we arent going to supply them anymore and wish them the best. That's it.
So it's only other people who can't criticize others in public, for you it's somehow not "DISGUSTING!".
In fact for you, you can even criticize others who haven't even done anything to you. You can do it as a pure 3rd party bystander. But no one else can do it even in response to direct attack.
You paying a nonzero cost for creating a negative externality is an improvement compared to the status quo, in the context of this economic philosophy of discouraging production of negative externalities by aligning economic incentives.
At my work we pay a boring, regional VPS host that is not fancy. In fact its maybe a few levels above "your 2000's web host, with a LAMP stack, a FTP login and a bad admin panel". Just a bit above that.
However, they ALWAYS pick up the phone on the 3rd ring with a capable, on call linux sysadmin with good general DB, services, networking, DNS, email knowledge.
Bonus point is that with such a simple stack you don't need to phone them often because the thing just works.
Most cloud outages are self-inflicted with the endless churn trying to reinvent things, not actual hardware failure. Just not touching the working system would boost their reliability and uptime, but then a lot of people would lose justification for their salaries so it can't happen.
One silly fun thing about PHP is php tags. So you can do notebooks like this for kinda free... if you want to execute code? just put it in <?php ?> blocks.
I always thought the relgious Agile was kind of kooky when it met the real world, but I really think kanban / theory of constraints is very good and real for the business world.
