And someone in that data center would run around and you would think, oh, man, the computer is so sophisticated. No, that's fucking just George. And George is sprinting with your damn CPU over to that box and he's pulling it out. You just don't know George. George lives behind an API.

There's some of that. And that's why I think I would have, I mean, that's why I was a cloud believer actually for many years. I was very passionate. Like this is the way the future is going to work. We just need to get over this hump. Then it's going to get easier and cheaper. And it never fucking did. Never fucking did. That's why I'm still mad.

I tried for more than half a decade to find cheaper and to find easier. The only thing I ever consistently found was faster. And I mean faster in terms of procurement. It is still amazing. I will grant that with one API call, you can spin up like a thousand servers. It's going to cost you probably a house and a condo, but you can do it. That's pretty fucking cool.

You can't do that by going to Dell.com and ordering a bunch of PowerEdges, right? Like that's going to take like a week and a half, at least maybe two before they arrive and before they're racked. So that was always there. But to me, it was always about the three things. It was supposed to be cheaper. It was supposed to be easier. It was supposed to be faster.

And it's only really the speed of procurement that I saw at our business. Again, as we've talked about, there's different considerations and different analysis you've got to make on your own business. But I was just so disappointed. That the promised land never seemed to arrive.

That when I look at setting up a new AWS installation, when I read through the, like, hey, get started with AWS 101, I went, like, this shit is off the scale complicated. Just even remembering, like, how I do the IAM user management configuration in the cloud, I'm like, I feel like I have to go back to school to study again. Yeah.

Some of it's just different things and you learn different things and you could say Linux is also complicated. Okay, yes, but also no. Like there are different scales of complexity and I felt or I feel like the cloud in many ways did not held up its end of the bargain. That it promised us simpler and we didn't get it.

All right, I got a question and this is kind of moving off of all the cloud stuff. You said earlier that the Apple stuff, made you mad enough, you considered hanging it up, retiring. I think in my generation, we're kind of the generation right below yours that looked up to you. Are you calling me old? No, no, no. You might not even be that much older than us.

I guess I've always wondered, like someone like you, you get to that level of success or whatever. You could not do this anymore, but you choose to. And I wonder, like, do you have this idea in your head of what it would take for you to kind of stop programming? Yes.

If Matt ever decides to introduce static typing into Ruby, I'm out. So that's one. The other one would be if somehow browsers would only accept TypeScript and not JavaScript anymore, I'm out. Interesting. No, seriously. As long as I'm still having fun and I feel like I have my independence, that's really the two factors I gauge things on. I'm having a tremendous amount of fun.
