7 - industry has moved away from client-side, distributed compute in
8 favor of centralized server-side compute resources behind API
10 - entire businesses are built on a single Cloud Provider and are
11 fundamentally incapable of moving off that Cloud.
12 - they
/think/ in terms of that Provider. The Provider influences
13 all of their decisions.
14 - users control very little compute power
15 - personal computing hardware (consumer-grade) is limited in capability
16 - non-servicable architectures, planned obsolescence, closed firmware
17 - mainstream operating systems don't optimize for resource
18 efficiency - they maximize for the volume of telemetry data they
19 can collect and profit from
21 * Death of the Programmer 22 - The role of the programmer is changing
23 - programmers are no longer required to understand how computers
24 work to have a successful career
25 - Cloud Providers wrap all low-level details in their own
26 proprietary vocabulary and APIs
27 - To program on the cloud, you need to use the Cloud vocabulary
28 and are discouraged from thinking of computers as they actually
29 exist in the real world
30 - Cloud Providers influence college cirruculums, replacing compute
31 and systems theory with courses designed to teach you how to
32 configure Cloud Services.
