If I hired a carpenter, he did a bad job, and he starts to blame the toolmaker because they lobby the government and over-promised what that hammer could do, I'd still put the blame on the carpenter. It's his tools, I couldn't give less of a damn why he got them, I trust him to be a professional, and if he falls for some scam or over-promised hammers, that means he did a bad job.

Just like as a software developer, you cannot blame Amazon because your platform is down, if you chose to host all of your platform there. You made that choice, you stand for the consequences, pushing the blame on the ones who are providing you with the tooling is the action of someone weak who fail to realize their own responsibilities. Professionals take responsibility for every choice they make, not just the good ones.

Agree, and I wouldn't say anything like that either, which makes it a bit strange to include a reply to something no one in this comment thread seems to have said.
