| They should... put work into sacrificing revenue? |

| If you have a local “digital twin” of the service, it makes it much easier to develop against using AI. This would likely drive adoption. |

| ▲ | fabianlindfors 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Totally agree that AI coding makes this even more important. We are working on a coding agent-first cloud and a large part of that is ensuring everything runs locally so folks can let their coding agents define the infra and test it all |

| It's not clear that it would be a net-negative on the revenue. It could encourage more development and adoption and lead to being a net-positive for the revenue. |

| ▲ | hmartin 2 days ago | parent [-] | | It's a fair point but iff you neglect that the overwhelming revenue drivers for these services are large corps who are already locked-in.
Devx doesn't matter at all once you're there. The myopathy among us "online people" is assuming number of voices here and elsewhere correlate to revenue. It does not. | | |

| Without the infrastructure behind it to make it make sense, cloud platforms just seem like convoluted ways of storing data and launching applications/VMs to me. The only functional use of a tool like this to me would be to learn how to use AWS so that I can work for people who want me to use AWS. Would that not be to Amazon's benefit? |

| Why would an emulator sacrifice revenue? It's like saying minecraft destroys construction businesses |
