I too was excited about the idea originally but then started realizing that they will have an increasingly untenable service area to try and maintain and mimic and it was just never going to work out.

Yeah I remember looking at it when I started a job that was all in on AWS and quickly realised that it would be much better to just stick with real AWS and minimise my dependence on niche services.

It does seem like LLMs might make that a real proposition; of course, after these commercial enterprises steal copyright, copyleft and open source code, and the tooling gets good enough to download their cars, a new legion of DMCA lawyers and lobbies will be unleashed.

Prep yourself though for that napster bloom, it'll be here shortly.
