" summary

Argues that handing scaling to Amazon and Google shifts where product value and careers live, citing Mike Roberts' common reaction of what are we giving up and Deepak Singh's quip calling AWS Lambda modern-day Perl. Claims resistance comes from control bias, fear of lost enterprise value for SaaS/infrastructure startups, and engineers enjoying poking at leaky abstractions. Says serverless is not just functions or stateless glue but a platform-level tradeoff that actually works for many complex systems.
