*The competition they can't see is the abstraction layer that makes them irrelevant to the people actually building software. Every developer who ships via Vercel without knowing what region their Lambda runs in is a developer who will never care about AWS's 347 services. Every AI coding assistant that defaults to "deploy to Netlify" is training the next generation to treat cloud providers like plumbing.* AWS destiny: becoming the next Lumen • The Register

The inner solar system would vanish entirely inside its suffocating embrace.Light itself struggles to traverse this monster: a single photon would need over eight hours to crawl from one edge of its diameter to the other. By comparison, our Sun—already a heavyweight—shrinks to a pathetic pinpoint, a mere dust mote beside this cosmic titan.* @npub1jwur...yg33
