... creating our own capability to make cloud computing infrastructure basically...? Yea that'd be kinda cool. Would piss Amazon off though, we might have our hands full at the moment. Drawing the scrutiny of another tech giant this early might be ... unwise.
Amazon is definitely not the only one doing cloud infrastructure. I really don't think we'd be pissing anyone off.
Probably, but it depends. Only a fool would ignore an easy opportunity to prevent the entry of a new competitor. It's not like we're some big company with real monetary power of our own. We're easy to strangle in about a million different ways, just more tech dweeb stuff that only internet losers should like. Or so it could be easily spun.
Lol as a tech dweeb / internet loser I'd like to see them try that argument. That's why we're here in the first place!
Yeah, us. But if we ever want to wrest any kind of market share from big tech, that won't be good enough anymore.
