AWS is ridiculously complicated. I had to study AWS to learn data analytics and the entry level test was overwhelming with just learning like 10 services.
The best way to learn of course is to sign up for an account and actually play. But, its really easy to spend $10k because you didn't set it up correctly.
That story is actually pretty common. People waking up to $500 bills because they left a server on and some hacker took it over. Or they activated a dozen services and didn't know how to shut them down.
I knew a guy who begged for honest feedback. Like kept complaining about how people would ghost him, and wasn't able to get a date or anything. So when he asked me directly, I pointed it all out.
And here's the thing: he didn't really do much after learning that. He didn't try to change anything for the better. He just took it in, got real defensive for a while then agreed and accepted that "this is who I am".
And maybe that's okay. But he seems dead set on attracting people who hate it.
Then all the Avocado toast jokes happened and tried it, and it was great!
Then I started making my own guacamole/eating the good shit in texmex/Mexican restaurants and realized I hated that nasty supermarket national brand guac.
As a metal gear fan, always was.
