Containers, cloud, blockchain, AI – all the same old BS, says veteran Red Hatter

I think this veteran Red Hatter is confusing the marketing names for actual useful services and technology.

IE. He's complaining about the "cloud" and says if you need servers, you should buy and maintain servers yourself. It's honestly absurd. This kind of mentality is gate keeping in my opinion by IT professionals - if you don't know how do setup and maintain a server, you should pay me to do it for you instead of paying AWS. I'm sure this guy would tell my grand parents if you need to back up photos on the iPhone, they should setup a personal NAS at home.

I find it ironic that The Register is publishing this when their tech stack likely uses everything listed, except maybe crypto.

PS. Don't mistaken me for a crypto currency supporter. They always lump crypto together with AI to try to dismiss AI. I'm a crypto hater.

I don't agree about containers, they are a really handy tool to produce stable(-ish) deployments.

Blockchain is probably the best single tool to do what software was designed to do since invented as a separate industry - scam people out of their money.

The rest, true.
