Jesus Amazon is a big enough company they should be doing their own hosting not using AWS.
They're big enough to be a utility and be nationalized!
And should be
Amazon is using their own hosting. AWS stands for Amazon Web Services. Or did I miss the joke?
Miss
I was confused too, but I'm still glad you didn't add the /s because that always kills the joke.
I don't always downvote posts that use /s, but I do always downvote posts that complain about someone not using it.
Sarcasm is ok but deadpan is where it's at.
This is the take. Let people communicate however they want, sarcasm indicator or not; it's the insisting that others follow the convention you prefer which I find actually bothersome
