This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I'm kind of confused why someone would try to pay for an ongoing cloud subscription by buying a $500 gift card.
Without reading the article, my guess would be a Christmas/birthday gift to them.
Maybe recruiter referral reward. They sometimes pay in gift cards.

That's the issue with all products and services being permissible only by service agreement.
You're always at the whims of the provider and as they start to implement more AI oversight the chances of a clerical error causing major disruptions in your workflow is a risk worth considering.

If this upsets the reader and reader's a dev, remember I'm talking about the other people not you =)
He also says that he has backups, so "lost" seems a little apocalyptic. Hard to feel too bad for someone who is that invested in a corporation though.
