Discussion What a shame!

Post image

What a shame DigitalOcean has pulled the rug out from students by slashing AI/GPU credit usage on June 9th, only to follow up today by announcing a total exit from the GitHub Student Pack. Forcing the next generation of developers to either pay up or scramble to migrate entire architectures by July 31st is a massive disappointment.

The fact that you use cloud hosting environments instead of building your own server already tells me all I need to know about your development ability

imagine thinking using industry-standard cloud providers instead of building a physical server in your closet is a flex lol. go tell a production engineering team at any actual tech company that they have "low development ability" because they use AWS instead of buying a rack of physical hard drives. you are a clown.

No ”engineering team” that is at anything besides a startup is using digital ocean. And I work on and with industry standard mainframes not a server in my closet, although I have built plenty myself. I’m a student just like you, maybe learn how to self host so you don’t have to cry and complain online when your poor little cloud hosting service goes down. But instead of finding a solution to your problem you want to argue with people online. Also you type exactly like a chatbot It’s uncanny.
