They Lied To Me About The World Wide Web

Even billionaires aren't immune to the classic cloud computing blunder. Somewhere in AWS headquarters, a monitoring alert is screaming while Bezos' net worth plummets by the millisecond. The true cost of forgetting to terraform destroy your test environment. This is why DevOps engineers wake up in cold sweats at 3am wondering "did I turn everything off?"

BEHOLD! The terrifying tower of tech that keeps our digital world from imploding! 💀 Our entire civilization balances on this RIDICULOUS Jenga tower of services - Cloudflare, some random AWS region you picked because it was 0.001% cheaper, that Azure zone nobody remembers configuring, and THE THINNEST POSSIBLE STICK of an open-source project maintained by ONE SLEEP-DEPRIVED DEVELOPER who hasn't seen sunlight since 2014! We're literally one npm update away from digital apocalypse! Just WAITING for that one critical piece to get pulled and watch the ENTIRE STACK come crashing down while we frantically Google "how to rollback production" between sobs! 🙃

The SRE just found the ultimate money hack. AWS is basically a financial black hole where your cloud budget goes to die. Launch a few over-provisioned instances, forget about that auto-scaling group for a weekend, or accidentally deploy to all regions simultaneously, and boom—you've burned through $100M faster than you can say "terraform destroy." The genie adding a fourth rule is just acknowledging the universal truth that AWS billing is basically legalized theft with a nice dashboard.

Every developer's worst nightmare: forgetting to terminate that EC2 instance you spun up "just for testing." You think you're being smart using cloud infrastructure, then AWS sends you a bill that looks like a phone number from a different country. The beauty of cloud computing is you only pay for what you use. The horror of cloud computing is you pay for everything you use—including that t2.micro instance that's been idling for 6 months straight because you forgot it existed. Pro tip: Set up billing alerts. Your bank account will thank you. Or better yet, use the free tier and actually read what "free" means before you accidentally provision a fleet of GPU instances.
