Ah, the classic cloud cost nightmare. Nothing quite matches the existential dread of forgetting to set spending limits on Azure and discovering your monthly bill has more digits than your phone number.
The rope reference is just the cherry on top of this financial disaster sundae. It's the cloud computing equivalent of leaving the water running for a month while on vacation. Except instead of flooding your house, you've flooded your company's entire quarterly budget.
Pro tip: Set. Those. Limits. Or prepare to explain to your boss why the dev environment for your pet project cost more than the CEO's salary.
