It’s a true difference of kind with Google though. Yes they are annoying, but other providers try much harder to have customer service, planned deprecation.
Google flagrantly, with absolutely the “fuuuck you” vibe Yegge writes about, does not care. It fundamentally doesn’t support you. It promises X, delivers incompatible Y, deprecates Y for Z, doesn’t document anything along the way, has no useful support docs, crams upselling ads into all its docs, it’s bonkers.
AWS can be hard to use and confusing. That’s just not the same thing. Poor ergonomics I can forgive, especially if there’s docs and support.
