As a software guy, it’s not my job to optimize code for a vm that you can just like… you know, magically make more cores or storage for bro. It’s all on the could, you hardware guys are doomed.
I've seen a company legit waste $500k/month by just vertically scaling everything to the point where we were considering scaleups because we were hitting 60% CPU utilization on EC2 instances. People actually think this way.
In my experience it's because no one pushes back. If the SA just says yes, TLs and Managers just say yes, someone is willing to pay... it just happens.
