> Cloud service providers aren't really optimizing for the same thing that the average website is optimizing for. (snip) GCP's UI? Yea it's pretty bad. GCP's terraform provider? It's really slick.

That's still incompetence. That counts as incompetence, too.

"This restaurant is filthy and full of bugs, but that's OK, because they're take-out only, so they're not optimizing for the same thing the average sit-down restaurant is. Sure, that place is disgusting, but the food in box still tasted pretty good..."




A better comparison:

"This restaurant only has one table and 1 chair with a broken leg and gum stuck to the seat but that's ok because they're take-out only"
