I am the CEO of a 3 person startup, and this piece has made me realize how critical it is to own your infrastructure if you truly want to disrupt and dominate the industry. I am making our engineers build our own data center at once, and am now hiring for Lead Data Center Engineers (15+ years AWS experience required).

A good one. People should realize that building your own DC is an art itself and very few companies can do it at the quality bar as AWS. HN does not take jokes btw. :)

They disrupted and dominated their industry while on AWS, and I'm sure it would have been cost prohibitive to do it while young and without customers.

Pretty sure that was a joke.
