After 10 years as an AWS customer and open-source contributor, they deleted my account and all data with zero warning. Here's how AWS's 'verification' process became a digital execution, and why you should never trust cloud providers with your only copy of anything.

      Sorry but this is bullshit. In no sane world is a 5-day warning a valid precursor to a irrevocable total wipe. People go on vacation. People get sick. This is an stupendously bad take.

      Yes this developer did a mistake in trusting AWS like this, but this is still an AWS fault.

      5 days including the weekend then wiping the account is utter bullshit. I think he should have had an off-site and for that I blame him, but this is a ridiculous take.
