> The idea that compute is unlimited is a horrible myth that cloud companies have sold which has effects and externalities that will be seen as on par with the myth of unlimited fossil fuels.
Granted, all true, but my point was that for any one given software team at a mid-sized company with a team of a 50 engineers or so, CPU resources are effectively unlimited. Unless they write some N^3 algorithm, the fact is that it is almost always possible to write AWS a bigger check for more CPU to a pretty much inexhaustible extent from any one given customer's persepctive.
