## Quote — verbatim

> Using Amazon back then was like no way in hell — if you use Amazon you get fired. Now if you do not use Amazon you get fired, I suppose. You're seeing similar patterns with Akash. Not too many people know about Akash, but it's one of those things that takes time for technologies to really show their power.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Recalling that Kaiser Permanente banned S3 when he built their first internal cloud in 2008; frames Akash as following the same skepticism-to-default adoption arc as AWS.
