In the 2000s, we’d remove the pool ladder in Sims 1 and watch the trap unfold. That’s exactly how I see startups burning through cloud credits today.
No monitoring. No exit plan.
Do not burn credits without a ladder. Try continuously optimize your cloud usage (sizing, architecture, choosing the right frameworks).
AI won’t kill your startup. Cloud bill might.
