Are we just making up language rules as we go?

Yes, throughout history, in fact.

And to answer the meme's question, it can have either definition based on the context of usage.

I'm an Indian by blood and an American by birth; let me tell ya:

Ain't nobody hatin' quite like family.

The <insertGroupCategoryHere>-war is a proxy for the only war that ever mattered: The Class War.

Is everyone in commercial software development finally saying, "Fuck it, we'll run the shit ourselves"?

I'm an infrastructure and devops noob here; take my words with a grain of salt.

I need GPU clusters with ECC VRAM for research and found it's cheaper to just have my own high-ish performance compute in my own office I paid for once than pay AWS/Azure/GCS/etc forever or at least everytime I want to train a custom DNN model. Sometimes I use Linode but it's for monitoring. But I can run shit at will and I have data sovereignty.

Has the paradigm shifted back to developing and serving things in-house now that big tech vendor-lock/tie-ins have so many dark patterns that scalability isn't cost-effective with them? Or is it just my own pipe dream?
