I disagree with most of the comments here.

Right now, you can build much much quicker and with a less skilled team using serverless than traditional servers. This is very very important.

Serverless is not static and stuck in time, it's going to change and become cheaper over time as competition increases. Pretty soon everyone except already built products and large businesses will be using serverlesss architecture. The barriers to entry of building a website will be so low, you would be an idiot not to use serverless.

So I believe for the most part, I have been following this advice and I'm not sure if it has been optimal for achieving my goal. I'm not debating, I quite literally don't know. I'm current attending university.

The issue is, I aspire to start my own company, and eventually build a billion dollar company. That is my life's ambition and I will do anything to make it happen. The issue is, the vast majority of people Ive met in university just want to work for Google or Facebook, and don't have any other aspirations outside that.

I purposefully push people away and don't listen to advice because I don't think somebody whose entire purpose in life is to work at Google is somebody I want to be close friends with. I'll be nice to them, but not super close. It really stings because I haven't really made any close friends here and have a hard time fitting in. That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make but I'm not sure it's the optimal path to my goal.

Maybe the optimal path is becoming close friends with these people even though your goals aren't aligned?

Am I going about life wrong?
