Also, for email sending I use smtp2go free tier - primarily because I use random emails on my own domains to see who's leaking, and I don't want to set them up separately proton-side.
In that setup, proton itself is kinda unnecessary - I keep that path mostly as an insurance, just in case of acatastrophic homelab failure.
> capacity to reason about it (during critical downtime) and communicate it
That's one of the things that's put into limelight in that talk.
I personally think that most of "Web Scale" software is inconsequential (inconsequential for its creators, not for users) - as there are no consequences for bugs and outages at all. A data breach -> slap on a wrist. Reputational damage because on an outage/data loss amidst general public? - almost impossible (clownstrike, anyone?)
The funny thing is that web scale software that's consequential is often in an ethically grey zone - but at least you won't be surrounded by colleagues who don't give a shit.
The question is where the "enough confidence" border lies - and in the worse case the only way to do some reliable investigatios would be printf debugging or its alikes.
With or without AI - doesn't matter. Only at that point you gain understanding of the limitations both of LLMs and of dynamic languages.
edit: Forgot about "Nightmare" difficulty - try enjoying dynamic languages and LLMs when your legacy codebase is earning tens of thousands $ per second.
"will never be awesome" is missing some quantifier about US-centricity.
