John Sheehan @john-sheehan.com · 28/05/2025When I worked in dev tools in the 2010s the fear was always AWS launching a competitor. I don’t know of a single startup that went out of business because AWS decided to compete. 060

John Sheehan @john-sheehan.com · 26/12/2024This category has been a persistent thorn in my side since opening my shop 3 years ago and not carrying a Big 4 brand.
