Alright, gather 'round, you starry-eyed founders. What fresh hell is this? "Build Your Startup" they proclaim, as if this isn't a landing page from a trillion-dollar behemoth trying to siphon your seed capital before you even get a product out. This isn't a startup, it's a glorified sales funnel for AWS, thinly veiled as a benevolent elder statesman.
Let's not pretend "top startups like Airbnb and Zocdoc" are relevant to your ramen-eating existence. Those titans probably have entire teams negotiating custom enterprise contracts, not signing up for an "AWS Builder ID" like some kid trying to get free V-Bucks. It’s name-dropping at its most transparent, a sad attempt to lend credibility to an already established giant.
And the audacity to preach about "keeping costs low"? AWS, the cloud notorious for making founders cry tears of joy over initial credits, then tears of pure dread over the monthly bill.
