How to burn the most money with a single click in Azure
A few years ago my startup was killed by a AWS mistake that ran overnight. The irony: my AWS expert at the time had made exactly the same provisioning mistake at his previous job - so I figured he'd never make a $80k mistake again. It turns out - his mistake with my startup was even more impressive. More positively - he did help shell out with me to cover the cost & overnight we were out of money. The mistake shocked me so much, and I've since heard <i>so</i> many stories of similar mistakes. The event hit me so hard I went back in time to PHP and shared hosting. Not kidding.
