Cloud Migration and Programming Language Trends

This chapter explores the challenges companies face when moving to the cloud, particularly through a 'lift and shift' strategy without necessary refactoring. It discusses the implications of using emerging programming languages like Rust and C++ in tech startups, emphasizing their relevance to AI and machine learning, as well as the hiring challenges associated with these languages. Personal anecdotes highlight both the complexities of learning these languages and the impact on a startup's acquisition value, alongside the role of AI tools in enhancing productivity.
