When a Giant Sells You a Ghosthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44050279In today’s tech-driven economy, high-performance computing systems are the beating heart of innovation — from life sciences to automotive AI. Yet behind the polished marketing campaigns of some major global suppliers, there lies a darker and more troubling reality.A small British innovation company recently found itself in an impossible position.They had entered into what appeared to be a promising deal with the UK subsidiary of a large US-based enterprise technology manufacturer — a household name.

Either I needed to setup a complex system from scratch every time with a static site generator, try to find a good-looking and not-so-broken theme, build a CI/CD pipeline and choose a hosting platform that will not bankrupt me if I make a small mistake.
