I encountered AWS in 2006 or 2007 and remember thinking that it's crazy — why would anyone want to put their stuff in someone else's data center? But only a couple of years later, I was running a bunch of stuff on top of AWS.

Pretty much all the practitioners I favor in Software Architecture are deeply suspicious of any kind of general law in the field. Good software architecture is very context-specific, analyzing trade-offs that resolve differently across a wide range of environments.
