> The AWS mentality is still stuck in 2005 when a t2.micro was a decent computer.

The T2 EC2 instance family got announced in 2014: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/startups/announcing-amazon-ec2-...

The first instance was the m1.small it's specs are marginally better than those of t2.micro, it's not been generally available since 2022 if memory serves.

Please nitpick better. Nothing is more embarrassing then being pedantic and wrong.

And t2.micro was not a decent computer at that time.
