I think this is a genius growth play for Airbnb. Make it easier for _other_ companies to operate in a similar way so that _their_ employees can travel and live in an... Airbnb! Next, they should lobby to get US and EU to make short-term "tourism + wfh" visas more accessible so that this becomes even more popular. I think everyone wins here.
Curious to know why you think so?
Agreed, teams should invest resources in architecting their systems in a way that can withstand broken dependencies. How does AWS teams account for "core" dependencies (e.g. auth) that may not have alternatives?
If I may, do look into building your own brand either by starting a newsletter or a freelancing writing practice -- you're clearly great at it!
For those on the fence, writing is a wonderful hobby that also has some practical applications -- give it a try!
E.g. a toddler may find it easier to kick around a ball on a lawn vs. a kid kicking it around on a soccer field with boundaries, goal posts, and rules. To extend the analogy, everyone thinks the toddler is cute and doing a great job, but only the kid's parents think she's playing well.
