    Just because you saved millions on AWS spend doesn't mean finance will not lay you off as soon as they see fit.

      You can put that on your resume and talk about it in your interview, maybe that will increase your next salary (or reduce your chances of being hired)

    Unclear if they changed the article's title, but "How we saved millions on AWS" may be a more useful and informative HN title for passersby.
