I think the general vibe is more of a "let's learn a small lesson now than a severe one long term".

I'm an eu freelancer, most of my clients are quitting US SaaS and cloud offerings, albeit slowly.

So story time. About 8 years ago, most of corporate America tried to do this. It was called the ad-pocalypse. They came crawling back to SV in less than 2 months. Turns out, the correct response to an organized (politically based) pressure campaign is to tell them to pound sand.

When your customers see the dev bill (what it costs to make software that actually works and doesn't get its secrets stolen), they will do the same. But not after some LLM based disasters cause some chaos. Should make your life more interesting, no?

When orange man started to make up tarifs I figured it's easier to just quit any dependency I had to the US than to keep with with that bullshit. Took half a day and my infrastructure is more stable than it ever was.

That time is over tho. Hosting, Protection and co is often cheaper, more reliable and less influenced by random orange decisions for a while now. Not to mention actually existing privacy and customer protection laws.
