I have been using it extensively, and for me it's fine as it is. Also, the title is just false. How did this get into HN frontpage, that's a good question.

That's the first thing I thought when I read the title. Hey we have already efficient systems for eliminating CO2 from the athmosphere: trees!. The joke tells itself.

It seems like we have not yet done the full circle, but we are close.

Well, did you suggest it to your boss? how did it go? bad organization is a two way resposability, except in the army.

Yeah I also left my website hosted on Google Cloud because costs popped from everywhere, and there is basically no built-in functionality to limit them. So I didn't really slept relaxed (I actually slept great, but I hope you get the point) knowing that a bug could cost me... who knows how much. Actually, as the website of OP says, for spending control you have budget notifications and with that you can disable the billing for all the project altogether through some API call or something, I don't remember exactly, that is all there is. But still it looks like this functionality is just not there.

Of course it can, everything can be art, specially something written with so much intimacy as software.

Just don't run code in the root of your modules except in the entry point(s) of your program. In the modules, only declare.
