I just wasted 3 hours trying to get Google Cloud SQL to work. After digging through docs and support forums I couldn't set up IPv6 access to my sql instance.
This isn't the first time I've wasted tremendous time getting such a basic access feature to work. I went through a nearly parallel issue with Google Compute Engine. It took over a week to get the answers I needed to get a network access working for Google Compute Engine.
I have a problem and I admit it. : I know Google Cloud will eventually dominate. I can't help myself from trying to use the inevitable technological leader in the cloud wars, but damn give me back all the money and months I wasted learning these platforms. If I could just turn off my engineering supremacy OCD ... just get prototypes working on traditional boring crappy tech, I'd have way more streams of income by now and hate my tech life far less.
Speaking of money: There's still no clearcut way to cap monthly spend on Google Cloud. There's not even a "holy-sh*t-you-just-spent-$100-in-one-day" alert feature. And yes it took months to rectify one bill after I left GCE instance accidentally running ( but doing literally nothing) for months.
How do I give up my habit? How do I convince myself: "Just because it's theoretically the best infrastructure anywhere on the planet, doesn't mean I have to learn how to use it."
Completely f*cking useless error message below:
