My Friends build Data Centers, AWS's friends don't?

My friends like to build data centers.  Some are building a lot.  Thanks to Amazon, there is a view that “Friends don’t let Friends build Data Centers."

 “Friends don’t let friends build data centers,” Infor CEO Charles Phillips said in his presentation during the keynote.

My friends like building data centers.  And many of the partners of AWS’s Direct Connect build data centers.  Building data centers is not bad if you know what you are doing.   I thinkI would say “Friends don’t let the clueless build data centers.”  Some people shouldn’t build data centers.  Leave data centers to the pros.
