      I think he has a point about inefficient dev practices and an excessive amount of labor going to advertising, but yeah I don’t think he’s exactly a devops guy for distributed systems lmao

          I’ve really enjoyed writing stuff in Elixir because a lot of the time you can do that whole “boot a tiny MVP out the door” thing and ignore scaling, but refactoring to a different more scalable architecture pattern is relatively simple or can be done nearly for free because of the Erlang VM. You don’t get stuck in the situation of having to rewrite in an entirely different framework because the one you chose to get up and running quickly doesn’t scale well.

      STOP SCALING UP

      Software are not supposed to scale

      YEARS of scaling yet NO real world use found for scaling more than YOUR FAMILY

      Wanted to scale more anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "EVERYONE HAVING THEIR OWN SERVERS"

      Yes, please give me 5 Kubernetes Docker Container Pods.
      Please replicate my database cluster.

      Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

      docker swarm init --advertise-addr 192.168.99.100
      docker swarm join --token blablablablablab 192.168.99.100:2377
      docker service create --replicas 1 --name helloworld alpine whoami
      

      Hello I would like to create 10 new VMs with the exact same configuration only for 10 minutes please

      They have played us for absolute fools!
