First it was "dumb terminals".
Then "diskless workstations".
Then "network computers".
Now it's "cloud PCs".
Seems like every 10-15 years the industry tries to push the idea of being utterly dependent on a remote server, and everyone hates the idea and it dies.

@thedaemon but.. but... You can develop locally with k8s!!! It takes 10 minutes to update the cluster and breaks all the time!! But it's great!!! @stefano
I can honestly say I know zero about kuerbernets or whatever TF it's called and I refuse to learn about it. #GetOffMyLawn

OMG was reminded that a lot of y’all have never seen the OG Alien, Star Wars, Blade Runner or Close Encounters on the big screen and i’ve suddenly felt more than ancient. i feel pre-historic.

some nordic dude has done a remix of Astor Piazzola’s VERANO PORTEÑO and am feeling a way. that piece is perfection; why sully it with your EDM wankings 😠😡😒
here’s my preferred version, because it was recorded in one afternoon, at the Central Park bandshell and i was there, mesmerized by the whole performance.

There's a lot talk about "ZeroDisk" infrastructure backed by S3. The pitch is "move your data from locally attached NVMe storage to S3 and your applications will scale easier and be more performant!"
Maybe I'm getting too old for this shit, but I swear to dog this is the 4th such cycle in my career:
1. NFS
2. iSCSI / Fibrechannel
3. Hadoop / HDFS
4. ZeroDisk with S3
Am I the only one that's like: "wait, move TBs of data to S3 from NVMe to increase performance? Are you high?"
It doesn't work, so you scale up. Now you're back to local NVMe "cache disks" running instances as expensive as the locally attached NVMe instances when you add those costs to your S3 bill. The performance is worse because of course it is.
It always comes back to the two hard problems in computer science: naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors. 😂
Trying to find accurate information about anything these days is nearly impossible. People think they're witty saying, "Let me Google that for you" but the search returns are just enshitified garbage. Researching in books took time but at least the results were routinely reliable. #GetOffMyLawn
