Aws Is Great

The joke here is multi-layered, like an onion made of pure irony. Internet Explorer, famously the slowest browser known to mankind, has a Twitter handle "@TheFastest" while reporting on an AWS outage. But the real punchline? The tweet is dated April 1st, 2019, has supposedly 94.8M retweets (more than any tweet in history), and Internet Explorer wouldn't even know about an outage until three years after it was fixed. It's like watching a tortoise report breaking news.

Computer programmers have come up with beautiful collab- orative change tracking systems (like git) that let you easily make changes to a huge base of code, track who changed what, submit and resolve conflicting versions of updates, etc. But when we pass a new bill that replaces or modifies an old law, it is always some 300 page document with pages of "Subsection F Paragraph 3 will be modified to read 'XYZ' Why not put the laws into a git repository and make it easy for bills to just modify the existing history to say what you want it to say? And why not have the transparency to see exactly what changes and WHO implemented that change? Want to slip some pork for your district into an unrelated bill?

Oh how the tables have turned! 😂 Remember 2020? Companies were practically THROWING money and training at anyone who could spell "HTML." Fast forward to 2024 and they want you to be a walking tech encyclopedia with 10 years experience in tools that existed for 5, security clearance higher than the president, and they'll generously offer you $22/hour for the privilege! The tech hiring pendulum swung so hard it broke off and flew into space! The best part? That job posting expired before they even finished typing their impossible wishlist!

The corporate ladder climb speedrun any%. Dude took a perfectly functional Java service that ran flawlessly for 5 years and nuked it with an unnecessary microservices rewrite in Go—just to pad the resume with "scope" and "complexity" for that sweet L5 to L6 promotion at Amazon. The result? A system that's slower, costs 2x more, and has memory leaks that wake people up at 2 AM. But hey, the 20-page design doc was strategic enough to fool management. The real galaxy brain move though? Getting promoted, then immediately transferring to a "chill Core Infra team" before the whole thing implodes. Now some poor new grad inherits a ticking time bomb for $550k TC while our protagonist is sipping coffee, off-call, watching the chaos unfold from a safe distance. Truly a masterclass in corporate self-preservation and passing the buck. Fun fact: This is basically the tech industry version of "I'm not stuck in here with you, you're stuck in here with me"—except the villain escapes before the final act.
