Content Dad, What are clouds made of? - Linux Servers, mostly.

The classic "we're decentralized" sales pitch vs. reality check when AWS goes down. Blockchain bros and Web3 evangelists love preaching about decentralization until their "revolutionary" platforms crash because they're secretly running on the same centralized cloud infrastructure as everyone else. It's like claiming your car doesn't need gas while hiding a full tank under the hood. The irony is delicious - nothing exposes tech hypocrisy faster than an AWS outage revealing your single point of failure!

The universal escape hatch of every software architect in existence! Ask about microservices? "Depends." Monolith vs distributed? "Depends." Serverless or containers? You guessed it—"DEPENDS." This is basically the architectural equivalent of a doctor saying "take two aspirin and call me in the morning." The truth is, context is everything in architecture, and "it depends" is simultaneously the most frustrating and most correct answer to virtually any design question. The wise old architect with the pipe knows this ancient truth that juniors hate to hear!

The corporate dream of running AI on budget hardware is the tech equivalent of asking someone to build you a Ferrari with Lego parts and a rubber band. First they want AI to handle its own authentication (because security is just a suggestion, right?), then they want to run it on a $5 VPS that struggles to host a static HTML page. And the AI's response? Pure existential dread that perfectly captures what goes through my mind during requirements gathering meetings. Next they'll ask if it can run in a browser, offline, with no dependencies, while making coffee and filing their taxes.

That one engineer who's been watching too many YouTube tutorials and suddenly thinks they can reinvent Google's infrastructure during a 15-minute standup. The rest of us are just trying to fix our YAML indentation errors while this hero wants to build Kubernetes from scratch. Sure buddy, we'll get right on that after we finish untangling the mess from your last "revolutionary" Docker compose file that somehow mapped every port to localhost:3000.
