The bell curve of architecture wisdom strikes again! On the left, we have the blissfully ignorant junior dev who's happy with a monolith because they don't know any better. In the middle, the insufferable mid-level architect screaming about microservices like they've discovered fire. And on the right, the battle-scarred senior who's been through enough distributed system nightmares to circle back to "just use a damn monolith."

While GPT and Claude are having their epic AI showdown with fancy marketing and billion-dollar budgets, kernel developers are just sitting there like a confused cat in the snow wondering what all the fuss is about. They've been quietly building the actual foundations that make computers work for decades without the spotlight. It's like watching two celebrities fight over who has the best makeup while the person who built the entire stage is just... standing there... in the cold... questioning their life choices. 😂
