When The Cloud Has Actual Clouds

Content digital VAX 11/780 The Ticketmaster system is a hodge-podge of C and assembler and runs on ancient VMS hardware. The people who developed and maintained it are long since dead and/or retired. It has proven impossible to replace because nothing has been found that can handle thousands of simultaneous purchases as efficiently. The server room that houses the VMS machines has a room where a goat is left every two weeks. The next day, the goat is gone.

That awkward moment when your "redundant" multi-cloud strategy implodes because you put all your eggs in the Azure basket too. Turns out having multiple points of failure isn't quite the same as having no single point of failure. Those 3 AM architecture meetings where everyone nodded along to "cloud diversity" suddenly feel like a cruel joke when you're frantically checking status pages while your CEO texts "is it just us?" Pro tip: Real redundancy means different technologies, not just different logos on your infrastructure diagram.

The modern developer's version control system: ChatGPT. Sure, we've evolved from USB sticks to Google Drive, but some of us have ascended to a higher plane of chaotic development—keeping our precious code snippets in chat history with an AI. Nothing says "senior developer with impeccable practices" quite like frantically scrolling through your conversation history at 2 PM during a production outage trying to find that one clever function you wrote last month. Git who? Never heard of her.

The eternal tech industry ouroboros, perfectly captured. Hard times breed manufacturing folks who boost GDP, which spawns SaaS bros with subscription models for everything including your toaster, which inevitably tanks the economy again. Just the universe's way of telling us we'll eventually pay $14.99/month to use our own refrigerators. The circle of software life.
