Your Data Is Older Than Your Interns
The classic parental advice "turn it off and let it rest" collides spectacularly with cloud computing reality! While moms everywhere preach the gospel of powering down devices, AWS S3 servers have been running continuously since the early 2000s—becoming digital eldritch horrors that refuse to die. Fun fact: AWS S3 was officially launched in 2006, but the meme exaggerates to emphasize how these servers feel ancient in tech years. They've been silently storing your cat pictures, failed startup data, and that one project you swore you'd finish "next weekend" for what feels like digital eternity. That skeleton isn't just dead—it's transcended death to become one with the server rack. Restarting? That's for mortals with local machines, not for the immortal data gods of the cloud!

Oh look, it's the miracle of modern IT support! While normal humans with ChatGPT are diligently writing things down or having professional meetings, the random IT guy at 3am is out in the digital cotton fields, violently beating the servers with a stick while his colleagues bend over in submission. This is the untold reality of system administration - when everything crashes at ungodly hours, there's no elegant solution. Just three sleep-deprived techs in a field of crashed servers, one wielding the sacred Stick of Rebooting while the others present their backends to the gods of uptime. And they say programming is all about elegant algorithms and clean code. Ha! Sometimes it's just percussive maintenance and prayer.
