Now That's Truly Serverless

1 day ago 77.1K views 0 shares

Everyone's talking about "serverless" like it's magic, but nobody can explain what's actually happening under the hood. Meanwhile, your AWS bill is skyrocketing faster than crypto in 2017. The best part? Those same DevOps wizards who convinced you to go serverless are probably just as confused as you are, but they're too busy setting up Kubernetes clusters they don't need to admit it. Remember: "serverless" doesn't mean there are no servers—it just means you're paying someone else a fortune to hide them from you.

When Tech Jargon Ruins Your Dating Life

When worlds collide! Tech person sets up friend with data scientist who mentions working in a "warehouse" - but not the kind with forklifts and cardboard boxes. The fashion industry friend immediately dismisses him thinking he's stacking pallets for minimum wage, only to find out he's actually crunching numbers and building models (the data kind, not the runway kind). The perfect illustration of how technical jargon gets completely lost in translation. Guess she was too busy looking for dollar signs to understand that data scientists actually make bank. Her shallow response is basically every tech worker's nightmare dating scenario condensed into one painful screenshot.

Everything Is Just An App Now

Remember when we had distinct, meaningful names for different software components? Now everything's just an "app" – because why bother with precision when we can dumb it all down! The marketing department won that battle years ago, and now we're stuck in this linguistic wasteland where your critical enterprise daemon and that stupid bird-flinging game on your phone share the same technical classification. Progress, folks! Next up: we'll just call all code "stuff that makes computer go brrr."

Server Go Brrr Behind The Serverless Curtain

The greatest marketing trick the cloud ever pulled was convincing developers that servers don't exist. Turns out "serverless" is just someone else's server with a fancy API and a premium price tag. It's like ordering food delivery and pretending your kitchen doesn't exist because you didn't cook. The shocked cat face is every developer the moment they realize they've been bamboozled by buzzwords. Next they'll try selling us "codeless programming" that's just code hidden behind a drag-and-drop interface.

My Clients Don't Code

The classic dad-meets-boyfriend scenario gets a programming twist. When asked what he uses "on the client," this smooth operator decides to flex with "I'm a vibe coder, and my clients don't code" – possibly the worst answer in the history of developer pickup lines. It's that special blend of buzzword nonsense and zero technical substance that makes every senior developer's soul leave their body. The only appropriate response? "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE." And honestly, fair enough. Anyone who unironically calls themselves a "vibe coder" deserves to be escorted off the premises immediately.

The Algorithm Is Just Bob's Caffeine-Fueled Code

Let's be honest, "algorithm" is just a fancy word we use to sound smart in meetings. What we're really talking about is that spaghetti code Dave wrote at 2am after his sixth energy drink. Next time your product manager complains about "the algorithm" showing users the wrong content, just say "Oh, you mean that if-else nightmare Brad cobbled together during sprint planning while simultaneously attending three other Zoom calls?" Much more accurate.

Ascii Stupid Question, Get A Stupid Ansi

The evolution of tech vocabulary is brutal! Back in the day, we had precise terminology like "application," "program," and "operating system." Now? Everything's just an "app." Need to compile code? There's an app for that. Running a critical system daemon? Just another app, bro. Even your meticulously crafted shell scripts? Yep, apps. It's like watching your carefully organized toolbox get dumped into a single drawer labeled "stuff that does things." The smug face in the corner is every marketing department that successfully convinced us precision is overrated. Who needs technical accuracy when you can have simplicity?

Tech Acronym Conspiracy Revealed

The tech industry's secret decoder ring has been revealed! Someone finally explained why all our tech acronyms are suspiciously connected to India. GPT isn't some fancy language model—it's just a Gujarati with exceptional typing skills. And here I was thinking AI stood for "Artificial Intelligence" when it's actually just outsourcing with extra steps. Next they'll tell us that DNS actually stands for "Delhi Network Support" and HTTP is "Help Ticket from Tamil Pradesh."

The dictionary definition we all secretly wish was printed in Webster's. After 15 years in the trenches, I can confirm this is exactly what happens in every client meeting: Client: "We need a simple website." Me: *builds website* Client: "Why can't it also predict stock market trends and make coffee?" The "wizard/magician" reference is spot on. I've literally been asked if I can "just hack" into systems before. No Karen, that's called a felony, not a feature request.

Magic Thinking Silicon Rocks

What semiconductor engineers tell non-technical people vs what they actually do. The meme brilliantly satirizes how we mystify technology to outsiders! The elaborate fantasy narrative about "magical stones" (silicon chips) that need to be mined, enchanted, and controlled by "trained warlocks" (engineers) is just... making microprocessors that power your phone so you can watch cat videos. Next time someone asks what I do, I'm absolutely explaining how I "inscribe microscopic arcane sigils" instead of "design logic gates." Much more impressive!

The evolution of developer confidence in three simple steps: 1. Junior dev: "I don't know what's happening" *frantically Googles error* 2. Mid-level dev: "I don't know but I'll figure it out" *opens Stack Overflow with determination* 3. Senior dev: "It's a known issue" *closes ticket without explanation* The real senior dev superpower isn't knowing everything—it's knowing how to make your ignorance sound like industry wisdom. Bonus points if you say it with enough confidence that the client thinks it's part of the roadmap!

Software Terminology: It's All Just Apps Now

Oh. My. GOD. Remember when we actually had DIFFERENT WORDS for things?! The absolute HORROR of today's tech world where literally EVERYTHING is just an "app" now! 🙄 We've gone from a rich vocabulary of technical terms like "operating system," "daemon," and "compiler" to just... "app." THAT'S IT. That's all we get! The entire computing universe has been reduced to a single three-letter word while some turtleneck-wearing executive laughs maniacally at how they've destroyed our linguistic diversity! Next thing you know, we'll just grunt and point at screens. Why use many word when few word do trick?
