The existential crisis hits hard when junior devs finally grasp that their precious code is just a tiny speck in an endless Russian doll of virtualization. Their Java app isn't running on a "computer" – it's running on a Java Virtual Machine, which is running on a VM, which is running on a hypervisor, which is part of a Virtual Private Cloud... which is probably running in some AWS data center that might not even physically exist for all we know.
