Sure, money buys yachts and status gets you into fancy parties, but making a non-programmer's jaw drop by using basic bash commands? Priceless. And we don't even have the heart to tell them it's the digital equivalent of using a hammer.

So your fridge is running Noctua cooling fans? Guess your ice cubes compile faster than mine. That's what happens when your household appliances have better hardware than your development server. Next thing you know, your toaster will be running Kubernetes while your production environment is still on a Raspberry Pi from 2012.
