    Why the hell would you equate the expert of the field with a tech bro? You don’t understand the meme.

    If you want an explanation, current computer system, especially cloud systems, are so complex that even though yes, it’s all deterministic, when so many things are depending on each other, including external interference (networking issues, data syncing delays…).

    At some point you start wishing i was actually elves because I don’t fucking know why lambda’s boto get item got the version of the file half an hour before the last modification, even though the lambda was triggered by the file being updated, Carlos. I don’t fucking know, different AWS endpoints might have different sync states maybe and it’s not as reliably propagated as they tell us it is, what the fuck do I know about that. I’ve spent enough time in estigating this bullshit, relaunch it and pray the elves do the thing correctly this time, leave me alone.

      Because I am one of the experts. I’m not going to share exactly who I am, but I’ve been in IT for 30+ years. I’ve worked on everything from development, to infrastructure to hardware design for the Open Compute project and at major cloud companies as an architect. So no, it’s all magic elves if you understand what’s going on and I will never equate it with that.
