Herding servers is "meh". I don't care who does it.

I am legitimately excited by new divide & conquer strategies and meshes. (And some other stuff.)

My problem with "cloud" is the negative impact on "architecture" caused by the resurrection of legacy "services" like message queues. It feels like the 90s all over again. Data feeds, ETL, storage, batches, RPCs, omg just kill me.

At my last gig, one of the youngsters asked me why everything was so weird, hard to manage. I told her "Org is stuck with mainframe worldview. We're moving the data and we should be moving the code." Light bulbs.

This is exactly what's happening. People are building utter nonsense software gluing bits of total junk junk together at considerable cost.
