I think this is a joke people missed. Surely scaling multi-dozen-users-at-the-same-time was obvious enough that people didn't start talk about scaling seriously, but that's what happened.

If you app has multi-dozen users, and needs to "scale" something is wrong.

Yeah, my joke didn't scale well. We did well with servers (sans cloud) and comolex apps before.. something changed in collective mindset in the meantime.
