Planes have ILS.
And presumably lots of other expensive acronyms that I don’t care about, because I’ll never own a plane 🤣
Think the acronyms are bad now? Wait until your plane is in the cloud!
"Plane pod bay doors open unexpectedly! Engaging emergency AWS FaaS! AWS unavailable! Engaging GCP FaaS! GCP unavailable! Local CDN AZ cannot be found! No MSP available! Engaging SRE! Blaming DNS!"
Pilot: "We haven't even taken off yet! Also, I told you to open the doors, you dumb AI!"
"Good catch! Would you like me to continue blaming DNS?"
I mean that’s essential when your HAL malfunctions right? ;-)
I have the upmost respect for pilots… I don’t know that many personally… although one flying lesson comes acutely to mind:
I was in the back of a small plane, not even sure there was a seat… though I believe there was a lap belt. My old boss was in the passenger seat, his friend was giving the lesson, the GPS was blaring “Altitude, altitude, altitude!” every 30 seconds…
Took all my self control to concentrate on not crapping my pants :-) But still an amazing experience. Glad I went!
You make a wonderfully narrative point about the necessity of all those acronyms. I’m curious what was in your pods?
Loads of containers.
Then why are you trying to have a technical discussion on this matter?
I would have called it a sarcastic discussion… I make an ass of myself for the amusement of the “class”. People laugh, people cry, a good time is had by all.
I do appreciate the achievement here, sounds very cool and I’m looking forward to learning more. Seems like I need to learn a lot more acronyms first though ;-)
Hey, it's the drunk guy at the party who thinks that everybody thinks he's hilarious!
Bitch, fuck off.
Okay - you're cut off buddy.
Oh nooooooo… how will I live???? 🥺
