It's really nowhere near as complicated as making distributed systems reliable. It's really quite simple: read a fucking book.

Well, actually read a lot of books. And write a lot of software. And read a lot of software. And do your goddamn job, engineer. Be honest about what you know, what you know you don't know, and what you urgently need to find out next.

There is no magic. Hard work is hard. If you don't like it get the fuck out of this profession and find a different one to ruin.

We all need to get a hell of a lot more hostile and unwelcoming towards these lazy assholes.
