this will mirror what happened in the past.

if i’m not mistaken, in the past, people had limited time on “the mainframe”. so eventually they brought in what would be the equivalence of a local model… small computers that could do smaller tasks locally so they didn’t have to keep shelling out money to the mainframe gods and be handcuffed for usable time.

i could absolutely be mistaken that this is how it worked, it was before my time. but this is how people explain it worked for them.

i don’t think most work gives a shit about soa. smaller repeatable tasks can absolutely be run just fine on smaller local models. sure, we’ll upgrade models occasionally just like we went from suitcase sized laptops to whatever we use today.

this idea the hypedorks are pushing that soa is the only way is hilarious. hobbyists spend stupid money on classic cars, tools for woodworking, or whatever. spending money to do a hobby at home has never stopped wonks and their hobbies and businesses will do the same, spend to run models locally.

the sooner the hypeTrash does what hype always does, fades to irrelevance, the sooner we can get back to work.
