TL;DR someone didn't learn to plan capacity.

I don't like that enshittification of technology has created an entire profession around babying pretend servers - if the cloud lived up to the promise of being an operating system for a global server farm, capacity scaling would consist of a new computer being allocated in ~1ms, said computer downloading my 100MB binary in ~10ms and loading it into memory and jumping to the first instruction in ~0ms. And I'm being generous with the timings.You could literally spin up a server in the time it takes to process a request.

If I write a program and decide to start a new thread, I don't need a dedicated ThreadOps professional moralizing about how I should've configured my app in the yaml file to use 2 threads instead of 1.

I have long held the belief that the clowning around that happens in IT nowadays is the opposite of engineering.
