I haven’t worked at a FAANG or any other company even close to that level of scale, so you can take me with half a grain of salt too.

But what you said is absolutely true. It’s also something you will very much experience once you start working professionally.

I’m in no position to give you advice, and I think I might be giving advice to myself...just don’t let it get to you.

I have worked at FAANGs before.

I am in firm agreement. I think that far too many people are trying to solve the problems that they wish that they had, rather than making it easy to solve the ones that they do have. Going to something like Kubernetes when there is no particular reason for it is a good example of that trend.

When you really need distributed, there is no substitute. But far more think that they need it than do.
