I'm just going to sit here and eat my doughnut while the script I just complained about does my job for me.

Eng 1: Quoting: Algorithmically, we traverse propagated inputs, accumulating every propagated dependency’s propagated dependencies and adjusting them to account for the “shift in perspective” described by the current dependency’s platform offsets. This results is sort of a transitive closure of the dependency relation, with the offsets being approximately summed when two dependency links are combined. We also prune transitive dependencies whose combined offsets go out-of-bounds, which can be viewed as a filter over that transitive closure removing dependencies that are blatantly absurd.
We can define the process precisely with Natural Deduction using the inference rules. This probably seems a bit obtuse, but so is the bash code that actually implements it! They’re confusing in very different ways so… hopefully if something doesn’t make sense in one presentation, it will in the other! Got it?
Eng 2: I was like "right, right, yes, very good" until I got to this bit:
> but so is the bash code that actually implements it
Monsters!
Eng 1: I thought everybody wrote shell scripts when they were trying to prune blatantly absurd dependencies from their transitive closures?
Eng 2: It's the natural choice

Having just read that S3 is now strongly consistent I think the best example of eventual consistency has now got to be the amount of time it takes the Cloudformation developers to support new functions and services (measured in months)

Sooo much of what we do is just cloud barf. This is my new favourite phrase. "What do you do for a living?" "I'm a cloud barf generator"

Inchohate? Is that like inchoate but with a tiny hint of _hate_?
If so, then it is a *good* word, and I will use it myself.

I remain convinced Serverless should be called Containerless. Knock that hype cycle right into a cocked hat and get to the actual end-game.

Eng1: [2:05 AM] Fuck me. It's just taken me 6 goes to remember what syslog is called
Eng2: [2:06 AM] Yep. We need to run this and GTFO. AWS support have said: "hey I just talked to an expert, since you will be sending almost 300 request per second we don't currently foresee any limitation it could cause however we do recommend to implement a retry logic so as if request fails you can retry."
Expert has signed off on it. We're onto a winner
Eng1: [2:07 AM] Yeah you write retry logic for a distributed shell script run by a for loop at 2:07 am
it appears to be working but why only on one box?
