Ugh, of all the jargon the dev world has come up with serverless is the worst - if it runs on another computer it is not server less.

- markus2012 10y agoI think it's an inside joke: 2 people bet each other a dollar they could take a fundamentally simple concept and wax poetic insanity around it until the text was so insane no one could actually read through it - so people just shrug, wash the virtual slime off and move on. Their will power so drained by reading the BS they can't even be bothered to complain. Then comes the fake accounts to gush how 'serverless' and 'function-as-a-service' are completely new and different and awesomer bra. The next bet will probably be "mathematicsless": how we solve collision detection without math - and you should too!
- jerkstate 10y agoIt's not quite as bad as Salesforce's "No Software" campaign. I wonder when Salesforce is going to go serverless so we can run no-software on our not-servers.
- CaptSpify 10y agoAnd this is why we have so many crappy blog posts and comments trying to define serverless. People are trying to define a term that fundamentally is incorrect about what it's trying to describe.
