In a profession which depends on knowing the meanings of words and symbols and using them exactly correctly, naming a software deployment model as a thing that it is not is fundamentally wrong.
Why is it wrong? Because everything depends on you having a model in your head of how the universe works. When you persistently misname something in a way contrary to reality, it becomes part of your model. "It's serverless, therefore I don't have to think about servers in any way."
From a user's point of view, everything is magic. That doesn't justify calling software magic.
- sl1ck731 8y agoDoes Docker or Centos or Beanstalk or Kibana mean anything? No, they're just symbols. It's just a name and you have to know what it means. Everything in tech has some stupid name. You're not missing any part of using serverless by not caring about servers. You have platform constraints to minimize.
