> Building a distributed system isn't hard per-se. Well, we just have some ugly proofs that building a proper distributed system is impossible, leading to many trade-offs that trigger one or the other customer at times... There aren't that many areas in computer science which are as difficult as building reliable scalable distributed systems.
