I currently develop applications which are used on machines with very spotty connections and speeds which are still calculated in Baud. We have to hand-write compression protocols to optimize for our use. Any updates/installs over network are out of the question. It's a great lesson in the importance of edge computing, but it also provides some harsh trusth about the current way we produce software. We cannot afford to deliver a spotty product. To get new updates out to all parties takes a prohibitively long time. This is hard for new people or outsiders giving courses to grok, and makes most modern devops practices useless to us.
