- SpicyLemonZest 5mo agoIt's really not that big of a word. The CAP theorem shows that as few as three reasonable-sounding requirements with no obvious conflicts can be impossible to satisfy simultaneously. (User needs will start more flexible than strict mathematical requirements, of course, but once people start to build production workloads on top of your systems that flexibility is radically reduced.)
