You've missed the point. The argument is that eventhough aiming for FB scale is absurd, some considerations should be taken under consideration from the start. We're seeing YAGNI-style arguments being abused to sell the idea that

It's a very good time to dive into microservices/containers/container orchestration. Good times.

The benchmark states that, for intel's processor, "# of samples" is 1 while AMD is 32. What does this mean? Are Intel's results taken from a single lucky test run while AMD's results are a statistic compiled from 32

That is not a fair assertion. You might have ignored static analyzers until you've discovered clang, but that observation is not generalizable. As others have already pointed out, lint has been used extensively for decades.

A "toast" means a few words of salutation. That's the purpose of the Toast UI element. A user requests an action, the action returns a successful response, the user receives a message consisting of a few words announcing the
