It’s shit a lot of people don’t think about tbh. Like imagine all the meaningless shit people have done on the internet, and that shit literally travels across the whole world using impressive feats of technology. I’m saving this post for later. 🤣
Infrastructure is all about unbelievable feats of engineering that are taken for granted. Sewage systems, running water, electricity, roads, public transport, cars, physical mail, and grocery stores/supermarkets are all unbelievable achievements that we all take for granted to varying degrees, and that’s just off the top of my head. IP networking is just more of that. Absolutely crazy, and by design we don’t think about it.
But AI (also depicted in this gif) is not in the same category IMO, for a lot of reasons.
Simply doing a traceroute to a website in another country a long time ago fascinated me. Seeing it hit all of the routers in other cities then across the ocean to another continent and back in less than 100ms blew my mind.
Led me down that path and now I’ve been a network engineer for over 10 years.
