Did someone write this demo for them?
Did they give it to them and they just run the code?
Yeah, we think that, don't we?
Well, I mean, I can see why, because sometimes...
it's hard to value skills you don't have.
So a lot of software engineers are terrible.
If you put a software, they can't talk.
They can't simplify concepts.
Maybe they can write code really well, but this is a set of skills that they may or may not have.
And so when you see someone like that, you're questioning them.
And I remember giving a talk one time at Strange Loop about etcd and CoreOS, and someone was like,
Do you understand, is etcd like a CA system or an AP system, like the cap theorem?
And the question was kind of loaded, like, we don't think you even know what that means.
I was like, etcd is going to always favor consistency.
He was like, that's not correct.
The RAF paper, blah, blah, blah.
I said, listen, you said etcd.
Let me show you.
This is the RAF log.
This is my three nodes.
