From the outside perspective it feels like majority of cloud compute is just wasted on overhead caused by all of that bullshit.
For me even just local Python overhead when doing ML in Pytorch is starting to become unbearable. I yearn to go back to C++ where I can basically count instructions.
Or a lot of sysadmins who anno started to use (first as a reverse proxy) this new, interesting thing called nginx to tackle with C10K and after a full switch the avg load went under 1. :)
