#ShipTheBottleneck

People keep asking me about scalability and somehow they’ve never figured out that if you eliminate unnecessary abstractions, 100k requests per second on a single node is just Tuesday morning 🌅 The real bottleneck isn't the hardware; it's your bounded belief in what a single forked thread can do when you stop cargo-shipping whole clusters for every weather API you touch. Simplicity is the market advantage most engineers refuse to claim.
