      everyone's mocking this, and so am I, but to be fair, it's a fine idea of an insane goal that drives a whole bunch of good hygiene practices, even if you never actually intend to do that thing consider Bezo's demand that Amazon clean up it's IT enough to offer AWS services >https://twitter.com/defense_news/status/1305971993230151684 …

      2/ and, IIRC, he even said that AWS services would have to compete with outside companies FOR AMAZON'S OWN USE. What better way to get your webhosting or database team to seriously focus on hygiene, APIs, and cost than demanding this?

      3/ Likewise, one can easily imagine that CURRENT USAF practice is that to update, say, and F-16 with a driver that lets it communicate with missile type X which hangs under it's wing, you need to pull four circuit boards from the avionics bay, send them back to the vendor...

      4/ get them replaced with new boards that have different ROMs, switch some jumpers, and install an auxillary board. ...and then if you switch from missile type X to type G, you have to reverse the process.

      5/ or, likewise, one can imagine that there are two different radars, the revision A and the revision B, and they're plug compatible with the avionics, but rev B requires a matching rev B driver in the computer, and so you need to roll up a 600 lb avionics support cart

      6/ fire up a generator to power the cart, fire up the F-16 to power up its avionics, have a tech upload the right driver for the new radar that maintenance installed from spares, etc.

      7/ I don't know that this is exactly how it works, but I'd be willing to make a $20 bet that I'm off in the right direction. So, given this sort of 1970s - 1990s base for DoD stuff, if you say "the new gold standard is update drivers for radar and missiles and maps IN FLIGHT

      8/ That could serve as a very smart forcing function to get architecture cleaned up.
