    Every time someone mentions complex systems I think about this. There’s just a job you want to get done and everything in the middle is pure friction. If you can look at all the moving parts and understand how they work, you’ll probably go way further, way faster.

    They go over to the government office and ask them how they send the letters. It turns out they were using 3rd party software where people upload all the details and those details are turned into paper forms. Everything was already in a structured database!

    Anyway, the consultant was tasked with building a robot of some kind that would open the letters, scan them, OCR them, take the relevant data, and turn it into a database. But that’s stupid and expensive, so they start digging.

    In fact, they were getting so much mail that it was easier to *weigh the letters* (IRL cardinality approximation!) than it was to count them.

    Story Time! So this friend was working as a software consultant at a company that was managing huge volumes of paperwork from some government agency. The amount of mail was getting to the point where they had a team (!) of people opening and scanning letters.

    We are still looking into observability from the perspective of telemetry. We should do it to discuss the capabilities of systems.

    Now that FaaS / Serverless is a thing, I wonder why more companies that serve tons of data aren't offering compute platforms that are close to the data, vs moving the data to them and incurring those costs on both sides.
