unfortunately, due to reorganization (layoffs) in my previous company i have been assigned to two different bosses.
one of them, my older boss, was trying to prove to the director that this new "thing" is not going to work, albeit in a passive way. without telling him directly, but by sabotaging my daily work, giving me instant assignments that confronted my current assignments from the new boss.
the new boss on the other had was a totalitarian psychopath who used to phone us on 20 minute basis to ask for progress, status, etc. in one word micromanagement at it's worst. he was also at high stress by this reorganization. the director also, everybody was taking some king of stress reducing pills. the place was falling apart.
during that period i have developed insomnia and a nervous tick i still can't get rid off, even that now i work in a beautiful stress free company. 3 years have passed since then.
one morning, after spending a sleepless nigh, i went angry to the directors office and said to him "you will assign me to only one boss, i don't care which one, or i will come to work but i'll stop working". he was afraid being caught on the radar by upper management so he complied. either that or he used me to the maximum and had to loosen up a little.
a few months later a left that IT job for an unqualified workers job as a electric meter reader. in the past 3 years 5 of my colleagues have left that IT firm voluntarily and another 5 were forced to leave. the rest of them, some of my best friends, are still battling high pressure.
the motto "stress increases productivity" is like mass hysteria. it doesn't leave the company once it's in, unless something huge breaks.

One example:
window.localStorage raises an unspecified error when accessed in a local file - Microsoft Edge Development[^]
This was first reported in Sept of 2016. Never fixed. Amusing last post on that issue, posted Jan 13 2019:
Quote: Continues to be a problem Jan 2019.
Unfortunately, I don’t foresee this getting fixed due to MS dropping Edge and switching to Chromium.
Shame MS is giving up on Edge, it is far and above what Chromium is giving us right now 
Yeah right. 2+ years and they haven't fixed it, and Edge is better than Chromium???

Funcations as a Service still use servers.
So is it not server-less : less server management?
instead of serverless: No server?
|
|
|
|
|
Server agnostic - but that doesn't trip off the tongue.

It has the same roots as NoSQL has. The concept and the naming convention is too contrary to each other, that sometimes it is unclear as to whether take this literally, or understand it first.
Serverless basically, the way I understand it, is, a NoOps. If you know DevOps, then you will know what a NoOps is. Basically serverless is not about Functions as a Service, rather it contains a total architectural redesign of the applications to leave the operational components on the runtime. It can be a function, can be an API, whatever. But you leave the operational stuff out of it. It contains the scalability, error-proofing, etc.
At the end of the day, I would be wrong, as someone else might have a different view of this component; provided Kubernetes also has a serverless runtime now, KNative. When provided by a vendor, it would be a service.

its been a long week.
Conference a few years ago guy started his NoSQL talk clearing up to say Not Only SQL - which is a better training start to refer to most of those applications as Not Only SQL, especially if talking to SQL developers.
Perhaps an issue with people coming in to a conversation and use words which sound similar but are totatly different concepts.
Go back 12 years
hey we need to use this new thing : Javascript. it's great, everyone is talking about it.
Our app is Java right, so it it sounds it will be quick to port over.

Here's one way to think of it:
When you deploy functions-as-a-service, how many servers do you personally have to spin up and manage?
Also, the cloud providers make no guarantee that your function will actually run on a server. Your AWS Lambda might function end up running on Jeff Bezos' laptop, or on a Raspberry Pi in the front closet of Amazon's Timbuktu sales office.
Or another way to look at it:
Functions-as-a-service are computing for serverless people, sort of like how Uber is transportation for carless people. In both cases, you can achieve your goal without having to deal with the headaches of owning and maintaining infrastructure. And also in both cases, they're awesome if they fit your use cases, and useless if they don't.
I'm going to be posting an article about all of this some time in the next week.
