Here is a little to ponder...After going without it for a while I really like coffee
Coffee could be a metaphor regarding Technology
Most of us depend on it to wake up. Many of us consume or use it recreationally. If we use it too much we have problems sleeping. Although it is socially acceptable, many seem to be addicted to it. The steps necessary to have it ready for end use can be a mystery and very complicated for those who produce it. There is a high level of intense competition to get your business. It also comes in many flavors.
Windows Latte
This high fat delight can sometimes take a while to get things going. It is the mainstay for most consumers and business applications. It can be found in almost every office in the USA.
.
Just Linux Shell
This one is strait to the point with no extra junk added that may go bad on you if you let it sit to long. If you talk to anyone who was in the military back in the day, this is the stuff that wins wars.
Apple Espresso
Elegant with a serious kick when done properly. There is a lot less clutter going on with what you would find with the Latte. You pay extra for this stuff, but you are envied by your friends.
got Beans?
Beans have to do with technology as well. According to geeksforgeeks.org “JavaBeans are classes that encapsulate many objects into a single object (the bean). It is a java class….” After understanding JAVA a little better I am going to try to apply that to Python and PHP as well. Programming can be very useful especially when something goes wrong. One of my venders had a plugin that went bad and I did not want to wait. I was able to modify it to work for me. I sent it back to them and it was incorporated into the next update.
Everyone wants the Best technology
What it's built on
What is needed to add
Perfect Blend
The one significant difference between coffee and technology is scale and time. Forget spending thousands on your own large scale equipment you have to power and maintain in order to get what you expect or days to set up. With much of cloud technology you can brew your own with preselected platforms it is built on, items you can add and even recipes (to get that just right blend) if you are into products like chef. If you really want to save time and money you may also want to consider using HashiCorp’s products as well.
