It appeared in my newsfeed. Shameless click-bait. No real thoughts about the article other than:

1) if I were playing a buzzword bingo drinking game, I'd probably be hammered after two paragraphs.
2) she said 'IoT' like it's a good thing.

Cue 'get off my lawn' types now.

For those not interested in actually clicking on the article, I have reproduced it below:

I did the favor of running it through a swedish chef translator to simulate my pre-coffee cognitive state when I first looked at the article.

The Swedish Chef version actually makes more sense to me than the original.

"The basic server building block hasn't changed in 20 years"

What a stupid and ignorant statement. It's like saying that airplanes haven't fundamentally changed since WWII, since they all still have engines and wings.

No. It makes sense. 20 years ago servers had the blinky lights. Right now they have the blinky lights. In the future the servers will run in software in the cloud with the internet of things without the blinky lights. It makes total sense.
