Edge computing

From a recent conversation about edge computing.

• What is this edge computing thing?
• Think of the cloud
• Yes?
• Now move that computer into your house
• Yes?
• Tadaa!
• Wait, so you mean….just …having a computer?
• Yes, but when this one doesn’t work you can’t know why and you can’t do anything about it. And if whatever company at the other end of the tether goes tits-up you have a an expensive brick.
• I hate new technologies
• Oh it isn’t new, but now people in bad suits get to use technical sounding jargon.
• Like “agile”?
• Like “agile”
• I see. Good talk.
