An entry-level programmer was working hard on a deadline one night when he decided to get up and get another cup of cafe au-lait. When he went dashing around the corner he found the CEO standing by the paper shredder with a document in his hand. The CEO said, “My secretary has gone for the evening, do you know how to operate this thing?” The young programmer (feeling a spot of pride) said yes and placed the document in the machine and hit the “GO” button. Just as the document disappeared, the CEO responds, “Terrific! Now, I just need 10 copies.”

A programmer, a systems analyst and a network administrator drive in a car on the way to a trade show. As they drive down a steep hill, the brakes fail. The system analyst (who is driving) tries to manouver the car down the narrow road around the sharp curves. Thanks to his incredible driving abilities and due to a lot of luck, they reach the bottom of the hill unharmed and manage to bring the car to a stop.

They jump out of the car, and the network administrator shouts “We have to open the hood and check all the wiring to make sure all the connections are fine”. “Yes,” the system analyst agrees, “we need to analyze the brake system to find the problem”.

“Pha!”, says the computer programmer “we’ll restart the engine, take it back to the top of the hill, and see if it happens again…”

It provides developers with on-demand compute and storage to host, scale, and manage web applications on the internet through datacenters.
