I worked in AWS for a bit and my favorite joke was to flippantly suggest mturk as a solution to some convoluted architecture/process.
That's not a joke, that's a legitimate solution.
It was often trivializing some discussion on state management. E.g. a database failover or consensus loss

But, yes, it would have _worked_ if our requirements weren't so strict :)
