There is Airplane pilot on HN? I am surprised, did you make a career switch from IT?

I'm always amazed how diverse the people on HN are. Not everyone is an IT professional but we share a passion for technology.

'Passionate' is not the adjective I would use to describe my feelings towards technology.

Maybe more like passion in the "crime of..." sense?

Modern planes are flying server farms. How is this surprising?

I've worked with several pilots in my career. Unless you have a ton of experience, IT pays better than flying.

Airplane pilot checking in. There are multiple. :)

Yes, some of my software engineer colleagues are pilots as well. You never know who you are talking to, especially now-days.
