One time I met one of these guys on a flight that was delayed out of PHL airport.

We were in a little ERJ-135 and never got a clear view of the line we were in because we kept turning corners, but when we were second-in-line for takeoff we broke out of the line and I could see a long line of big and small airplanes waiting behind us close to sunset.

I thought was a miracle, like a scene out of a science fiction movie.

He said "I can't believe I paid $1000 for this!"

I started asking him questions and found out he worked as a contractor running fiber for data centers operators by Google and Facebook and I picked his brain for 45 minutes about how a modern datacenter is wired up.
