Trivialities in logistics and their impact on you as a person are two different things. If I added 500ms of latency to a keyboard (ssh, a bunch of VPNs, etc) I imagine a janitor would say ‘it’s a trivial part of your job, you’re getting paid for it.’ Yet that would cause many developers to pull their hair out.

That's an extraordinarly good analogy, which I was not able to come up with myself despite thinking about it for a couple minutes. Thanks!

Latency on everything is rather different.

If you made my deploys go from 30 seconds to 35, I don't think I'd care very much.

Make the latency random for more fun.
