Claude AI told me that people use the acronym “FAT LAD” for the performance trade-offs of a distributed system:
I cannot find any evidence that it’s right. When I asked it if FAT LAD was a well-known acronym, it denied it. So it made this up, though it’s a useful acronym. That said, I see two problems:
- It’s missing consistency
- It’s going to land me in hot water
So I decided to make up my own: “FLAT CAD.” There you go.
