Visited one of those $20 million data centers in Dallas - total waste of money
Walked through a freshly built facility last month that had 3 redundant power feeds and backup generators that cost more than my house. Meanwhile their actual routing hardware was a mess of mismatched ports and crappy cable management. Spent all that cash on fancy cooling systems but forgot to buy decent switches. Any of yall seen a place that overspent on the building but cheaped out on the actual network gear?

People do this everywhere not just data centers. They throw money at the flashy stuff everyone can see but skimp on the boring parts that actually do the work. It's like putting a fancy engine in a car with bald tires and wondering why it handles like crap.

My buddy spent thousands on speakers but kept the old wiring.
