Sit Still, Look Pretty By Daya Interpretation


I love this song. It's very entertaining and informational.

[Verse 1]
Could dress up, to get love
But guess what?
I'm never gonna be that girl
Who's living in a Barbie world

Could wake up in make up and play dumb
Pretending that I need a boy
Who's gonna treat me like a toy


She's not the type of girl who objectifies life.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know the other girlies wanna wear expensive things and diamond rings
But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing on a string
This queen don't need a king


Again, she is not the type of girl who objectifies life.

[Chorus]
Oh I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty

You get off on a 9 to 5
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be cause I don't wanna be
Cause I don't wanna sit still, look pretty


This is perfect feminism. People may frown about her dreaming of ruling the world, but she doesn't care. Even the American Dream which involves working from 9 to 5, having picket fences, and trophy relationships won't hold her back.

[Verse 2]
Mr. Right could be nice, for one night
But then he wanna take control
And I would rather fly solo
That Snow White, she did right in her life
Had 7 men to do the chores
Cause that's not what a lady's for


The idea of being with "Mr. Right" entices her. She is on the look out still on the danger of someone controlling her life; because it isn't right.

She praises Snow White for being her ideal girl of being a feminist.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The only thing a boy's gonna give a girl for free's captivity
And I might love me some vanilla, but I'm not that sugar sweet
Call me HBIC

Again, she is on the look out for anyone trying to control her and pull her down. On the last two lines, she emphasizes her feminism and being in charge.

She's Kinda Hot by 5 Seconds Of Summer Interpretation


Today, I would like to interpret a song from one of my favorite bands (5 Seconds of Summer): She's Kinda Hot, if you don't mind (using, again, genius.com).

[Verse 1: Luke & Calum]
My girlfriend’s bitchin' cause I always sleep in
She’s always screaming when she’s calling her friends
She’s kinda hot though
Yeah she’s kinda hot though

My shrink is telling me I've got crazy dreams
She’s also saying I've got low self-esteem
She’s kinda hot though
Yeah she’s kinda hot though

She put me on meds, she won’t get out of my head
She’s kinda hot though


The first line suggests that his girlfriend is always mad at him for being "lazy." The next one points out his girlfriend's bad attitude. He then still concludes that his girlfriend is hot anyway so it's okay (all's good).

The next lines are kind of the same as the previous lines; his girlfriend who also happens to be a shrink thinks that he has unrealistic expectations, and a low self-esteem. He again concludes that everything's okay because she's kind of hot. The last few lines shows that instead of working with his problems, his girlfriend chose the easy way out of giving him medications instead; still, he is contented because of her hotness.

[Verse 2: Luke]
My friend left college cause it felt like a job
His mum and dad both think he’s a slob
He’s got a shot though
Yeah, he’s got a shot though
When you've got bigger plans that no one else understands
You've got a shot though


This whole verse is pretty straightforward: Luke's friend left college because it was not right for him. His parents frowned upon it; regardless, he is optimistic about this friend's fate.

[Chorus: All]
They say we’re losers and we’re all alright with that
We are the leaders of the not coming backs
But we’re alright though
Yeah we’re alright though

We are the kings and the queens of the new broken scene
Yeah we’re alright though


Other people think that the people of this band are losers. However, they are okay with this as they are famous and supported by their fans, anyway.

"We are the leaders of the not coming backs" and "We are the kings and the queens of the new broken scene" are the same: They are part of the youth who inherits this world from their parents no matter what (even if they won't come back to being normal and regarded as losers, respectively).

[Verse 3: Ashton]
Sometimes I'm feeling like I'm going insane
My neighbour told me that I've got bad brains
But I'm alright though
Yeah we’ll be alright though
Cause we're the kings and the queens of the new broken scene
And we're alright though


Everybody thinks that 5SOS people are "insane." Also, people say that they are stupid because they dabble in rock.

New Romantics By Taylor Swift Interpretation


I'm not only blogging about this because it is nerdy. Aside from that, it portrays humanity. Today, I would like to share with you my interpretation of the song New Romantics by Taylor Swift through genius.com.

Verse 1

We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything
We wait for trains that just aren't coming
We show off our different scarlet letters
Trust me, mine is better

We're so young, but we're on the road to ruin
We play dumb but we know exactly what we're doing
We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom
Honey, life is just a classroom

On the first line, Taylor Swift both mocks and recognizes the young adult's sense of being bored of almost everything because of how much they expect in life (hello, fellow Millennials!). On the next one, she recognizes the existence of failures and disappointment. For her, it is part of being the "New Romantics." Then, regarding the scarlet letters, she talks about the characteristic of young  adults competing on whose scarlet letter is better.

Regarding the "We're so young, but we're on the road to ruin," it refers to how the other generation seem to expect this generation (the Millennials) to fail because of their traits like high expectations, self-confidence, and the like (you can read all about them on Wikipedia (Millennials)).

About the "We play dumb but we know exactly what we're doing," it refers to how girls think that they have to play dumb in order to be in a relationship which is an underlying tactic that is actually smart.

On the "We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom," Taylor Swift recognizes the truth that women sometimes cry for their boyfriends or partners.

Lastly, on "Honey, life is just a classroom," it is pretty straightforward: life is actually just a classroom where we learn stuff, we get bullied, smart people are revered, as well as rich and good-looking people, and the like.

Chorus

Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me

And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream

Baby we're the new romantics
Come on, come along with me
Heartbreak is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
We're too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet
Baby we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

On "Cause baby I could build a castle, out of all the bricks they threw at me," Taylor Swift shows off her ability to make something better and royal out of mean things like "bricks." Also, the word "bricks" rhymes with "castle," which is cool!

On the next line, she recognizes the hardship of life. Despite that, people like her (who are famous and successful) are envied by their peers, so it's all worth it.

On the, "Baby, we're the New Romantics" line, it is explained that Romanticism is an old idea you can learn from school. Young adults experience this romanticism but they always think that it is not that old romanticism taught in school. They think they are the "new" romantics.

On the "Come on, come along with me. Heartbreak is the national anthem. We sing it proudly. We're too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet. Baby we're the new romantics," it is clear that Millennials seem to not have the ability to make relationships lasts. It maybe because they are busy chasing fun ("We're too busy to get knocked off our feet").

On the last line, it is a play on the saying that "the best things in life are free." That saying is about money. Here, Taylor Swift thinks that the perspective of Millennials that they are the best generation ever is true.

Also, she recognizes that the best people in your life like friends and family doesn't have a price.


Verse 2

We're all here, the lights and noise are blinding
We hang back it's all in the timing
It's poker, you can't see it in my face
But I'm about to play my Ace

We need love but all we want is danger
We team up then switch sides like a record changer
The rumors are terrible and cruel
But honey most of them are true


The first line sets the atmosphere of partying where people get drunk and feel alive at the same time. The "We hang back it's in the timing" line expresses that there is a sweet spot in life: it is all in the timing. You have to get hold of this moment to be successful.

About the "It's poker, you can't see it in my face," Taylor sings that love is like poker! Stuff that happen in love is not always obvious all the time.

This line, "We need love but all we want is danger," it is expressed that sometimes, we seek danger in our life.

While on, "We team up then switch sides like a record changer," Taylor says that in life nothing is stable.

Lastly, on "The rumors are terrible and cruel but honey most of them are true," instead of being ashamed of all the "terrible rumors," Taylor Swift learned to accept them.


Breakdown

Please take my hand and
Please take me dancing and
Please leave me stranded
It's so romantic, it's so romantic


This whole "breakdown," shows that most people don't really know how to fall in love. Few people actually understand the science of love (wizard of love where are you?)

Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix) by OMI Interpretation


Today, I am going to use genius.com again to share to you the interpretation of one of my favorite songs: Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix). Some people say that the song is anti-feminist. I say it depends on your interpretation of the song. The way I see it, the song is portraying a perfect relationship between two people.

Verse 1

When I need motivation
My one solution is my queen
Cause she' stay strong (yeah yeah)
She is always in my corner
Right there when I want her

All these other girls are tempting
But I'm empty when you're gone
And they say


This sets the tone of his partner always being on his side

Pre-Chorus

Do you need me?
Do you think I'm pretty?
Do I make you feel like cheating?

And I'm like no, not really cause

The guy shows that he is loyal to his girl

Chorus

Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her
Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader
She is always right there when I need her


The way I see it, he describes his partner as not only always on his side, she is also like a cheerleader - the epitome of anyone's supporter

She walks like a model
She grants my wishes like a genie in a bottle (yeah yeah)
Cause I'm the wizard of love
And I got the magic wand

All these other girls are tempting
But I'm empty when you're gone
And they say


He feels contented with his partner. He also thinks that he's the "wizard of love" which means that he thinks that he is expert in the field of love. Here he shows his loyalty again to his girl.

Verse 3

She gives me love and affection
Baby did I mention, you're the only girl for me
No I don't need a next one

Mama loves you too, she thinks I made the right selection
Now all that's left to do
Is just for me to pop the question


He loves his girl so much that he plans to marry her.

Interpretation Of Payphone By Maroon 5 Ft. Wiz Khalifa


Notice the pattern of all my blogs or articles? It's that they're always connected to nerdiness technology! Today I would like to share with you my interpretation of my favorite song: Payphone!!! So what's the connection with technology, you ask? Well, there's the word payphone on the title and for your information, telephones including payphones are sincerely connected with technology.

So here we go. Don't judge too much, okay?

Before we start further, I would like to mention that I consulted genius.com for this too, mixed with my own experiences and interpretation.

Verse 1

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change, I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby, it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two


So, the song starts with Adam Levine being on the payphone. If this were a short story, the narrator is establishing the setting. Then, Adam Levine talks about both the changes he made for the girl as well as the literal change he supposedly used to call the same girl (therefore, "change" here acts as a homophone).

It is therefore implied that he changed too much for this girl that he can't take it anymore.

Nobody knows what causes a person to change too much for someone; however, I can tell you that it is obvious, that that special someone is mostly likely immensely significant to you, for you to do that.

Then, he tries to remember the moments they had and the plans that they made that weren't realized.

Verse 1

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me

You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?

And in that time that you wasted
All of our bridges burnt down



You know the feeling when you've been too away from each other for  too long that you forget
what makes you unique in the way that you lived and treated each other nicely? That is what basically is happening here.

Although they changed hoping that it would help them, the opposite of what they expected is what happened.

His object of affection expressed something like it is too late for reconciliation. Still, he asks whether it is too late to give it another try (mushy). During the time that was spent afar from each other, their relationship was destroyed; thus, time was most likely or probably wasted then.

Pre-Hook

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love

But even the sun sets in paradise

Again, since the relationship ended, it made Adam Levine feel like the time he spent with her is now wasted; he feels like he is paralyzed while remembering the past when the relationship was still working. He concludes then that maybe the saying is true that nothing lasts forever.


Hook

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone? Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this

All those fairytales are full of shit
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick


Again, the setting is introduced: he is at a payphone. Moreover, the change that he spent calling her through the payphone, and the changes he made for her is reiterated; as well, as the remembrance of their lives together; and the plans they made which are now gone.

In reference with the fairy tales with lines like "...they lived happily ever after," he is optimistic that if ever there were happy endings in real life, their relationship would still be whole.

In real life, everything is completely complicated despite fairytales suggesting otherwise. Moreover, he's sick of hearing love songs because they probably remind him of the not-so-happy ending that happened to their relationship.


Verse 2

You turned your back on tomorrow
Cause you forgot yesterday

I gave you my love to borrow
But you just gave it away

You can't expect me to be fine
I don't expect you to care

I know I said it before
But all of our bridges burnt down


Adam suggests that instead of focusing on the good things in the relationship, she focused on the bad and gave up without giving second thought on whether to still maintain it or not. It is more likely that despite Adam giving his 100% in the relationship, love-wise, it was one-sided.

Adam says that she doesn't even notice the hurt she caused him; which is probably one of the reasons why the relationship failed.

Again, with the time her girl being distant, Adam suggests that the girl wasted time being distant as everything that is keeping them together is now gone.

I don't want to include the part of Wiz Khalifa here no offense, because of some inappropriate words. Regardless, you can always check genius.com for it's interpretation there if you are curious. Here is a link to genius.com's take on it http://genius.com/Maroon-5-payphone-lyrics.

I love how songs help us express feelings and stuff we couldn't express otherwise. Don't you think?

3 ways to be a better Yoshimitsu user on Tekken 3

Let's face it: the best version of Tekken is Tekken 3. If ever you still have your PlayStation 1 laying around (a real gem), I am going to show you how to be the best at Tekken 3/kick ass on Tekken 3/destroy Tekken 3.

Yoshimitsu. Clearly, Yoshimitsu is not necessarily the strongest character but if you can use him well he can be kick ass cool/he is the coolest/it's the coolest way to play the game. He's creative, skillfull and stuff. Although fighting games are repetitive, you can easily get over it with Yoshimitsu because of the diversity he adds/gives to the game. He is is simply a different, unexpected, too good to be true, unrealistic, once in a lifetime, funny, and perfect character. I might be biased but the game is very subjective anyway. Regardless, whenever you're using Yoshimitsu, it's like you are being the character in real life. It's so realistic. It immerses you in the fighting culture. It gives you the energy as if you are really in the game in real life.

Number 1: Remember these moves.

You have to learn these four moves: <- <- box; <- <- box box; up triangle + box; and down O + X. Then, you have to learn how to move while you are in up triangle + box; if you want to move to the right, you have to press -> + up; otherwise, press <- + up. To get out of this position, press either <- and/or ->.

Before going to Number 2, make sure you got used to these moves already.

Number 2: How to use the moves. As much as possible, use <- <- box on your enemies. Just two successful attempts of this move and you got your enemy knocked out immediately. If you're on hot water (your enemies got too close for a successful attempt of <- <- box), press box once again/more.

Regarding the up triangle + box; use this as a defense whenever you enemy attacks you on your lower body.

Lastly, down O + X. For some worst case scenarios where you are about to lose your life, this recharges your life during the game.

Number 3: If all else fails, use his kicks. Any of those. Either O, -> O, and/or the like (you get the picture).

Let me know what you think on the comments section.

3 ways to earn more money

Number 1: Get percentage instead of a fix rate. Okay, there are some situations where it can be better to take a fix rate instead of a percentage. For example, someone asks you to fix their personal air-conditioner. You would want to get a fix rate for that because your customer most likely wouldn't get profit from getting their air-conditioner fixed.

How about if someone asks you to design their website and you expect that website to earn a lot of money because of your work? You have to appreciate the worth of your work and decide that you take percentage if that is what's fair.

Number 2: Get jobs where you are good at. The key is efficiency. Choose something where you could be more productive the most. In this world, more productivity means more money.

Number 3: Hone a very special talent. Use this talent to be on top of your game. It's true, nerds always win in the end.

Have any more tips on earning more money? Tell me about it on the comments section.

How to reach base level 99 fast on Ragnarok Online

Ragnarok Online can be intimidating at first glance. Honestly, that is so expected without some expert opinion from players who already tried it. This is what this blog post is about. It's about to prepare you on your journey on playing Ragnarok Online.

Number 1: Job choice. The preferred job choice is the Swordsman one. The trick is killing enemies on the fastest time. To be able to do this, you need the Magnum Break Skill, Fly Wings, and potions/fruits (whatever heals/cures the characters). To be able to be a Swordsman, you have to get your job level to 10.

Number 2: (Once a Swordsman) Where to level-up to be able to use the Magnum Break Skill. To be able to use the Magnum Break Skill, you have to increase your job level up to 10. Go to the Spores for this one. Get as much Magnum Break level as possible.

Number 3: Where to increase your base level up to 30: Go to the Poison Spores. The key here is luring and defeating as much Poison Spores as you can handle and kill with Magnum Break. Use your potions/fruits and Fly Wings along the way.

Number 4: Where to increase your base level up to 40: Go to the Orc Warriors (Orc Village).
Use the same technique used above.

Number 5: Where to increase your base level up to 53 and attain enough job level to be a Knight: Orc Zombie.

Number 6: Change into a second job as a Knight.

Number 7: Go back to the Orc Zombies to increase your base level up to 70. Try to change your weapon into a Pike and replace your skill from Magnum Break to Bowling Bash as fast as you can. Also, rent a Peco Peco as fast as you can

Number 8: If you don't have much Zenny, keep on fighting Orc Zombies until you reach base level 99. Otherwise, go to other monsters which give more experience points until you reach base level of 99. 

Number 9: Weapon choice: get as much strength as possible depending on your Zenny.

Number 10: What to increase: I would suggest filling up the DEX first as much as possible. Then, do the same with VIT. Lastly, spend the remaining points on STR. If there are still remaining points, it's up to you where you would want to spend them.

Number 11: Use potions/fruits reasonably.

Number 12: Use fly wings for time efficiency.

This gives you an idea of how to level-up fast on Ragnarok Online. You can mix it up depending on your taste, style, and the like. Good luck!

Why I love Counter-Strike or How to play Counter-Strike

Today I like to talk about an integral part of my computer/technology career. Unexpectedly, it is my skill on the game called Counter-Strike. I would like to impart to my readers my knowledge which helped me to be regarded as sort of an "expert" on the field of the said game. More than anything, I want to teach you how be the best on it. Also, I would like to discuss the significance it has in my life and the potential it has to touch others' lives too.

I can't imagine life without Counter-Strike (specifically the version 1.3 one). Needless to say, you can tell that I am nostalgic about it. I heard about the latest version that the makers of Counter-Strike are developing right now, which is Counter-Strike Global Offensive. I can already see the importance of your experience on playing Counter-Strike 1.3 on becoming good on that latest version; which can become handy especially now that on the tournaments of these stuff, you can get something over a million dollars as a prize.

So, let's go into the heart of it: how to be good on counter-strike 1.3? Number 1, Brightness. Enemies are hard to see with the default brightness of the game. Meaning, if you are not the server of the game this is a necessity (this might seem unnecessary but trust me it is. It sounds senseless but it is not). So, to be able to do it, type "map de_dust" on the console. Wait for the console to take you to (guess where) de_dust. After, click ~, and type and enter on the console "brightness 999." After that, enter "map de_dust" again. Wait until it gets you to de_dust again. Just now, it has the perfect brightness which will surely help you differentiate someone who is your enemy and friend on the game.

Number 2: Controls. Before even starting to play the game, go to the controls part. Click defaults. After that, change how you can buy with F1 instead of B; and how to buy bombs with F4 instead of M. For those of you who are curious, this would make you buy weapons, ammunition, and bombs faster which will make you more efficient on the game. Note, buy ammunitions with F1 + 6 and F1 + 7, instead of the alternative version. Trust me on this.

Number 3: Don't be the server as much as possible. This is quite crucial. The most important reason why is that you would not be able to use technique number 1, which is the brightness part. There is simply no way of doing it. Plus, if you are playing in an internet cafe, which is what most likely is the case (because that is the easiest way to play it with other people; trust me), you cannot quit just anytime that you want because you would annoy other players. When you quit the game, other players will be disconnected to the game too. I would not worry so much on this certain technique, but I just thought you should know something about it.

Number 4: Weapon choice. Let's face the elephant in the room. The only best weapon choice for the game is the sniper one. Pair it with pistol F1 + 1 and you have a perfect combo. The key here is practice. Train using the sniper one so that you kill enemies precisely as fast as possible and you would always be good to go. Plus, if you master using your pistol to kill enemies with headshots that would be a plus. Not that I am overselling, you can try other weapons but this would always be the perfect combo/one.


Number 5: Strategic positioning on the game. This is about where you go on the game (the path you choose). The trick here is choosing maximum efficiency. What I mean here is choose your position on the game so that you balance your safety and ability to kill enemies in the best way. Players on this game are very vulnerable. You can get killed in literally an instant. Protect yourself as much as possible without losing your ability to kill enemies. Since you already chose your perfect set of weapons, this would be like a walk in the park. With a sniper, choose a place where you can use it such that you are hidden but at the same time has the vision to hunt your preys.

Number 6: Map choice: you only have three options for this: cs_deathmatch, de_dust, de_dust2. Why? It is really tempting to say just because when you are already into the game, because it is just the way it is. However, for beginners out there, it is just the way it is because it would make the game fairer if you know what I mean. There is no special treatment and/or unfair advantage for either teams. Therefore, players equally enjoy the game (which is always a good thing).

Needless to say, it has a significant impact on my life. More than anything, it taught me how to be a team player and accept defeat graciously. It is a game where you can be yourself, make mistakes, get defeated or win with no pressure or someone judging you. Personally, it is a good environment to be in as a child. It might also added to my tech-savvyness. Despite it's violent connotation, I disagree that it has negative impacts on anybody. So far, it didn't lead me to be violent to other people. Contrary, it made me more compassionate, warm, and social.

I hope this helped you become better on Counter-Strike. Otherwise, if it made you curious about the game, great! Good luck playing it! I promise you it would be worth it. Try it as fast as possible now!

How to create a website

What people often ask me is how to create a website. Being in the computer industry is so elite. It is very typical for anyone to be interested in it. The easiest way to get into it is by creating your own website. It's simply instant eliteness. Nobody has got anything to lose.

So, how to do it? Luckily for me, I had training in doing it during highschool. For those who didn't, don't worry. You can always visit w3schools.com. The tutorial there is straightforward and comprehensive.

After your tutorial on w3schools.com you will realize that you can always create a website on your own computer. It is easy.

The only thing missing is how are you going to share it to the whole world. In layman's terms, how are you going to make it go live?

There are basically two ways: one, without payment; and two, with payment.

To accomplish the first one you need a free web hosting site. Register there and before you know it you have a website up and running for the whole world to see.

The catch is you can't always control the whole domain name on these free web hosting websites. For example, x.com is the free web hosting website. Sometimes, for them to host your site freely, you will be restricted to a domain name that is <your domain name here>.x.com.

To accomplish the latter, which requires payment, you need to rent your own server. What is a server, you say?

A server is the one who serves the website to the client(s). It is literally derived from a server-client relationship in a restaurant. A client orders food from the server and the server consequently serves what the client orders.

It embodied by a protocol. The protocol being the rule that it is always imperative that when a client orders something, the server must always serve it to him/her; just as the rule that the client must almost always has to pay for his/her food is important.

You need to write code which the server will serve to your clients. You have to decide on which service you can provide.

In the case of theclarky.com, the service that it provides is being an image hosting website where users can upload and view images around the world.

For that to work, I must write a code that will instruct my server(s) on what to do so that it(they) can do it's(their) job correctly.

That is it for today's crash course on how to create a website.

Load Balancers part 2

Load Balancers are pretty high-tech machines. They are smart.

Depending on how you configure them, they check stuff like cpu utilization so that they know where to divert traffic for maximum system efficiency.

The smarter they are, the more you'll save for your company.

The configuration of these things depend on how your company works (what your company is about).

You should adjust them so that they will benefit you. I could take a lot of trial and error although with correct (match) configuration, it is reasonable to expect great benefits.

It is always worth it to use load balancers. Most times, for big companies, they are necessary.

I've heard that these machines are expensive. Plus, you have to know how to configure them.

Before purchasing one, plan for sure. Always make sure that you won't lose money (that is always bad).

To sum up this blog, a lot of planning is necessary before starting a company in the computer industry. Plus, the environment is tough. You have to love what you're doing so you won't give up. You need all the energy you can get to run your own business. There is no space for hating your job. You have to be fully devoted to it to make sure everything turns out fine.

Load Balancers

For other web developers out there here is one portion of the computer world that is hot right now: load balancers.

What are load balancers?

They are machines which distribute traffic to one or more machines for a certain website.

Imagine expecting a lot of traffic on your website. One machine cannot handle all of that traffic alone. You need one or more machines.

To be able to pull that off, you need one or more load balancers.

How do load balancers function?

They receive initial traffic then distribute them to other machines to be processed.

Big internet companies like Facebook and Google use load balancers to handle billions of traffic.

It is imperative for web developers to be familiar with load balancers because it is a topic that is very much en vogue right now.

Knowledge of them can definitely give you an edge in the industry. Plus, this knowledge can help you in creating and/or innovating new technology.

For more information about load balancers, don't be shy research and/or google them on the internet.

The idea is very straightforward.

This could only be beneficial.

Thank you for letting me share this with you.
