What it means

A hand-drawn comic presents the eight classic fallacies of distributed computing, illustrated with cats and other animals acting out each mistaken assumption. The joke is that distributed systems violate seemingly obvious beliefs such as reliable networks, zero latency, infinite bandwidth, and a single administrator. It is commonly shared by programmers and systems engineers as a humorous reaction to networking and infrastructure problems.
