it was sort of a play on words, ie. cannon fodder - "is an informal, derogatory term for combatants who are regarded or treated by government or military command as expendable".

So I was working on clouds when they first came out (AWS 2006) feeling so beat up way back in the day there was no automation for any of it, so I wrote things like mysql snapshots and disaster recovery and all this stuff.. only to have Amazon use the company I worked for as a product roadmap and crush our business into oblivion. We then spent lots of time doing the same thing with other clouds like rackspace, openstack, and a ton of other clouds that nobody has ever heard of because they also got crushed.

So, that's the backstory for cloud fodder. I set it as my Twitter handle many years ago and then never used Twitter.. Got churned up and spit out by the clouds. 😎💣
