OP — I’m not that privy to the details of what in the world was running on that MacBook Air, but I’m 100% sure it wasn’t “the production servers for Uber eats Canada.” It was some kind of hack doing some kind of thing on a recurring basis to make sure the service continued. These things were often hacked together by engineers, and sometimes ops people, in the middle of outages, as a stop gap.
