Yuuuuup. We once had a cloudflare outage. My CEO asked "mitigate it" I hit him back with, okay, but that'll take me weeks/months potentially, since we're tiny, do you really want to take away that many resources jus

Counter thought: Rent is going up A LOT every year. My parent's house in a similar area is not, even with extra taxes, it is far lower than what I pay. They fix up something, its fixed. We have a problem -- it will be fixed in the chea

Reminds me of the early days of cloud computing. It was very pricey, but once the tools caught up in 5 or so years, it went from "omg cloud is so expensive" to "omg cloud is only expensive when its worth building your own dat

Reminds me of the argument of "cars used to be more sturdy than today, where any hit is a total" Um... Looking at videos of crashing old cars into new cars, the old cars DO NOT hold up to new cars in terms of breaking. The only di

I had a kid at 22, I am now 40 with a kid going to college. I can echo this exact sentiment. However at 22 I wasn't the experienced person I am today. Nor was I stable, nor could I jump on opportunities like my peers could. If having a

I find that postgres query planner is quite satisfactory for very difficult use cases. I was able to get 5 years into a startup that wasn't basically trying to be the next Twitter on a 300 dollar postgres tier with heroku. The reduced

I've used a philosophy of reduced infra complexity till you really need it for years. Having to just manage a database is far easier infra wise than a complex system for small rails operations. Scaling up there will always be strong ne

This. This is it. Now Disney will have to bow down and kiss the ring or their us incomes will fail. Make it too expensive to not bow down. That's how this works. I'll make doing business too painful for you unless you cater to my

As someone who set these up, I can tell you, the answer is rather simple: - spammers have 1 system to set up in order to spam. They get it right. - company admins have dozens of projects, of which this is a tiny one, with zero ROI to the bo

Just a note. Ukranian manufacturing has really stepped up. They are making 80% of the ammunition now. They also have a well trained army still alive while the Russians have only conscripts with weeks of training. Russia manufacturing is dim
