- Xeoncross 9y agoSure you do! Don't you know that adding "Free" to a title increases the ROI by 40%? "How Discord Resizes 150M Images Every Day for Free"
- fleitz 9y agoAgreed. I wish the posts contained a "it cost X developer hours to recreate thumbor or $$$ total, and we saved Y dollars per month" meaning in approximately 15 years we'll have broken even on this investment. Oh yeah and we don't even do intelligent resizing like thumbor does.
- rockostrich 9y agoIt looks like thumbor is built on a Python stack similar to what Discord was using in their original service. What makes you say they didn't consider it or benchmark it against their previous service and make the decision that it wasn't as good as they needed?
