- hombre_fatal 8y agoWell, even if we were talking about how to build scalable servers (we aren't), I feel like that's some sad, judgy gatekeeping to suggest that one needs to apply those same principles to their own blog else they need to receive such condescension in the comments. It's like saying a real engineer builds their own blog. I wouldn't waste a single second of my life doing so, and the money I'm willing to spend on it reflects that as well. It comes off as petty, to me, to judge someone on this. For example, I'm paid $100k/year to build scalable servers, not my cheap Wordpress blog.

- untog 8y agoI disagree with that one. Reinforcing your personal blog with a CDN would be a waste of money 99% of the time. It's also backend engineering, not frontend.
- iaml 8y agoCloudflare has a free tier.
- untog 8y agoEven still. I spend all day working on this stuff, I definitely can't be bothered to do even more of it when I get home, so I won't blame anyone else that doesn't.
- laurent123456 8y agoJust host it on GitHub with your own domain. It's free, robust, and it means you can change the hosting if you ever want to.
