I'm not entirely sure you're responding to my main point. The point is that tripling hosting costs is the "99%" naive solution to avoiding outages. The point is that smart people invent cost effective solutions to outage issues that don't involve tripling hosting costs. The point is that "99%" are ignoring these smart technical solutions because they can't do it, but they are still problems nonetheless. The point is that these smart inventors are not "circus jugglers" as derisively described by a parent comment, they provide real value that the "99%" reflexively dismiss because apparently the best solution to outages they can muster is to triple hosting costs, real value that you don't get by just stapling useful shit together. The point is that when someone asks "As one of the 99%. What are some of these problems exactly, that me and my extremely large toolkit of cool things I can curl from Github can't solve?", the answer is "so you can build a cost effective system that doesn't take down the east coast power grid because a single computer goes down". Yeah, reddit is notorious for its downtime issues. They're notorious because it's actually rather unusual in the consumer space to be so bad, they kind of suck compared to the majority of their high tech competitors.
