I don’t think it’s parody. I’ve never heard of vercel. If I wanted to build this, I’d: (1) turn on an ec2 host (2) write a Python script to serve the image (degrading it on every call) (3) configure nginx to ffi to the script.

Meanwhile vercel is literally “now”. Like all you need to do is cd to the directory and type “now” and press enter. https://docs.ycombinator.lol https://docs.ycombinator.lol has been running for years without fail. It’ll probably shut off someday and be lost to history, but I’d bet on it lasting a lot longer than that ec2 instance. Free, too.

  I'm not sure how you are getting past the writing a python script part... Vercel looks to be some service that deploys pre-built apps (geared towards nodejs/react, hard pass).

    Your hate towards nodejs/react is making you blind to opportunities.

      I used nodejs for over five years. It is not blindness...
