- jiggawatts 1y agoThe worst part is that setting up static web content hosting with something like an Azure blob store, or just a NGINX server somewhere is hilariously trivial. This is an afternoon's effort for the junior intern, but was "too hard" for these people.
- eyegor 1y agoThat costs money to maintain, even if it's just a few bucks a month. I've seen plenty of Chinese companies using mega/gdrive/etc just because it's free. I used to think it was just cheapness, but depending on the company it can be a huge hassle to set up recurring small bill items. At my current company for example, it's much easier to pay $5-10k once than pay $5/mo.
