I want to say it's the freedom to self-host, but really it's the CI. Throwing a .gitlab-ci.yml file into my repo is by far the easiest way to get CI/CD incorporated into a product. The configuration of test runners (or lack t

That push towards growth is real across both sides of the developer-administrator spectrum (I know many experienced developers struggling through React/Vue, ETL pipeline tools, or more devops than they'd prefer). Across the board,

For me it's not a framing issue. I get upset by that sentence the minute the total receipt goes above $80/mo. Unlimited internet has been a welcome respite from the inconsistent and unfair pricing of mobile data plans. Seeing that
