I wish we all were using swc.rs by now. Last time I checked it was still relying on nightly rust, but it seems not anymore. This we I saw someone complaining that webpack-dev-server was taking 4.5GB (not a mistake) to "concatenate stri

Using something like GitHub or GitLab brings transparency to the process and that encourages contribution. You can still prevent low-quality contributions with some bot automation (like ensuring a template is followed etc). GNOME project ha

Consider having databases in a separate instance. 2x32GB is better than one 64GB. It's specially important at this size to have git in a different machine than the database as both are I/O constrained.

No one will pay anything if there isn't a thing to buy.
