5 years ago this was very much true but with serverless services, it drastically lowered the cost of overhead. It is more work but the goal is always to move away from monolith and to reap the benefits. We are past the Backbone.js phase of

btw I hear this a lot from North American/English speaking parts of the world but less in others. There seems to be more tolerance/less judgement towards drinking alcohol, its seen as an integral part of socializing, almost to a f

The other day I was listening to Raoul speak on Real Vision, and apart from his weird angle that crypto will survive this cycle (it wont), he mentions demographic time bomb that is about to hit our Western economy. The basic gist is that ba

very nicely put. at different stages of the poker tournament (time), chips (funds), cards (strategy), your behavior and options drastically differ. and I think back to your point about knowing the buyer being critical. there is also a huge

It need not be mutually exclusive. For instance, poker tournament isn't quite like a game of roulettes, there is skill involved, and there is luck involved. At any given time, the proportion of skill/luck can wildly fluctuate and

If setting up a PostgreSQL behind VPC with an EC2 in front of it was too difficult, there is now a serverless database product from AWS that costs 90% less what it used to. No more load balancers, no more VMs, no more scaling up or down to

With the advent of serverless product offerings, I agree 95% here. The other 5% are on premise, own their own server enterprises, which I know, are rare. It no longer makes sense to spend so much resources on orchestration or distributing a

True true. I'm a bit jaded after being gaslit into spending thousands of dollars on ad networks, one of which convinced me to hand over a few dollars per click that resulted in a bad time. I guess this is my fault, not realizing it w

Even before you get to solve other people's problems, its a competition to even get noticed and that you exist. Literally every advice you hear on SaaS growth, has an implicit understanding that you are past the inflexion point of prod

little do they tell you about the product-market fit lottery and how hard it is to win a bagger. i worked on one saas for years that yielded nothing. i worked on another that took literally a few weeks to make and somehow its gaining tracti

really hate these vulture like slime tactics to go after desperate and gullible people. it just brings tears to my eyes thinking of how shameless people are and how little they think about the after math of their actions. ex) crypto
