My reasoning here is this: it should not be legal to provide pricing when the customer already owes and has no choice to go elsewhere. That price should be zero. Capitalism is playing with supply and demand. Holding people hostage is not it

I understand the value of all the PaaS and SaaS, but I could never get 100% behind them, even when they started. The highest I ever went was DigitalOcean (so IaaS). I tried some layers on top, lime serverpilot (automated php hosting on your

Keep your db outside the cluster. Use a managed db or just host it on its own server. You should be doing that even if not using k8s anyway. Don’t share memory and cpu with your db. Regarding storage, try to build stateless apps that only n

Why not both, make money and benefit people. I think that’s what earning money means. Otherwise you’re just making money at someone else’s cost.

Pay more, no matter how unreasonable it is because you can afford it. You’re living in the US bubble, where VC funded startups feed each other in often unsustainable ways. People were taught this argument to keep the wheel spinning. The rig

Crashing is your tell? It could be crashing every minute and you likely would not be able to tell. State can be saved, you could even be reset with some memory missing and you would not notice. Do you think your videogame characters go “hol

It’s probably more dangerous for you not to ditch your bike than it is to stay on it when collision is eminent? I can’t confirm this though, but most times I’ve seen an experienced person fall off a bike, they don’t stay on it.

I run my own cluster on bare metal. My control plane runs on 3 separate notes over a Postgres db. So that part is as solid as the managed solutions. Thank God no ETCD. However, I have been burned many times by keeping critical infra things

Maybe they have, but Onlyfans would not be able to complain if Stripe decided to kick them out for that. It would be at their discretion. I think what you want is consistency, but companies, and even governments have shown us we cannot expe

The knives argument holds no water. I think Stripe would be in the right regarding NSFW content as it relates to their TOS (maybe at fault for using outdated info and not communicating with you so you didn’t have to find out this reason on

There’s some level of gaslighting going on here. It’s is possible for stripe to want to serve SMBs and also not have the resources to provide the necessary support an SMB needs when their account is in trouble in a timely manner. I’ve worke

I don’t think this is a valid argument. Airbnb specifically calls out including cleaning fees in these total, but this is something that affects small owners by default. The choice of cracking down on cleaning fees but not on resort fee? Pu

With everything I have to manage in my infra, clickhouse is another db I don't want to add to the list of moving parts, so I settled with Umami, which uses postgres, which I already use for most of my projects.

I agree this is ideal, but my point is, there were instances where you try to cleanup, and you end up pulling an infinite thread because the feature you're working on is stacked on top of 10 other features, each of which were duct tape
