Just as a basic sanity check, they claim to store 560 million pages of pure HTML. Internet Archive estimates the median HTML weight of a page to be ~20kb, which I fudged to 30kb in order to make a liberal estimate. Multiplied by the number

Honestly compared to all other cloud platforms I've used I find AWS documentation to be amazing. I use AWS all day every day in my job and the only resource I've needed 95% of the time is the AWS docs. It's my first and last

I agree with you so much that it's difficult for me to convey. The magnitude of both the upside of good governance as well as the downside of bad governance is so great that it amazes me that we have so few pro-society incentives for c

It's not a factor of how long it took you to make it, but the value of it to the end user. If (in a contrived example) it took you 1 hour to create but saved the end user many hundreds of hours of expensive labor, it could be worth a g
