Web UI vs SSH is hardly the problem. More often, it's setting the environment set up on the remote server that's a terrible pain, then you have to set up domains and ssl and all that nonsense. TL;DR configuration is pain to do man

ok, then how do you increase server storage with minimum downtime? say you're in a cloud environment, specifically AWS

Volumes are convenient! But what do you do if you have a multi-host setup? Multiple volumes, shared volumes, distributed file systems, NFS? What do you use when?

Your logic and reasoning seems to be all correct except for one thing... "Better languages" don't necessary succeed. I mean, just look at PHP and Javascript... Would you say that they were doomed to succeed because of their l

Don't underestimate the power of simple JS and Rails

you're right, I didn't see that perspective.

my point is, there's no need for the cathartic negativity in form of a blog post. 1. these companies actually do provide valuable services that we are better off for 2. an overwhelmingly negative blog post addresses the problem but not

Why don't you start better companies? Show them wrong. Don't just sit at your laptop, complain about how bad all these popular, massively used services are. If you don't like it, leave and make it better.

You can try Appcubator, although we don't have much in terms of resources at the moment. We're making it drastically easier to turn ideas into web/mobile software, while keeping the comfort of existing open-source frameworks.

The point is that there is a long list of variables more important to get right than the decision to have beer at the office, and getting those variables set correctly would be MUCH more significant than the Beer variable. So just eliminate
