Oh my - so, it's actually a lot more complicated than that. Let me run it through for you: - You have to build enough of a retry algorithm so that you start renewing well in advance of the expiration date. - You then have to build the

Implementing support for LetsEncrypt SSL does have a cost associated with it, particularly at scale. I think restricting the feature to paid users is totally reasonable, particularly since it's still vastly cheaper than getting a trad

I think it's that people assumed (as I did) that everyone would say, "Well, of course, there's not "no servers", because that would be like saying "computerless" or "processorless", but it is pra

So - I'm definitely not willing to go as far as the GP was with their statement, but Oracle's database technology is pretty amazing. I love postgres, Spark, NoSQL, etc. and think the progress they have made is amazing, but Oracle

Enterprise customers are also vastly more sticky and vastly less price-conscious than a consumer/retail customer. I completely agree about the sales cycle part, but it's amazing how locked-in enterprise customers will allow thems

Services are the worst route for a software company to go down. There's little to no economies of scale, they have no inherent advantage over other consulting companies beyond their brand, and companies are always looking to cut consu

But let's say you have a 50k 401k that you can borrow against in an emergency, and a 50k index fund - that's 75k in liquidity that you have available to you with a few days notice. 100k in the bank sitting there is getting you ma
