How do you know it wasn't a good use of the money? The client's site has been up for a year since then without any issues for 1/4th of the cost. Their investment in this stack wasn't much. Hiring wasn't a BIG proble

Safe to say they would've gone out of business if they kept burning that kind of money for the remainder of the year. This was around covid era, they didn't have a solid revenue stream from the traffic they got.

I'm obviously not going to reveal actual numbers, but it's safe to they spent less than what they would have spent being on Wordpress for the remainder of the year. Time to completion is 3 months. No new "feature" develo

Author nowhere mentions about the bitrate or what constitutes as "high quality" and what constitutes as "low quality". Would be helpful to have this info.

Yeah, I agree with you for the most part. And this argument comes up a lot. The difference is we're not Amazon yet. We don't have the same levels of user engagement, loyalty and whatever metrics that makes Amazon a success. To the

I disagree. How did 1-5mb become an acceptable size to ship to your users? That's actually quite a lot. In a slow connection, this isn't even going to load anything except a blank screen for such a long time.

Just curious, as an avid user of Elixir lang, which has most of these anyway, what should be a compelling reason for someone like me to start using Crystal (more)? Thank you

Here's a counter argument - API access is just one aspect of Facebook selling user data, as far as I know, Facebook will license its data via customized methods (eg. a custom API) if you pay a fee for its access. There are even vendors

Then don't borrow what you can't afford to pay back? When you borrow money from someone, you explicitly enter a contract with a legal understanding that you will pay it off back in a stipulated time. When you go back on your word,
