A lot of these "hating" comments remind me of the ones I read in ~2006-2007 when kids were making $100,000/month from AdSense and Yahoo! Ads by throwing up simple MySpace layout websites with graphics.

Don’t forget to deploy all that code to the edge. Your $5 VPS in NY running both nginx and MySQL is going to be a huge bottle neck when somebody in Texas tries to view your simple website and it takes .10 seconds longer to load. You’re goin
