No context on the order size, so we can't really say whether that's the case or not :-) Maybe it was a $5,000 order for the whole office! Or maybe it was a $50 at-home binge.

Haha, my first thought as well. Went ahead and just starred the Github page and I'll run it locally if I ever care to use it.

I haven't touched Android development in... Maybe 7 years? And even then, wasn't really in the trenches. I have to imagine boat loads have changed since then. If I wanted to poke around with some hobby projects, where would be the

I don't disagree with it that at all. By all means, we should be doing our best not to waste resources. Just stating that the waste was only 5% of the total savings.

Eh, you're pulling a quote out of context. It's 27% reduction in EC2 use, which was only 18.5% total. So this only accounted for ~5% of total savings.

Bit of a bummer - This is precisely what I was doing pretty much my whole tech career: First landed a job in California, turned it into a remote gig, and then all jobs thereafter were remote with either NYC or SF pay while I bummed around i

More choice is always better, in my opinion. So I'd prefer flexibility to be WFH. My first "real" job had WFH options for T/H which I regularly took advantage of, and from April 2014 on I've been 100% remote. I rode

There's been a Shopify->Facebook/Instagram integration for ages. Personally, I found it to be pretty garbage - but I'm sure they've gained a ton of data while running it. Facebook Shop just sounds like the next evolut

I just want an off-site backup for humanity. Sure, it's high latency and the restoration process takes forever - but it's something!

Phenomenal! Thank you! I've personally just switched from Chrome to Brave. Funnily enough, Chrome was causing my computer to seize all the time while Brave does not, even though it's still built on Chromium. But I took the opportu

Huh, hadn't considered this. But it absolutely makes sense. United Fruit Co. used to be larger than Google in today-dollars. "The Fish That Ate the Whale" by: Rich Cohen is a phenomenal read.

Took a very quick glance at this. I expect that it's limited to those that are running Shopify POS, rather than all Shopify stores.

No idea. Generally reserved instances will give you 30-75% off though, I believe. This is for a hobby project, so no way I'm committing to that, haha. I'm also building the architecture so that I can easily completely destroy it a

Thanks! Aware of Lightsail - But I'm experienced with AWS so have no trouble with, and prefer, the full feature set. I would've gone with Digital Ocean, otherwise.

Certainly nothing powerful :-) I can get away with t3.nano and t3.micro for what I'm doing at the moment. But the beauty of cloud, is that I can scale up when I eventually need it. 5x t3.nano will be ~$25/mo 5x t3.micro will be ~$

What's the time trade-off? I've been drawing out my plans lately for a hobby project, all 100% on AWS. Being able to spin up my entire infrastructure with Terraform, build out images with Packer, setup rules for off-site backups,

Reading through the comments, sounds like it's a blip. But yeesh - would've been just my luck! I'm in the process of putting together my de-Google plan lately.

So, digging into this a bit further. He started 35 years ago as an intern - so the contract period that would have given him this incentive is much, much shorter. Muilenburg started as CEO in 2015 and ended in 2019. So that's a 4-year

Too true. As an SBO with many other entrepreneurial friends, I regularly have the conversation that they need to spend money if they want to scale at any reasonable rate. I generally don't blink at software <$50/mo, even up to
