@DannPetty The rule is simple, if you agreed to work on a project you should do your best, regardless of the budget
Just because someone has less $$$ to spend doesn't mean they should get worse work from you
This very much could be true. But not only that. People are saturated with too much irrelevant and unimportant informations. It is time people turn to important things. People are wasting too much of their time on social networks.
This is Chamath Palihapitiya.
He’s the billionaire VC who scaled Facebook to 1B users.
And recently, he declared that “Social media is dead.”
5 predictions on the future of social media (and why you need to invest in the creator economy instead):
I really do think self hosting software is becoming a lost art.
I get that the world we need is one where we have a lot of application developers, a somewhat fewer number of ops folks, and an even fewer number of infra folks who understand how the OS works, and an even fewer number who manage hardware. (feel free to keep going lower)
The issue is that more and more people are using proprietary CLIs to deploy code to black boxes. This has lowered the barriers for newcomers, and also resulted in an erosion in ops knowledge.
It's surely unreasonable for me to expect that every single web developer is able to run nginx and letsencrypt to serve a portfolio site. But everything from "hosting Next.js yourself as a nodejs application is a huge pain" to "what do I do next with this Jupyter notebook" is a direct result of that erosion.
Please learn how to self host software. It's easier than it looks, and it will teach you a lot about how computers work.
Don't QT me saying "this mf said don't use Vercel, run your saas on a colocated U2". I'm saying please ALSO learn how to self host software, whether that is on borrowed cloud hardware or in your own closet.
We've gone #NoBuild on the CSS with https://t.co/ztyykJieTg. 21 individual CSS files, all fetch concurrently over http/2. No transpiling, no bundling, no need. Just raw HTML and CSS, deployed with Kamal/Skiff. You don't need a build pipeline to work with the web ✌️
