    My experience has been it is way over priced. It costs over $40/month for a 1CPU/1GB RAM node while linode, amongst others is $5 + $20 for a load balancer. I noticed in the google …

    Not scraping but banks don't even do this for their security which I found surprising. I just finished building a chrome extension ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/uyp-f…

    This sounds like more of an issue with technical debt management. I'm much more of a proponent of Kanban, whenever possible, so in this case if a user story requires a refactor or …

    I tried that with a so called credit checking agency in the UK called "Credit Expert". These [scumbags] deserve a Dark Pattern gold star. To see your credit score you have to sign …

    That my plan too. By using dual clouds (again in UK and US), we're getting the highest failover protection we can afford. I can't afford our e-commerce platform to be down and the …
