Right, but you missed the salient point: it also does not make sense for files smaller than about 200KB.

I primarily wanted to note that I used 2^X notation in the math, in case it was confusing for folks. I used KB/MB/GB to be consistent with the language AWS uses on their S3 pricing…

If you write a AWS-native service that uses S3 as a back end (a very reasonable thing to do), it may create many small files in S3. It would be unreasonable to incur the costs to r…

I agree with the premise that the author is challenging. However.. "Better to have something clean, typographical, and timeless than a powerpoint cliché." -- the article Two cute s…

Popularity begets popularity. I evaluated a ClearCase replacement in early 2012 for a large company, and Git is clearly the "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" SCM. I looked at …

It sounds pretty good - but I wonder what you're doing now, given the post is written in the past tense?

If I wasn't living it I would believe this to be The Onion or something out of 1984.

Freshbooks is great for long-term clients. I don't think it's adequate for one-off invoicing in an e-commerce type situation.
