That’s no better than Windows (without a lot of effort and a constant game of cat and mouse only achievable by technical users). At least Google’s cloud services tend to actually b…

If you can get that 5k/month down to let's say 1k, that's a saving of 48k over the course of a year. You can get a consultant/freelancer for half that sum that'll happily do it for…

Then you'd have people run extension cords across the border and selling their cheap electricity at inflated prices to their freezing neighbor.

The parent's experience which mirrors my own - on a clean residential IP that hasn't sent any traffic I hit that "rate-limit" on my first request to the commits list view. So there…

Yeah this is just typical techbro gaslighting. There is no rate-limit and hasn't been for years (it's just default deny), but they refuse to change the wording to reflect.

But unless you're on a PaaS, you have "infrastructure engineers" already. So why not at least let them make back their salary by making them built a cost-efficient infrastructure?

> they said they must show they are on Hyperscaling cloud. This is the main reason; and it applies to developers (they need cloud buzzwords on their resume), it applies to managers…

Unless we're talking actual PaaS (Heroku, Render, Railway, etc), the cloud also needs a dedicated skillset, so "cloud" doesn't remove the need from a sysadmin. If you can get (and …

You can also put these lambdas on a shared hosting provider as CGIs and get the exact same experience.

There's a multibillion dollar industry that lives only because they managed to successfully convince an entire generation of "engineers" to become helpless and not be able to serve…

Here's a low-tech approach: an SMS/WhatsApp/Telegram bot. You can just text it the info and even the location. This means all the logic is server-side and nothing on the client.

A shared AirTag could probably take care of the location issue easily. I assume that in this scenario with exclusively trusted users, trading off privacy for the convenience might …

That cuts both ways though. Nobody is coming after you unless it is worth their legal department's time (which cost much more than your own lawyer).

LLM slop.

Wouldn't using a coding agent to build a screenscraper be better?

Don't pawn shops already solve this problem? Make your way there, dump your stuff, get peanuts for it in exchange (but might still be worth it if you truly don't need said stuff).

Same as for all those "get rich quick" and "double your money" scams: if it was any good you'd use it to trade yourself instead of giving it away.

Do you know how to break into such fields, for someone having experience operating on-prem infra at a smaller scale?

Lie and ChatGPT your resume to hell. Use those interview cheating tools to pass the bullshit interviews that will be thrown at you. Your competition is doing it, there is no reason…

To be clear, this was developing software running on *nix environments, and they were all using Mac (or WSL) and the usual open-source *nix dev tools. This is not a case of develop…

They know that it's a magic box into which you paste whatever incantation is in the README.md or spoonfed to you by an LLM, but otherwise have no mental model of how it works. Hell…
