    One popular tech site in Russian was invite-only for a very long time: https://habr.com I remember you could get in by someone inviting you or if you wrote a good guest post (there…

    If I'd drive a car, which is a dangerous thing on its own, I'd be for minimizing the risks of harming someone or myself. My current mitigation of this risk is not driving a car at …

    The API gateway quotas look broken for me. I raised the limit to 5000 keys but it looks like the standard limit of 500 applies. Which is strange because I have more than 500 API ke…

    I kind of agree, and I think nowadays it's hard to promote a product on the Internet or even get noticed without putting a lot of effort. When the Internet was smaller, I guess it'…

    So you are saying, basically, if there was Unix why do we have Windows since no one asked for it. On the positive side, running your own website or a forum is now easier than ever.…

    I feel the entire post is missing the two main points: 1) No one would bother creating these free services if they could not draw massive revenue streams out of it. If the returns …
