About rozenmd
I started OnlineOrNot in early 2021: https://onlineornot.com
There's no massive team, no investors looking for growth at any cost, just me, running a self-funded, sustainable business from France.
Open invitation to talk shop: you can always reach me at max@onlineornot.com
---
I also blog about running a SaaS: https://maxrozen.com
---
I'm a Software Engineer originally from Sydney, Australia with a passion for the Internet.
I've worked at Atlassian and am now at Cloudflare, building the Workers platform.

The job has never been about "writing code". You're there to solve problems for the business. I'd reach out to people you've worked with before and ask if they need help.

I used to keep all of OnlineOrNot's timeseries data entirely in a hot postgres db with the rest of the relational data. Used to take a few seconds to get a week's uptime data and d…

Something doesn't add up between the pricing and the core pinning for me (or maybe I misunderstood): Say you're using a m8i.large (2 vCPUs, $0.043/hr on spot pricing). Is the artic…

I worked on a project that used yarn from the early days all the way up to v3, it's slow as hell, but it works. They also have the supply chain protections. Eventually we snapped a…
