I love SQLite and have ran it even on networked drives with queued writes for read-heavy applications. It’s an incredibly robust piece of software that’s often cost me pennies per month to serve 100k+ monthly users. But there’s definitely a time and place for solid, dedicated database servers like Postgres.

#193Do these things actually work? I've seen way too many gurus on twitter claiming to make 10K+ MRR every month. And then they quietly start applying for jobs. or selling courses instead of cashing in.
Right? I’m not buying it. Seems like personal PR post.
Why care so much about so little operating costs when your earning so much?

#194I decided to look at their website halfway through the post, https://imgur.com/a/7M4PdO6 This is really what 10k mrr can get you? A badly designed AI slop website that isn't even mobile correctly compatible. The logo is white background on black website like a university project. I can't believe that people are willingly spending money on this.
You'd be surprised at the amounts household name companies spend on broken software. I've personally seen multiple companies spend tens of thousands paying just for the opportunity to evaluate the broken software. And I don't mean the time taken for their own employees to spend doing the evaluation. I mean that plus forking over large piles of cash.

#195> I bought a GitHub Copilot subscription in 2023, plugged it into standard VS Code, and never left. I tried Cursor and the other fancy forks when they briefly surpassed it with agentic coding, but Copilot Chat always catches up. > Here is the trick that you might have missed: somehow, Microsoft is able to charge per request, not per token. And a "request" is simply what I type into the chat box. Even if the agent spe…
The author refers to gpt 4o and sonnet 3.5 as SOTA. I’d take the AI tips with a grain of salt tbh. But I’d love it if it’s true

#197There are zero reasons to limit yourself to 1GB of RAM. By paying $20 instead of $5 you can get at least 8gb of RAM. You can use it for caches or a database that supports concurrent writes. The $15 difference won’t make any financial difference if you are trying to run a small business. Thinking about on how to fit everything on a $5 VPS does not help your business.
Or better yet, go with a euro provider like Hetzner and get 8GB of RAM for $10 or so. :) Even their $5 plan gives 4GB.
They also have servers in the US (east and west coast).

#19820$ vs 300$ does not really matter if you have multiple 10K MRR.
It isn’t 10k MRR from day one. It also doesn’t make sense to think “well, now that I’m a big boy let’s move to a fancy stack , even if there is no need for it”

#200This is similar to what I do. Linode, Debian, Go, HTMX, SQLite (with modernc.org/SQLite so I have no CGO dependency) and Caddy. If I have apps that need a lot of storage, I just add an S3 bucket.
