Sharing some lessons I learned from 10 years/millions of users in production. I’ll be in the comments if anyone has any questions!

I hope this series will be useful to the self-hosted and small web crowds—tips for tools to pick and the basics of server management.

    I can offer some constructive tips to you as well: dont speak for all of us.

    I liked the article. I didn’t interpret it as “everyone must do what I say”. It was simply a viewpoint from a person on the internet. That is what a blog is.

    The complexity of tech stacks have increased enormously in the last 10 years, and it’s only sane to see what tradeoffs we are making to be able to scale easily. Perhaps it’s not worth the trouble for 90% of us. If we follow best practice from cloud providers without thinking for ourselves, we will not learn to think for ourselves either.

    So let’s do that. Let’s think, wrote blogs, discuss, and allow for discussions. Don’t shut people down.

      Wow, nobody should ever say anything then unless they’re on the right side of everyone else’s opinion or else they might be speaking for everyone. Great tip.

        You just criticized the OP for the exact same thing.

          I criticized the WRITING of what turned out to be the OP for not having any content in their posted piece aside from a complaint about something. Never said he was wrong to feel how we feels about whatever.
