Blog by David Heinemeier Hansson https://world.hey.com/dhh/why-we-re-leaving-the-cloud-654b47e0
1. He’s a Danish programmer, and the Creator of Ruby on Rails
2. He is also co-founder of both Basecamp and HEY

6. Middle of the scale:
  1. Workloads that have consistent traffic, and stable growth
7. Cost vs Complexity
  1. A lot of server hardware could be bought for half a million a year
  2. Argument being, managing those servers.
  1. Half a million spend for HEY per year.
  2. But how true is that, really?
8. And then there’s centralization…
1. Who is David Heinemeier Hansson https://dhh.dk/?
2. So what about this post.

Started a new hacky project on the jeep. Or, at least started planning it and getting parts together anyway.
