I'm pretty close to reaching their free tier's cap on outgoing bandwidth. They only give you 100 GB.
To buy another 100 GB I would have to pay $20 per month (4x as expensive).
Also I don't feel comfortable basing my entire business on Netlify. My blog and course landing pages are how I earn a living. It's the same reason why I don't use GitHub pages. I just don't like the idea of having to adhere to their TOS (even if I'm not doing anything wrong) and also be limited to their free tier's traffic constraints.
I'm sure they are a good company and I wish nothing but the best for them but I just don't see them as a good fit for me given the above.
How do you view your Netlify usage while on the free tier? Your comment made me curious about my own usage, but I can't see a way to determine my current usage through the Netlify website.
According to my DO stats I average ~60 GB per month in outgoing transfer.
I guess it's because I have a lot of photo gallery images of travel trips and they get caught up in image search results. I'm not sure why it's so high to be honest.
It is going to go up quite a lot too because now that I have a podcast, each episode is around ~50MB for the mp3. I might end up putting the mp3s on a CDN in the end. Probably DO Spaces.
These two don't play nice together. That is you can't use cloudflare as a CDN and netlify without netlify complaining to you about not being able to provision your ssl.
What do you think about getting a Masters degree in a non-specialized field (e.g. Software Engineering and not Artificial Intelligence) while having a Bachelors degree already? I am currently at the crossroads of going into work, a masters degree or both. Am also currently an intern at a FAANG atm.
I did my masters while working. My job at the time paid for it, and there was a good school in the area. I found it fun because I was exposed to things I wouldn't have gotten exposed to in my job (programming language design, automata theory, etc...), but those things also didn't change my salary or future job prospects.
If you find learning in a structured environment fun and can get someone else to pay for it, a masters may be right for you :)
Ordinary people would absolutely use an app that lives in the menu bar/system tray, has a Safeway login page and a "run on startup" option, and once a day does magic stuff in the background that adds all the available online coupons.
Right but now Safeway will update something that will cause this to break, and now people who use this super handy app will expect the maintainer to update it - even if it was just a one-off project that the original developer had no interest in maintaining.
So now people will complain and your inbox is flooded with "please fix this" because people feel entitled when all you really wanted to do was just try some cool thing.
That's probably what he did though. I like Puppeteer more than Selenium FWIW, especially because Node.js allows you to prototype a lot quicker than other languages imo.
