Not a right or wrong answer here either. Have had 215k+ tech jobs since I was 24 and now 30 making 300k.
I’ve learned it’s now so much the amount you get, but the company culture.
To answer question to OP more directly. Save and invest intelligently and don’t spend what you can’t afford. Been fairly frugal and sitting over 1 mil. My dad had a boring desk job and just retired with same philosophy and currently sitting at 10 mil networth.
He drove a truck for 20 years that he sold for 500 bucks and a crappy car he drove for another 15 years that he sold for 1k.
Not saying you need to enter the extreme to have happiness, but financial growth is like a snowball. Slow and steady
Why not self host grafana and Loki? It’s not hard and the cost for redundancy and backups running on tons of nodes with fast internet isn’t anything new. Much cheaper
My experience is with Kibana and Honeycomb; but in my experience, Grafana, even with Tempo, pales in comparison to the power that the ELK stack or a robust, clean UI’d data aggregator, like Honeycomb is capable of.
Im curious how Tile addresses this concern for the safety of individuals themselves in the opposite direction. I know people who have been stalked and assaulted before. Does tile have protections against this for people hiding tiles in your vehicle or bag?
If it is free, then you are the product. If you need a CDN, there are cheap solutions out there. And Pics should always be delivered from your domain, not from CF.
CF doesn't use you as the product, a la Facebook, Instagram or Google. They try to lure you in with the free tier, and then upsell.
That's a bussiness model that you might like or not, but almost everyone is doing that one way or the other (first X months are free, free tiers, free Comunity Editions, etc.)
