Mind blown, if you need to handle "big" data on the move - the macbook neo is not the right choice. - Who would have guessed that outcome?

Why does it have to be "fully fledged" - not like most people use the advanced features in office.

It's a procurement fallacy to let a corporation dictate what features should be there and not.

Its fine to have fun with self-hosting.

The problem is when self-hosting amateur stuff leaks into professional life.

And then you have a expert beginner pushing their homelab/Self-hosting

I have read many of this types of blog posts about 10x, good engineers and such.

The only thing I have learned during my close to 30 years of professional experience is how incredible rare they are. The really good engineers in IT.

They are so rare so MOST people will never work with even one. That is how rare they are.

And a "Blogger, Writer, Philospher" - have probably never worked with one, and never will. Because they are in a whole different sphere of engineering.

The number of systems is increasing explonentially - the number of truely good engineer is pretty much a constant number.

Using ebpf, perf and flamegraphs would let him find this in a couple of hours. That was not available for him in 2015 tho.

Useless

Varnish is not better in any shape or form than nginx for static content. Varnish has one single usecase, php-sites. - For everything else it will just add a layer of complexity that give no gains. And since varnish is essentially built on apache there is some issues with how it handles connections above about 50k/sec - where it gets complicated to configure, something that nginx does not have.

Seeing how they don't even seem to have a terraform module, I would say this will not grow to anything.
