I went into this article strongly disagreeing but I think the alternative presented at the end are valid ways to structure an API and for those who very loosely follow REST structuring would probably consider the alternatives "REST" too.
REST seems to have different definitions depending who you talk to. Some define it very strictly (as the opening of the article seems to do) and others define it very loosely (as a JSON interface with GET/POST/etc commands). For those who implement REST loosely, the suggested alternatives fit right in.

It appears to now have been resolved. It was down for over 30 minutes. For most of that time, the status page was not accessible at all and when it did finally become accessible, it displayed no major problems.

I've built TwitRiv that does exactly this. It is open source where you can use your own API key and then there is a hosted version (the hosted version would not use your own API key but you authenticate with OAuth2).

TwitRiv.com is part of my 12 Startups in 12 Months Challenge (Open Source Edition).
It is inspired by the simplicity of Nitter.net but it uses the official Twitter V2 API. It has the benefit of allowing you to connect directly with your account so you can see users you actually follow on the main timeline, but that also means it has limitations imposed by the official API limits.

This is a really great breakdown of the TCP slow start algorithm. I always try to keep sites as lean as possible, but this was an aspect of TCP that I wasn't familiar with but will definitely be keeping it in mind in the future.

I started working like this in the summer of 2017 so I'm right at the 5 year mark with this setup (I actually need to get a new device and DO's prices have remained the same - I think they've actually gotten cheaper and I'm on a more expensive plan - $5 vs now they have a $4 option).
Due to my client work, I need an online test server so I'd be paying for a test VPS either way.
Being able to open my Chromebook and tmux into any project in about ~15 seconds provides enormous productivity gains for me. Not sure if I mentioned this previously, but I'm a freelance developer and sometimes juggling 6-8 clients at a time so being able to pull up any project at any time from any device with SSH access is very powerful for me.
