I like this. Using Twilio and other similar tools to send texts has become too hard lately - especially given all the verifications you need to go through.

Thanks for sharing!

You think we are disagreeing, meanwhile I just love how much I've learned (and confirmed) thanks to your replies. Thanks for sharing!

Have you actually been using it for 15 years?

My guess is not, or you would have a different opinion. But that's just a guess

AppEngine today is wildly different to the App Engine I fell in love with 15 years ago.

Since you're checking notes, please check out all the AE service deprecation notes.

Disclosure: I worked for Google for ~10 years, and I fought internally many of those deprecation decisions. I did not succeed.

Looking at that source, there's a pretty straightforward explanation of where the page views come from.

- Last month, Stack Overflow had ~142,575,642 visits.

- Last month, Google gave 127,896,508 visits to Stack Overflow

- Last month, Bing gave 7,491,274 visits to Stack Overflow

You could say that the Stack Overflow # of pageviews depends mainly on:

- How often people are searching Google/Bing for answer.

- How often Google/Bing rank Stack Overflow high enough for people to click into it.

I hear what you say. But does it change anything?
