There’s plenty of lightweight minimal web servers with minimal dependencies.

But hang on is dependency anxiety really the reason or did you just make that up?

The thing I love most about caddy is it automatically does all the ssl certificate garbage which is so painful in every other web server ever. Yes certbot makes it less painful but it’s still a big PITA, unlike caddy where SSL is just like magic.

Interesting but why? There’s a bazillion web servers out there, surely one of them can do the job?

What have I missed?

This article made no sense. The example were unrelated to the thesis being put forward. It had nothing to do with making a killer product.

Not directly related, but I tried Amazons ARM based ec2 instances. The servers randomly hung.

A year or two later I tried again - the servers randomly hung.

I went back to Intel CPUs.

This is a very strange justification for having an obnoxiously loud vehicle.

If you want to be seen wearing bright leds.

Microsoft shut off their documentation in favor of MDN.
Comment · 5 years ago
With all the uncountable billions of dollars in the banks of Apple, Microsoft, Google etc, none of them can manage to come up with documentation to compete with MDN which has to go freemium to be viable.

Presumably that’s because they can’t link your identity to it or something, making it nit worthwhile doing.

Apple: “we’re a hardware company, it’s not our job to document the web”

Microsoft: “Internet Explorer failed, it’s not our job to document the web”

Google : “we’re a advertising company, it’s not our job to document the web”.

Facebook... etc

Amazon ... etc

And so on ...

I once got a credit card statement that told me I would be able to pay off my credit card in 100,000 years.

It was discouraging.
