I know this article is about the stack, but I'd like to point out that the success of the author has probably more to do with their marketing/sales strategy than their choice of technical infrastructure.
Something to remind to many tech folks on HN
100% true. I ran a top 10 most visited Spanish language site on a Pentium III server. I have the technical chops to do all the articles says.
But 10k MRR sounds to me like travelling to Mars. I have 0 ideas and 0 initiative to push them ahead.
True. But he’s able to do marketing because he has the money, time and sense of priorities to do so.
The moral of the story is: Don’t be (another) fool, your tech stack is not your priority.
Is it success or is the author running a 20k ad program to get 10k MRR. Such a useless metric.
