o get the dns forwarding to work on my modem
Then try again today, and if it still doesn’t work, you can set DNS profiles on your computer.
Any reason to stick to large SD cards? I have a really good experience running a cluster of rpis on USB nvme disks. I got cheap USB 3 nvme pockets and post-market/post-lease nvme disks. 4 rpis have been running like that for more than 3 years now. They boot in about 1 second, don’t have any spikes in energy usage and I don’t worry about writing or reading too much from them. Average read/write time is under 2ms.

Much more a manifesto than a plan. Unless I misunderstood what the plan is in a few steps?
That’s not at all what I meant. Coordination of people is value added too, that totally counts into working hours.
The other reason is, the more employees, the easier it is to get shitty unethical stuff done
That’s the main spirit of what I tried to express. The more people to keep employed, the more ideas you need to justify your existence to the shareholders. The 300 devs aren’t adding new features, aren’t making your app faster, smaller, safer. The last 20 updates with “bugs fixed” in change logs? These bugs were bugs in A/B tests they are running on your device. They aren’t adding any end-user facing value to the app or experience. They are adding new way of tracking, updating existing A/B tests for new remotely controlled flags, adding new A/B tests.
They are squeezing the profit margin from you. You’re paying for it AND are the product.
deliveroo is one of the worst companies in the UK, yet it has massive market share, give that guy the benefit of the doubt https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.deliveroo.co.uk
Without it being said, we knew such things are happening. There are a few 100s of only mobile devs in Uber, while Uber app hasn’t really changed in years, and these devs aren’t creating any user-facing values. Running it must be difficult and a company need a lot of people for it, but there must be some point at which a company stops “disrupting” and just starts optimising and micro-optimising. This is what OP is talking about it, they are micro-optimising budget. There are 100s of them employed, so they must be doing something!
Consider that 300 mobile devs produce close to 1 year of man-hours every day. This is enough time to complete your TODO list of app you always wanted to do. They spend it producing values for shareholders, not you.
Now consider how many devs and experiments like these are done every day on facebook, instagram, X (formerly Twitter) and gmail.

What would happen to low latency trading if exchanges moved to the cloud? (blog.abctaylor.com)
ULL trading firms go to a lot of trouble to get their servers and switches within the same buildings as the exchanges they trade with to reduce latency. Some firms don’t even use layer 1 switches to be competitive.
