    Optimizing bandwidth against Amazon

    I'm starting to realize how much of a data hog that Amazon is. Just navigating to their home page on mobile can sometimes reach up 10 MBs transferred. I tried a couple of solutions to help save on the bandwidth: 1.) I only pull down document resource types (text, html, xml, etc.) and any other...

    Unsure how to deploy scraping service

    Ah I see. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's going through this. You mentioned about Docker. Do you have a suggestion for an affordable way to store images? I plan on using Github Actions as my CI/CD pipeline and I want to at least be able to switch out image versions just in case one of the...

    What to do with large cash flow to generate more cash

    Real estate is definitely sounding like one of the ways to go. Although my concern is the rising interest rates. Like I mentioned before, building a site and then flipping it for a profit still requires a significant amount of effort. I need to keep the effort at a minimal while I focus on...

    What to do with large cash flow to generate more cash

    That's a no-go. Too many horror stories of developers rug pulling their investors.

    Will ChatGPT make programmers obsolete? Hell yes. Us programmers should be considering a different career path in the next 3 years. Will that career change will involve programming? Did I satisfy every business person on here because I told them what they wanted to hear? You betcha I lied to...

    [Journey] My foray into lead generation

    [Journey] My foray into lead generation

    It all started from a conversation with a friend about how he managed to make money by manually putting together a speadsheet with business leads by using google search. He managed to sell his list for a $1000. It made me think about how the manual process could be automated and instead spending...

    oof, now that I look back on my last message, that was pretty dumb of me to think that. >.< That would make sense to use something like crypto.

    How do freelancers not get burned when working with a client?

    Just out of curiosity, if say you were operating outside of Upwork and you wanted to prevent a chargeback. Could you do that by having two bank accounts: one that acts as a operating account where it receives payments and another one that is the actual business account where the payment is...
