lumoson PSA: Stop starting startups on Firestore

Document dbs, like crypto cycles, keep coming in and out of the zeitgeist...why? I just don't understand how purportedly smart engineers keep falling for the same traps over and over

lumoson Ask HN: Why is Vercel so expensive?

I guess I should rephrase, a true enterprise plan may make sense to cost that much. I think the gap for Vercel seems to be in the in-between stage. They have plans that are super cheap or free for small hobby projects, and the expensive enterprise plan. Not much in between for when you're growing.

The other dilemma for them seems to be in capturing true enterprise customers...if you have those resources, you might just decide to build out your own dev ops/infra team instead of paying big markups on AWS/Cloudflare bills.

Is the fund actually owned by OpenAI the company or OpenAI the non-profit? I thought it was a separate entity that basically had the name and Sam's ownership attached, and was owned and operated separately.
