This is the equivalent of a guy building a "car" in his backyard with old used parts, then saying it was only 1% of the cost of a new Mercedes, and everybody thinks now that Mercedes is 100x overpriced.
Also the "calculation" is totally wrong. A guy with lots of enthusiam and masses of free time rebuild existing tech stacks in plain PHP (!) and JS (!), two of the slowest languages on the planet. That alone should debunk the whole story. Comparing ANY logic in PHP vs C (nginx) is just nuts and ChatGPT should know it.
Interesting hobby project, and maybe even a profitable one if you find niche clients, but obviously far far away from the definition of a 0.01% engineer.
No, please WATCH IT! It's important to learn how reality really is. This is the process of using 100% of available information. You have been trained to block, censor and avoid everything that doesnt do good on you, but it's extremely important to open your eyes as wide as possible, and let your brain process this, then build conclusions on this data.
I agree to your logic, but scanning social media gives a totally different view: People feel like they need to take action now. The murder of the ukranian girl set a social fire, and the killing of charlie kirk put gasoline over it. You can feel the rage. I've never seen so many upvotes and likes for quite radical opinions like in the last hours on TikTok and X.
