I’m talking out of my ass, but software devs rarely think about scalability, backup, and high availability.
the one accurate statement in this comment.
No, they absolutely do. The problem is generally affording scalability and high availability. Those aren't just free with the right code. Those are essentially features that need to be paid for by the instance owners. The fact that Lemmy works at the scale it's at is a sign that they pay attention to those things.
25% for accuracy, but 100% for self awareness!
How many software devs do you actually know lmao
