Need a consultant, strategic thinking, architecture or tech advice, coaching/ mentoring or documentation written up?

A hour, a couple of hours or something more regular but flexible?

This would be a side thing but could look to see how much time ongoing would best serve the request.

Long list of tech. I don’t write code much anymore but this is changing as I look to build a SaaS.

Have you considered that perhaps they are trying to extend the conversation and get you to continue speaking?

Maybe they’re shy. I’ve heard of this somewhere, that you try keep the convo going by replaying.

Have you tried responding with a “yeah have you been to the noodle place downstairs?


I use Jekyll. Downloaded some theme and fixed it to my liking.

It works for me. You may wish to give it a try, or try one of these https://jamstack.org/generators/


Your username is risk taker!

Take the risk!

Actually, seriously, how did you come up with the idea, and did you test it with anyone?


What is your web stack? Is it possible to put it on S3 with cloudfront in front?


I'm running a Common Lisp webserver with (I believe) nginx in front. It's fairly low maintenance, but it is dynamic web content (the entire point is to generate names on request), so I unless the CDN has some sort of function interface, I don't see how that would work.


If you can rewrite that part of it as a JS function, you can probably host it as a free or very very cheap serverless function on Cloudflare or Vercel. Either would also be able to host the static parts of your site for free or very cheap.

Vercel is a AWS and other cloud whitelabeler. Cloudflare has their own networks.


What about offloading the dynamic parts to a lambda and just static the rest like I suggested above?

You may need to port to another language for the lambda fn though


Yeah, the static portion is trivial. The trouble with the dynamic portion is that I use a proprietary C/C++ library that I'd have to replace. I suppose in this day and age I ought to be able to do better with some of the modern deep learning techniques that are available, but I haven't been able to invest the effort to figure that out yet.


Did you start one?

Just start.
