This Was Not The Brag That DHH Thought It Was

This Was Not The Brag That DHH Thought It Was

When DHH (creator of Ruby on Rails) bragged about HEY's infrastructure being so efficient that peak traffic could run on a single Raspberry Pi, he probably expected applause. Instead, he accidentally admitted that his "revolutionary" email service gets about as much traffic as your uncle's fishing blog.

Sure, efficiency is great and all, but when you're flexing about minimal resource usage, you're also telling everyone your user base could fit in a Discord server. It's like bragging that your restaurant is so efficient you only need one stove... because you only serve three customers a day.

The real kicker? A Raspberry Pi costs like $35. That's not a flex about optimization—that's a self-own about scale.
