I learned nothing. Most of this seems like common basic advice, wrapped up in AI written paragraphs...

Initially from the title, I thought it would be about brainstorming and launching a successful idea, and that sort of thing.

Usually when there's "on a [low] $/mo" you'll hear basic advice. You'd be surprised to find out many folks are not aware of this!

Well, there's also the "How we saved $10M/mo by actually paying attention to indexes" trope.

If you feel like it: start a blog! You have knowledge that you consider basic and a certain other subset of the population is interested in it and doesn't know it exists.

I think it's good. I've definitely seen resource inflation exactly that OP is alluding to in enterprise. A desire to have some huge cloud based solution with AWS, spark bla bla when a python script with pandas in a cron job was faster.

I gladly spend $5k a month if I could make $10k. I too need to figure out how to start the "making XXX a month" part.

Dead giveaway

Maybe it's tongue-in-cheek.

Upon rereading, I'd agree. Fits with the tone of the rest of the write up.

Not only that, his whole business model seems to be "profit off the AI bubble and get the big techs to indirectly subsidize you"

Which obviously works, it's not like there aren't tons of multi-million startups ultimately doing the exact same thing, and yet. It feels a bit... trite?
