bolololo1on Why Are Some Countries Rich and Others Poor?

Most rich countries are rich because they build their wealth on free labor (slavery), and this countries include USA, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, etc. Some are really poor because they've been exploited by the countries mentioned above (Africa and former German, British, Belgian, French colonies). Some are poorer because they've been destroyed by war multiple times (Poland).

bolololo1on A startup’s Firebase bill suddenly increased from $25 to $1750 per month

Of course it's not and I feel sorry for the author, but being smart doesn't mean that you know everything from dev to setting up servers. Most startups are just quickly glued up. What the author and team could do after they started growing is to start slowly moving to own infrastructure/backend. I'd advise any startup anyways to start with Saas and when money starts showing up then hire the remote guy to set up infrastucture.

Still cheaper for a single dev starting a startup to hook up to Firebase/AWS/Azure than hiring 'cheap' devs from Poland.
