5 Things That Should Be Illegal to Self Host
I love self hosting. I run a Docker hosting platform that empowers everybody to self-host. I think every developer should know how to deploy their own stuff.
But even I have limits.
There’s a point where self hosting crosses the line from "empowering" to "why are you doing this to yourself" Not everything needs to be run on your 5 dollar VPS. Some things are best left to the hyperscalers or literally anyone else but you.

Documentation done right: A developer’s guide
With all the work involved in creating and maintaining a project, sometimes writing documentation can slip through the cracks. However, good docs are a huge asset to any project. Consider the benefits:
Better collaboration: Clear, consistent documentation ensures everyone’s on the same page, from your immediate team to outside stakeholders. Additionally, docs promote independent problem solving, saving core contributors the time and effort of answering every question.
Smoother onboarding: By providing ways to get started, explaining core concepts, and including tutorial-style content, good documentation allows new team members to ramp up quickly.
Increased adoption: The easier it is to understand, set up, and run your project, the more likely someone will use it.
