I very much enjoyed the Vercel fanboys posting their enormous bills on Twitter, and then daring people to explain how they could possibly run it on, you know, a server for anything close to the price.

I took the bait once and analyzed a $5000 bill. IIRC, it worked out to about the compute provided by an RPi 4. “OK, but what about when your site explodes in popularity?” “I dunno, take the other $4900 and buy more RPis?”
