The text feels incoherent to me and lacks some nuance.

It starts about cutting costs by the choice of infrastructure and goes further to less resource hungry tools and cheaper services. But never compares the cost of these things. Do I save actually the upgrade to a bigger server by using Go and sqlite over let's say Python and postgres? Or does it not even matter when you have just n many users. Then I do not understand why at one point the convenience of using OpenRouter is preferred over managing multiple API keys, when that should be cheaper and a cost point that could increase faster than your infrastructure costs.

There are some more points, but I do not want to write a long comment.

It actually starts with a completely unrelated anecdote:

"What do you even need funding for?"

I agree. The author claims to have multiple $10K MRR websites running on $20 costs. I also don't understand what he needs money for — shouldn't the $x0,000 be able to fund the $20 for the next project? It doesn't make any sense at all.

Then the author trails off and tells us how he runs on $20/month.

Well, why did you apply for funding? Hello?
