@cunningpike deliverability. Mailgun or AWS SES has better reputation so more emails will get delivered. Running your own MTA requires managing your IP's reputation in a lot of blacklists, and sometimes having to rehabilitate it if your IP was used for spam before you got assigned it.
Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.
Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts (more than Belgium or Chile) to process less than 7 transactions per second :
Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.
This could be a joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dollars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

@clive I started writing more things down on my personal blog and can't shake the feeling that working in tech and internet style of writing has made my already bad writing style worse. I found it really hard to "fill" a paragraph or even a blog entry that wasn't just "hey I did something here's how it works."
The audience effect that you mentioned, I felt and it helped a little but I feel like maybe 140 character life has shrunk my brain a bit
Was able to hear the fog horns of the ships on the Delaware early this morning. It was pretty cool
