Julien: I've been in many non-profit organizations and one of the hardest things to design for is when people burn out, which happens a lot

@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarand when you start paying engineers, 7k/mo is pretty cheap13:08:26
@patka_123:matrix.orgpatka I might be out of line here and interfer with this I shouldn't mingle myself with. But people also burn out really fast when a plan is made and agreed upon and then someone comes along and throws a wrench into the plans, with only wishes and good intentions 13:08:32
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožaryeah I understand this13:09:30
@julienmalka:matrix.orgJulienI see your point and it's an important one. I think what I'd like us to have is have the data saved somewhere and still accessible. I think we could still have the "current" data (1 year of unstable, 2 releases) in a cloud infrastructure that cost way less, and parallely export the data to another place we manage where there is less availability and that is maintained as best effort policy. 13:09:43
