You accuse Gitlab of "quite a few [problematic] things" but do not put forward even a single one of those.

The additional cost is for door-to-door service. Not everyone in the Philly metro area is within walking distance to a Septa location, nor do people want to spend the additional time to arrive at a Septa location and then ride to work.

on: How a domain registrar can kill your business
Network Solutions is an utter joke. I had them develop a website and the website was finished with web best practices from 15 years prior. Messy code, zero responsive design. Photoshop used to the max. Then the same website hosted with them was mysteriously "hacked" and disappeared. They had zero backups and continued charging to host the website they lost. Absolutely zero recourse for their incompetence. STAY AWAY

That python is slow is utterly irrelevant. You would never deploy an unoptimized Python codebase into production if you cared about performance. You would profile the code and optimize the hot paths with the appropriate technology, be it numba-jit, cython, numpy, cffi, or any of the other many ways you can easily optimize Python
