Feb 12 2024Skiff - Or: Why Venture Capital is Bad for You

😵‍💫 Warning: This Diatribe was written in anger, but contains grains of truth

Around a year ago, I decided to shutdown my self-hosted email service after running it for about ten years. My choice in doing such was simply cost related - for the scale of email I was processing, it was not viable to run my own servers to do as such, accounting for time in maintenance and ensuring deliverability. At the time, Skiff mail had been around for around two years, and offered an extremely price competive option for far less than I would be able to setup myself, with more features then I was able to offer, so I made the (incredibly infrastructurly challenging) choice of migrating my mail services over to Skiff.
