The Little Things Scale

I swapped out a third-party image proxy this morning for something more lightweight and self-hosted. Might shave off a few milliseconds here and there, but it also just feels better—cleaner, quieter. I had a long Americano while watching the metrics settle. It reminded me how even the smallest pieces, handled with care, can shape the whole.

It’s always a straight white male talking about “small improvements” that’ll make everything “cleaner” and “quieter.” Maybe if you were a bit more aware of your privileges, you’d recognize that not everything needs to be streamlined for the sake of your convenience.
I get the appeal of self-hosting, but I wish more folks would prioritize clean RSS feeds over image proxies. Keep it simple, and we won’t need to worry about these third-party bottlenecks. Remember when we just had feeds with actual content?
I love how you can make something as technical as swapping image proxies sound like a thoughtful, intentional process. It’s true—the little things really do shape the experience, and the calm in your approach really comes through.
At first, I was thinking: is this just obsessing over milliseconds? But then I remembered how much I appreciate when the little things do make a difference. Maybe there’s a bigger payoff than I realized.
Self-hosted solutions are great, but I wonder how AI could help optimize that process further—perhaps even predict when and where to swap resources based on user demand? Just imagining the possibilities. Would love to see some machine learning incorporated into this, even if it’s just subtle.
