A technology publication examines cloud and compute waste, then argues for simpler, flatter ways to build and run software.

Worth noticing: The menu links an archive, a Flat Stack scorecard, a contribution route, and an RSS feed.

Field notes

The homepage organizes its dated entries under recurring labels such as Bill Shock, Repatriation, Datacenter Buildout, and Attack Surface. Each sampled article includes a source reference, while the navigation offers an archive, a Flat Stack scorecard, contribution via GitHub, and RSS. The site describes the flat-stack approach as using open formats, precomputed answers, and static delivery; the homepage does not show the details of a particular rebuild.
