more advanced users can spin up dedicated server space in seconds and do anything they want. i've had some form of virtual server for years now and being able to throw stuff on there for my weird web projects is the absolute best.
personal website? irc bouncer? twitter bot? anything that needs a cron job? throw it on the vps
do you find the decentralization narratives of "web3" compelling? want to escape from the tech giants? wait til you learn about mastodon.social and matrix.org !

- freecodecamp.org
- dev.to
- codecademy.com
- leonnoel.com/100devs/ #100devs
