  But they have had this problem for many many years, so your point dosen't really stand.

  I think it's a financial issue. They're not taking on investors, they can only grow so fast.

  Difficult problems don't always become easy if you've done them before imo.

  It’s definitely possible to build a lot of servers in ~5 years or however long this problem has been occuring

  The months you were talking about are so minimal in comparison to how long this has been going on

  To me it’s obvious that it has to do with financials

  Otherwise they could have done it in much larger scale at a time

  It’s more I can only do so much before I lose my mind it’s all on my to source, build, test, pack, ship, deploy. It’s killer. We could use more staff but I generally perfect keeping a small team of guys I trust.

  I’m also up to my ears in namecrane work.

  I mean at the end of the day everything is a financial question, right?

  Had you taken VC money you’d just hire someone to take care of that stuff, maybe one per continent

  I’m glad you don’t since there already are a lot of providers doing just that, so I’m not suggesting you should or anything, you're independent and it's part of the whole idea if I were to guess
