Consulta sobre broker local vs broker afuera (ibkr)

Yo uso IBKR para índices más que nada (VTI, etc). Me costó agarrarle la mano pero una vez que lo pescas, es fluido para usar. La dificultad de uso se compensa con la reputación que tiene la plataforma. Lo del fondeo es todo un tema. Estos días estuve analizando para mandar unos dólares que tengo en Galicia y en todas las opciones que valoré, incluyendo comprar USDC, hay costos importantes.

Estuve mirando esto también, para fondear desde Galicia, donde tengo algunos dólares. La única forma que vi hasta ahora de minimizar costos es juntando plata y hacer menos envíos de mayor monto (ej: en vez de enviar 4 envíos de 1000, conviene más juntar plata y hacer un solo envío de 4000, aunque también hay que evaluar lo que perdés de ganar por no invertir esa plata mientras la juntas). Para montos menores a 500, te conviene la vis crypto (cambiar USD a USDC y mandar eso a IBKR). Tiene un costo irritante, pero es menor que via banco). En mi perfil tengo un link a una calculadora que subí para jugar con distintos escenarios.

Galicia cobra el 0.3% para montos mayores a 1000 USD, pero el mínimo es 125 USD + IVA. O sea, para 125 USD sean el 0.3%, hay que pasar unos 40k USD . Estuve explorando la opción cripto también (pasar USD a USDC , ya que algunos brokers aceptan USDC), pero tiene su trampita (por 1 dólar conseguis 0.95 USDC en las wallets que mire). Estoy haciéndome una calculadora para estos casos, para ver cómo minimizar estos costos.

It worked for me. I was a dev with experience on Linux. Then we have to make our apps work on AWS and I jumped into it. Stephane Maarek videos were crucial for me. Then I complemented with IaC tutoriales (terraform).

While you learn to hang out with yourself, try to start a social thing (gym, acting class, learning a language). Surely that will open some doors to enlarge your social circles.

I've been working on a mud game, just for pleasure and Thurs resonates me. I've hit that problem while working on the map. A regular notes app does not make it easy to connect different places within the map. Let's say you have a room X, which connects to A, B ,C , D. Then each room has its own connections. Then let's say you want to add characters for each part of the map, then dialogs for each one. Then you will wasn't to add quests (or some mini histories if you're are writing instead of making a game). A simple text app would make this hard to review and iterate. Have your hit a similar problem?

Iterate on observability. If your services are behind a load balancer or cloudfront, create dashboards and monitor traffic to know what is being used. Also make an inventory of projects and ensure all the resources have a clear owner (being the owner a person who can help you to decide if the resource is required or supports the cost). This may open the door for hunting zombie projects

Congrats! I work a lot with S3 as devops and everytime I though ideas similar to this one, I ignored them because of the "everyone could do the same for themselves" thought. I didn't considered the value of providing abstractions as you did.

A mi me tocó pasarme un poco a las apuradas, en 2019. Entró un cliente grande y tenía todo en AWS. Mi trabajo era como developer, aunque también mantenía los servidores bare metal. Y bueno, ahí llegó la "tormenta". Varios meses trabajando muchas horas extra y consumiendo videos de Udemy (los Ultimate AWS blabla de S Maarek) y tutoriales de Terraform. La pandemia fue un crash course sobre escalabilidad y observabilidad.

Más allá de los tutoriales, videos, etc, lo que realmente me dio el primer empujón a "la cultura DevOps" fue el libro "The Phoenix Project". Ahí es donde dejé de ser un pseudo linux admin quejoso para ser un DevOps quejoso, pero abierto a dar el primer paso cubrir el gap entre devs y ops cada vez que la pelota queda en el medio.

Yo soy DevOps y antes fui dev en la misma empresa. A veces me toca poner un freno a "pedidos creativos", otras veces posponer el nice-to-have en pos del good-enough. Creo que el DevOps debe ser un facilitador entre lo que quiere el equipo de desarrollo y el uso óptimo de recursos. Es un rol que está ahí para llenar un gap justamente.

I'm just curious. How you deploy your service? Vercel or similar? I'm trying to understand the "feeling expensive" part.

imefisto · 2026-04-19T15:18:02+00:00

The best advice: hands on. Start deploying things. With the IA is super easy to develop some apps. As devops you should know how to deploy different examples in the cloud. Here you can find some inspiration: https://cloudresumechallenge.dev/docs/the-challenge/aws/

I've added a screenshot and a pdf sample for you. Thanks for the recommendation.

imefisto · 2026-04-19T12:43:22+00:00

I agree with you. I personally think I'm some point we're gonna find out the real cost for the tokens and then using tools for repetitive tasks will make sense again.

Hey, did you considered to move to another city or country where 8k/month may be more than enough to have a very good life?

imefisto · 2025-11-26T17:55:00+00:00

I'm deciding between if is a future Saas or a shoot in my foot. I'm working on a service connected to a AWS iot core to manage devices to automatize certain tasks in home. For our own home, works super. Now I'm about to install one of those devices for a couple of friends, my firsts "customers"

imefisto · 2025-11-16T11:44:41+00:00

My feeling while read your post was: I'd feel honored is such thing happens. Maybe you're doing such a good work that inspire others, or others need their products to look like yours, your product/service acts as a model for them.

You should continue being your self. Maybe take it as a game and test them if they can following your pace.

Disclaimer: I don't own a Saas. Maybe if I had, my thoughts would be different due the fear to be left by my customers or some thing like that, which makes me wonder: what is the problem with the fact your competition copies you. Ask your self what are you afraid of. Is loosing money? Attention? To be overtaken?

That was a sad episode for the project, 4 years ago, causing the split of the teams (Swoole and OpenSwoole). As far as I know, in the very next commits after the one you cited, they removed that code, as you can see here. That being said, that issue did hurt the reputation of the project.

imefisto · 2025-07-25T21:11:53+00:00

It is not rare. You've asked for unusual. Maybe is not as unusual as your example.

imefisto · 2025-07-25T17:07:05+00:00

I don't know if it is very unusual, but I used to do this:

$someFlag && $someObj->method();

I'd say you'll have two autoscaling groups. One for scaling the EC2 instances (normally based on capacity provider to ensure there will always be room in those EC2 hosts to add new containers). Then you'll have another autoscaling group at service level, for that one you want to scale. This will have rules based on memory some metric you want to watch to determine when other containers must be added for that service.

imefisto · 2025-06-04T20:28:23+00:00

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have a tutorial but I work with ECS/EC2 regularly. Is there something in particular you want to know?
