Seriously, there’s been literally hundreds of blog-hosting websites. If you really thought none of them were backed by a DB, I’m not sure what to say. It’s not like “optimizing DB calls” is an original idea. It’s probably something 50% of all software engineers have spent some time on.
Whether one works for google, facebook, amazon, apple or microsoft, I can guarantee you that if they’ve been on the job for long enough, at some point in their career they had to “optimize expensive calls”
Now, I don’t want to just be an asshole. I think it’s really cool to start something from scratch and push it out there. I, for one, never really got myself to do it. And I think the grit is harder to acquire than the technical skills. Just be careful of not overestimating your real skills, it can be a great turn-off for any half-competent professional who might be considering joining you in a future venture
