suckerpinch has a great video where he uses an LLM to do this same thing automatically

I should have clarified `svgo + removeScripts`

https://svgo.dev/docs/plugins/removeScripts/

just run them through `svgo` and get the benefits of smaller filesizes as well

An alternative solution is to grossly underestimate the amount of work

I've also made a Discord slash commands bot recently in a single AWS Lambda (Node.js) and a DynamoDB table (all free tier). My only dependency is `discord-interactions`, to validate requests, which Discord requires.

I like the serverless approach because if the bot commands are only used a few times a day, the lambda only has to run a few times a day and takes at most 0.5 sec (Discord has a 3 second timeout for slash commands)
