yeah i've had more downtime on managed db's & cloud servers then on my own managed VPS. And if it happens, with VPS i can normally fix it instantly compared to waiting 20-60 min for a response, just to let you know they start fixing it. And when they fix it, it doesnt always mean your instance automatically works.

just ask claude to do all that :), he is excellent and installing & managing new servers and making sure all security patches are updated. Just be careful if its a high risk project.

The irony is deploying NextJS on the railway platform is super slow since they use containers, on Vercel 2 min is like 12 min on railway, deployments on a vps are only like 20 seconds.

*I know this is just build time, so this is different then their deployement time

Not containers to blame but overprovisioning and how much resources dedicated to building. I am not sure how Vercel gets things build in literal seconds, but, hey, they are the creators of NextJS.

At DollarDeploy we building it also in containers but every build get 4GB/2CPU so it is quite fast but not as fast as Vercel.

I build some projects via pm2 deploy directly on a server and its much faster then vercel

Not every project can be compiled on production server since compiling NextJS might take quite a lot of RAM, I would advise against it.

Turbopack, custom runtime infrastructure on top of AWS Lambda.

Turbopack does not work for every app, I think they skip some build steps when building like typescript validation etc and aggressively cache node modules.

The biggest issue is missing plugins, but they have an extension point to add them.

Naturally they expect them to be written in Rust, which might be an issue for some then again Vite folks are also going into RIR.

well that largely depends, lots of saas are running 90% operating profit margins

I'd go the other way. Have less stuff. Just a text box, markdown, insane support for mermaid and everything. Dump the "blocks" of wordpress etc. Too confusing and fiddly. Maybe have AI assist to help with styling the rendered page a bit.

yeah same, but hn is AIfobic, so gets downvoted. So many cool stuff is now possible, LLM with integrated review features etc.

This is really great, anyone know of a Dutch version?

yeah thats a great start, however the md files of every change are really helpful in going though history and understand steps with llms'

I exclusive use complete fullscreen mode for apps i'm actively using and on large screens connect the workspaces, on small screen swipe back and forth. So I you never actually use that.

Yeah that's the skeptical key point.

The practical key point is: if you want to do a large migration is to have a very good & extensive test suite that Claude is not allowed to change during the migration. Then Claude is extremely impressive and accurate migrating your codebase and needs minimal handholding. If you don't have a test suite, claude will be freewheeling all the way. Just did an extensive migration project, and should have focused on the test suite much more.

Yeah, apparently the original library has nearly 4,000 tests. This would have been impossible without those. This speaks to the power of testing. The lack of discussion here also shows how under-valued it is.

Testing in the human era I think was less usefull. Too many tests would lead to high maintenance costs. In the AI era its a lot more easy to manage.

Out of all things, you have to be a sadist to be passionate about pest control. Even though necessary at times, it's not a very clean job.

Sounded more like he likes he is passionate about building a business.

It’s the business characteristics I like. Recurring and one off revenue, big market, growing, regulations. The exam barrier to entry rather than 4y apprenticeship like plumbing

Some of us love it, bit intense sometimes, but fun. So I guess we get to decide it ourselves what we prefer.

I know many will then say, BUT QUALITY, but if you learn to deal with your own and claude quirks, you also learn how to validate & verify more efficiently. And experience helps here.
