What are you talking about. Cory literally coined the term to describe this phenomena. He is not confused by the idea of cheaper products with wider appeal. He takes issue with vendor lock-in that is weaponized first against the end-user, then against paying customers, and finally against investors themselves. This is first and foremost a criticism of online products and platforms, not mass-produced gadgets from China.
I have a use for them too, but unlikely to happen. Too powerful to abuse.

dewey was joking.
Happens to me too. Especially when a secret token or API key is on the clipboard, then all senses are heightened until I replace it with something non-sensitive.
Managing product data on the cloud does not mean public internet access, unless someone messes something up big time.
Facebook is already like this. People didn't stop watching. In fact, they mostly stopped caring if it's fake. And no point in debunking the obvious BS: they scroll faster than you can say AI.
On the heavy side, but TeamCity is full of goodies.
Is "preserve nuance" the latest incantantion that solves all chatbot mistakes?

They are customers of the CDN too.
Briefly yesterday, linkedin.com was down with Cloudflare's internal server error page.
I don't think that's necessarily a bad review for Azure services, there are other explanations, like organizational inertia, contractual agreements, team preference.
You can feel the pain of GitHub migrating to Azure from afar. With a beast that LinkedIn is, there's got to be a good prize for someone at the end of the road before they pull the trigger.
I used it for a couple of days and was very impressed. Definitely a hidden gem, and super cheap.
This seems to have been written in good spirit, addressing FLOSS maintainers.
They are not retiring the API. Nginx Ingress is one of the many projects that implements this API, and you are free to migrate to another implementation.
I dabbled in this area, there are poster layout generation attempts that use gen ai to come up with an initial layout plan, and even feed the visualization back into the llm for iterative fine-tuning.
I was intrigued, but couldn't make it work reliably. Perhaps I forgot to add "make it look nice" to my prompts.

Why nobody should use Apache? I rediscovered it to be great in many use cases. And there's llms to help with the config syntax.
I've been putting off a cloud to cloud migration, but apparently it can be done in hours?

I'm a full stack developer with 10+ years of experience finding absurd amount of enjoyment in B2B web applications.
Especially happy to work on internal tooling, and being the go-to developer for non-technical coworkers.

Clean and solid, congrats on launching! Any unique features that may differentiate you from other feature flagging tools?
I'm sure this is a problem in large corporations, but on some days I'd give an arm and leg to receive an actual email instead of the random slack messages with zero context and a builtin social pressure for low latency responses.
If you use the kustomize controller from the FluxCD project, you can set it to prune unmanaged objects.
In true GitOps, I think it's should be default on.
In contrast to the Economist blaming inefficient workers sabotaging the spread of this wonderful technology, make sure to check out https://pivot-to-ai.com/ where David Gerard has been questioning whether people are prompting it wrong or AI is just not that smart.
Google Workspace. If you're willing to depend on Google, nothing comes even close to what you get per dollar.
A 4 letter dotcom registered in 2002. Curious what it was used for, how you got it for this project, and what it's worth on the market if you were to sell it. I feel a sense of awe like it's an old statue.
Not sure why this is downvoted. Even if you dispute if that have gesture was a Nazi salute, or think that people shouldn't consider the behavior of a CEO when making a purchase, this is the reality.
Listmonk is a modern take, self-hostable and open source. You can hook it up to AWS SES to keep it both cheap and reliable. In the new version they just released there's even an email template composer.
WHAT!? Unbelievable productivity. I'm in awe (and a renewed impostor syndrome).
I do in fact care about the nth developer when I visit about us pages.
Maybe a slight bias on my part as I'm a developer and not an investor.
And not that funding or advising is less important, but it's a nice feeling connecting a product I like to faces who make it happen.
Navigating in Blender is also a pain without a numpad.
I think you make good observations already well captured in Dead Internet Theory.
High craftsmanship however has always been a niche as any given problem will only find a small subset of customers willing to pay extra for higher than average quality.
SaaS may face the same fate as SEO only in the sense that it's hard to acquire relevant traffic at scale. As the industry matured, it slowly became harder to do it for new founders anyway.
With the open internet turning into botfest, people will turn to personal recommendations to solve their technical problems.
In my opinion, the personal network is the new true search engine.
I've seen ANSI layout being available on many Tuxedo models. I got my Aura 15 with it 4 years ago.
