I have a bash script that creates the worktree, copies env over and changes the ports of containers and the services. I then can proxy the "real" port to any worktree, it's common I'll have 3 worktrees active to switch back and forth

I don't know. Something that takes CC about a minute is now on minute 15 with this new model...

From Apr-Oct we have friends over and enjoy doing what ever we want, different family every weekend usually booked all but two weeks we use for just family time. From Oct-Apr various activities and housework, electronics projects, programming, etc

We went the other way and I'm so happy we did. Some think we're bad parents but we work all week and don't want our weekends working as chauffeur so we don't allow our three kids to play spring/summer sports. We have a few friend who do and it just looks miserable.

I think is because boot camps pushed out bad developers. You can write bad code in any language framework, react isn't any different. We now just have a ton of front end devs that don't understand how to write good software

I did this a few months ago, and CF Pages is by far the most flexible and easy way once you have it setup. Spend some time just setting it up and understanding it and then making changes is just a commit and push away. Scales well and offers a lot of other features some of the other platforms don't, for free

I want to love workers but I've never had great luck with anymore more than a basic crud app. Even getting an external db to connect proved to be more work than it should have, and their docs are all outdated and all over the place, often contradicting themselves.

Yeah, but did they fail to build the right things...or did they just write bad code that didn't work? I would assume the former, but you're right, it's hard to quantify. My CEO said something the other day at an all-hands, someone asked what concerns him and he said velocity and then followed it up with not that we're moving slowly but rather he's worried we're building fast just in the wrong direction. I think this happens a lot. I can't think of a single company that failed because they didn't have unit tests, or they chose the wrong DB. I'm sure they're out there, maybe, but it's more common you're going to fail because you built the wrong thing vs the code wasn't tested, no?
