What's a better offering that makes it easier to push projects in production?

In 2026, every major cloud provider has a service that lets you just hand it a Docker container and let it figure out how to run it.

But their offering is "frontend oriented", what you describe doesn't work for django / laravel / rails / etc, no ?

Have a look at Scalingo, it's a good mix of simplicity and maturity.

Yes. We are taking a stab at the entire infrastructure like Heroku did but with a focus on a coding agent-centric workflow: https://specific.dev

Don't know how much you have used ember, but I disagree, it's quite sane as a programming model and ember data is still ahead in terms of developper comfort for client apps.


100% this! I'm amazed at how most issues with React are non-issues with Ember, and still saddened by how often React dev are completely unaware of how these issues have been solved elsewhere.


You can just rephrase it as "an idea alone is worthless without proper execution" which is what is meant.


Curious, have you tried entering people houses when the door is open?


That’s not a great analogy but it is one that courts have been using until recently when they admitted that it wasn’t a great analogy.

A better analogy would be using a box in a bush in a public park to store your customers information.


It does if you have blocking calls or you cannot yield to the event loop in time consuming code.


Note that you do not on websites that are not trying to use your data without your consent. Rephrased: the issue might not be the law.


What are the good projects?


The ones that

* don't financially benefit their creators

* are not a copy-paste of an existing coin with some trivial changes


Because most software doesn’t need to be good, but just hit the “kind of does the job well enough” line. It improves velocity for this usecase.


OK, but if this 12Xes devs why isn't there 12 times the crappy software there was 5 years ago? I'm not seeing a massive increase in the amount of available software. Shouldn't there be dozens of new word processors? Hundreds of new MIDI sequencers? Thousands of text editors?

If this is actually making software easier to make where is the software?


It assumes there is a need for that software. It's not because I can ship the nth clone of flappy bird in minutes that I will?


I mean, people released a billion clones of flappy bird before AI so I don't see why they would stop? The dominant mobile game genre seems to be "line up three of the same thing and get a prize which will make you want to buy a better prize in our online store"; I don't see a flood of new entrants to this space.

Do LLMs just not work for mobile development? What about native? Why is the only thing I'm actually seeing produced increasingly byzantine tooling for AI itself?
