True only if the end-product is better in some way. A gourmet meal is better than Chipotle. A handmade leather bag is better than the Temu version. In software, it's harder to make out the difference; of course, better UX, faster APIs etc. can all affect the end-user experience. But who is to say that AI-generated code can't do all of that (and more!)?

Bummer that all the postgres serverless providers are getting acquired. First Neon, now this. Hope the innovation and competitive pricing continues!

Transactional email service.

S3 backed object storage (too risky to use anything else or even learn anything else for it).

Scale to 0 services. Might mean less money for Render but would be awesome. Gets a lot of side projects hosted on fly because if it.

Partnership with Neon would be great too, I run 6 dbs there for $69 with auto scaling (and scales to 0 too if needed for non-prod envs). Render would be 3-4x that price for those many dbs.

ok possibly not alone, maybe the issues happened before I started using them extensively. I've had ~no downtime that affects me in 7 months.

I do wish they had some features I need, but their support and responses are top notch. And I've lost much less hair and time than I would going full-blown AWS or another cloud provider.

Been on it 7 months, 0 issues. Feel like you're alone on this potentially.

It seems to be a non-issue to me. From my attorney a few months back:

"We follow the practice of major law firms in the venture space and do not include a spousal consent for the 83(b) election in community property states. We also confirmed with our tax counsel, and they confirmed our approach is advisable."

No one should lose sleep over it. Spouse didn't sign off on a $500 payment to buy restricted stock (early startup stock), so IRS will come down heavily on you for material harm --- will not stand in court!

My 2 cents anyway based on legal advice received.

NOT loving the excessive vibrations on the phone. It increases my anxiety somehow... I'd remove it honestly or make it 10% of what it is in certain cases only.

I might be alone in this, but we've been trained for vibrations to mean something. Vibrating the phone on every line or response from ChatGPT seems excessive to me (and a battery drain as well!).

Looks promising for sure! I know its hard to fund etc. but it'd be nice if truly 100% open-source options existed! Even the ones that are open-source, then have pricing for SSO etc. which is disappointing. I see the same in the headless CMS space where tools like Strapi, make it very hard to adopt without paying $$$.
