This is the best take

This is such a deep rabbit hole! Other alternatives include CDN and residential proxies, no VPN required

Jeez. Thankfully I carefully avoided almost any and all of that political driven craziness there, as my bubble is just other solopreneurs

This. I’m on X myself a lot (because everyone else in my circles is, not because I wanted) and it’s just such a bubble. Sometimes I want to just quit it all and touch grass

Not a single VM possible to request on Azure us-east for over a month now though :-(

Right now, we can’t request even a single (1) non-beefy non-GPU VM in us-east on Azure. That’s been going on for over a month now, and that’s after being a customer for 2 years :(

The cloud is also not fulfilling its end of the promise anymore - capacity on-demand. We’ve been struggling for over a month to get a single (1) non-beefy non-GPU instance on Azure, since they’ve been having just insane capacity issues, where even paying for “provisioned” capacity doesn’t make it available.

And now, on cloud it’s the same but much more expensive and worse performance. We’ve been struggling for over a month to get a single (1) non-beefy non-GPU VM allocated on Azure, since they’ve been having insane capacity issues, to the extent that even “provisioned” capacity cannot be fulfilled ;-(

The whole business model even for OAI/Anthropic is unsustainable.. they are already running it at a huge loss atm, and will do for the foreseeable future. The economics simply doesn't work, unfortunately or not

Another one bites the dust :-( I hope at least Windsurf stays the same..

Andras (author of Serverless Horrors) knows what he’s talking about.

The amount of brainwashing that big cloud providers have done, is insane.

Saw this too, but seems a little too good to be true tbh. I don't doubt it helped them, but it's just so hard to make these agents work reliably. And the more "rules" one accumulates, the less reliably they follow all of the rules and details. Heck, Claude can't even follow a single rule of not inserting comments everywhere.. Plus, code often ends up in a mess, without strict human oversight.

Perhaps I'm overlooking something though, it would be great to see more concrete details of their implementation, rather than this high-level inspirational description..
