Someone had to choose the problem, steer the model, and check the output - it's clearly taken a lot of time. That's authorship with a powerful tool, same as it's always been.

DHH effect. He has a very strong following, and there's a certain amount of trust/prestige attached to his name in the tech/startup world. For a lot of these people, DHH building something is probably enough to get them interested and willing to throw money at it.

Hyperbole or just rage bait?

Congrats on the launch! While the focus is on humans, I found many of the principles here to be very relevant for building with AI.

With LLMs able to generate the "magic" with ease, I can see the role of frameworks shifting a bit. Instead of hiding complexity, it's surely more beneficial to expose the primitives clearly enough that both you and an LLM can follow the request lifecycle.

The bet on Cloudflare is pretty bold, but it does make sense given how unique their products like DO and Workers are. I suppose there's not much of an escape hatch if you ever needed one?

Looks like it offers a much higher level of abstraction than that.

Seems closer to Heroku/Vercel but running in your own AWS account.

Mine is set to triple.

They’re giving us a 3 month grace period, but unfortunately don’t offer a breakdown of what is causing the increase.

How do you handle global infrastructure on AWS/GCP?

The performance is great in the US for my Next.js app on GCP/AWS as that's where I deploy to, but elsewhere the TTFB is poor. Deploying to multiple regions would probably end up costing more than Vercel for us.
