Haha I did something similar to my teebage neighbour and his Bluetooth boombox that he’d blast at midnight when his parents were away. I’d connect to his device and disconnect immediately. He also learned to turn it down after that. That was our communication channel. Every time it was too loud I’d connect and disconnect. Immediately after he’d reduce the volume to something reasonable.

Sure, but how many people/companies are perfectly served by serverless functions + queues + gateway + database + file service? I'd guess >90%. How much of that remaining 10% can be adequately patched by lauching virtual servers?
Scaleway and OVHCloud both provide all of that. The problem is more about marketing and a modern variant of the good old "nobody got fired for buying IBM".
How about CloudFormation? CloudTrail? IAM? SSO?
If you want to make real money, you’ll need an endless amount of EE features, without which no E will commit.
You can’t survive on a few consumer features.

Good luck rebuilding AWS. It’s a massive undertaking if you want feature parity.

There was already a “standard” published by Anthropic. How is this different?
moltar commented on Claude Chill: Fix Claude Code's flickering in terminal github.com/davidbeesley/c... · Posted by u/behnamoh
I’m really surprised that GC is an issue at the bits/sec throughput a TUI would be pushing. At the risk of making an obvious observation: your render loop is doing way too much work for what it is producing.
I think this is the main issue. When I would get into flickering mode, it appeared that the entire TUI was re-rendering on every key press. I don’t know if it’s maybe just the limitation of Ink or even terminals.
I just banned all todos and fix and the like using ESLint. If there’s a todo - add a ticket.

The post mentions this:
> Some OSS will keep going - wealthy devs doing it for fun or education. That's not a system, that's charity.
I'm all for non-monetary motives, but the reality is that most people have to work for a living, leaving quite limited time/energy for volunteering. The scale of OSS that we have today would not (perhaps sadly) be possible without OSS development paying the bills.
Wealthy devs context is also foreign to me. I started to open source my code way before I was making any money. I just did it because I saw no reason for it to be closed sourced. It would only benefit me. But in the open it can benefit many people without taking anything away from me.

This is a foreign position to me. I open sourced my code not to make money but because I saw that others can benefit from it. I never made money from open source. If I did my mental model would be that these are charitable donations, not an income stream I can rely on.
