Do you guys prefer self-hosting or deploying your apps with a cloud provider? I do both, but I think of migrating more stuff to cloud.
Mix for me. Anything with customer data and uptime promises → managed Postgres + Redis, not worth the 3am pages. Side projects → a cheap VPS. Self-host the app, rent the state.
Somewhere in between. I like the control I have over self-host, but I like the comfort of the cloud as well.

Much needed, there was so much noise on X about this one (CVSS 10, actively exploited…). TL;DR for anyone skimming: update to 8.5.12 / 8.4.27 / 8.3.36 / 8.2.35, there's no mitigation besides patching 🔐
I feel like this website is a bit slow in Asia. 🌏 Where is the server actually located?

Every day really. I don't have enough money to splash out on tokens and can't really get a stable local LLM to actually generate code.
It's been quite some time. And I really miss these times. I mean, development was my passion. I loved writing every line of code myself, debugging the whole night, forgetting about everything around me, just to find out a semicolon is missing 😆
Slop goes to LinkedIn. 😂 Jokes apart, it does not matter if the text is generated by AI or not. It 100% depends on the value it is adding for the audience. This website itself is a good example to begin with. It is 95% AI, we can say, yet we are using it because it is adding…

Plz no more AI slop. If you didn't care to write it, why would someone care to read it?
I would agree. There was spell checks, grammarly and many other tools as well earlier. The important thing is - what context you have given when you created the post. If there is no personal touch, then it's just AI writing for AI. It has to be Human writing for Human using AI…
