Good. Minimal SaaS startups providing apis for things which are available within local code are stupid and have been forever. People buying into them are even dumber. Guess I work with a bunch of dumbasses then.
Ok I have a question - and maybe I’m biased as an SRE. Has code generation really been the problem?
I feel like good engineers have always been able to write like 1000’s of line PR’s,
But I don’t outsource postgres to RDS because I can’t find enough devs to write a database.
It feels like we outsource a lot of stuff because of the mental load and overhead of running it in production.
But it seems like there’s this assumption in the thought leadership that says all software written by LLM’s will just work.
Maybe this makes sense more at small companies where like the limiting factor is the code? You have low usage of the service, don’t really need it to be HA(or can package it on the server in such a way that it’s tied to the lifecycle of the monolith)
Was there no open source ip geolocation they could self host before?
