Post

Deleted my personal and business accounts on Fly.io. Maybe it's an overreaction to their blog post on LLMs, but it's easy to move elsewhere for cheaper. The convenience of fly-cli is only slightly better than bash, ansible, makefiles, or whatever works for you.

Where are you going instead? And actually because they like LLMs not because of how wildly unreliable it is?

DO temporarily, it's reliable and easy to setup. For my EU clients, they'll be moving over to boxes on Hetzner. For my Canadian clients, Robson Inc in Vancouver. Yes, these three hosts have GPUs and talk about LLMs - But they aren't going out of their way to glorify them, and chastise those against.

For my larger projects, they're abysmall or don't work at all - recently working with 2+ million lines of PHP which is not enjoyable on the best days, I can't imagine the LLM thought any better.

I vibe coded with cursor on Friday - properly - no peaking at the code, just build the thing to see if I like overall concept. It wasn't anything better than I can sketch quickly in a notebook and plan (or even the stack I would chose - loves tailwind 2 for some reason...).

I did get a working artifact to hand over to a client to continue talks on actual work (which would not be vibe coded).
