you're spot on. I use both Claude Code + OpenCode with many different models and friction is minimal as long as I'm deliberate about it. Hell, even symlinking AGENTS.md to CLAUDE.m…

I credit containerization, k8s, and terraform for preventing vendor lock in. Compute like EC2 or GCE are effectively interoperable. Ditto for managed services for k8s or Postgres. …

Get out of here with this nonsense. We tell people when we’re a bad option all the time. Do you really think we have a desire (or time) to punish somebody for doing the same? Also,…

My point was that the app-not-working category is used in conjunction with support/our team getting involved. I assume this is what Sam meant by "flagged it internally", which was …

That category was added after one of our support folks replied, likely for tracking. I don't know why it's private. They may not even know this category is private. Hiding negative…

I don't know why the app-not-working category effectively delists threads, but until we find out, I just removed it so this thread is public again.

As an employee that would be a catastrophic outcome.

Docker (or rather OCI) is our first class citizen. The launchers for phoenix/rails/etc just generate dockerfiles and config by inspecting source code.

This is really cool! I don't use discord much, how much effort would a Slack bot version be?

We do hire entry level people, in fact we're wrapping up our first cohort of interns right now. Exclusively hiring experienced dudes from the tech bubble is a failure mode in the l…

This is for employees only. We don't collect more than necessary for customers, and if we did we sure as hell wouldn't be sending it to Google.

Ah!!! Thanks for pointing that out, we'll take it down.

That’s an old api we need to sunset. How did you stumble on it?

What rest api is that? If it’s not the machines api it’s in graphql at api.fly.io/graphql.

Ah! I've had volumes on the top of my mind all week... Firecracker supports snapshots in a dev preview but we're not using it yet. We can't really do anything like that on Nomad, w…

If you mean moving (or copying) VMs to another region/host, sorta. Stateless compute is easy; our apps platform (orchestrated by Nomad) already does it. Volumes complicate things b…

It already has it [1]. Native litestream that RPC's to the primary sounds interesting though! [1] https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/pull/4268

We're not shying away from "boring" stuff at all. We just have a small team with bigger priorities that's spread too thin. There's a million things like resizable volumes we need t…

> there’s no obvious way to resize disks Yes, this sucks right now. Resizable disks is on our list, we just need somebody to spend a few days on it. Luckily we're hiring platform e…

Node, Ruby, and Python come to mind. Oddly enough the alpine versions of haproxy and nginx on Docker hub had issues too.

Failing in one AZ probably means they changed something with DNS servers for that region. We had a similar issue recently when we rolled out a new DNS server that returned longer S…

I really want to like Alpine, but we (Fly.io) have seen so many DNS issues with customer images that we’re now recommending Ubuntu or Debian slim. The extra ~50mb is a worthwhile t…

You control which region your app and it’s volumes are in. Metrics, logs, and volume snapshots end up on servers in the USA. We haven’t addressed data residency for those platform …
