How tightly coupled to Fly.io are generated apps?

Everything starts as a stock phx.new app which use sqlite by default. Nothing is specific to fly. You should be able to copy the git clone url, paste, cd && mix deps.get && mix phx.server locally and the app will just work.

Does it mean I can build and deploy a SQLite based app on fly.io with this approach without using Postgres? If yes, how does the pricing for the permanent storage ( add) needed for SQLite works? Thanks

I really wish I could move to those nice new editors, but as a vim user I just feel paralyzed when I cannot use vim bindings. And all "emulations" I tried are just incomplete.

I'm with you. I'm going to try Zed in the next couple days based on the response to my comment here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44322560 . I'm stuck with vim. My fingers nearly only work vim, but I managed to move to neovim, which worked. Maybe (something else) can work too.

Indeed, why would an employer pay us a high salary to sit by the pool? The benefits will go to the founders/investors and the customers. They'll benefit greatly from the increased output and lower costs, but the middlemen (SWEs) will be cut out. That's a great thing if you're a founder/investor or a customer, but not if you're the middleman. New opportunities may come around, but I don't think that's inevitable. It r…

It will not be easier for founders/investor either. If couple prompts is all it takes to build your product, your potential customers will write those prompts themselves instead of buying your product.

True. But someone at the top will benefit. Either it’s the companies that can produce more of something that the end user can’t easily replicate themselves for whatever reason, or at least the LLM providers.

What I mean is, it will create value. Just not for the masses. And maybe not for the small businesses. If anything, it will let the big corporations do even more: a few big players doing everything and no little players at all.

> Pop in from what? Our factory jobs? Oh, you sweet summer child. ;) You will pop in from the other 9 projects you are currently popping in on, of course! While running 10 agents at once!

And from which exactly am I earning an income to feed myself? Who's buying what I'm making? Where are they getting their money?

We're building a serfdom again.

How about our software engineering jobs, which will now entail managing a team of agents?

wow that sounds fun /s

We don't do any model training, and only use existing open source or hosted models. Code gets sent to those providers in context windows. They all promise not to train on it, so far.

Did I not say it good enough, Kurt?

You said it terribly to be honest
