It is generally appreciated you include counter-arguments if you challenge the point.

Also talk to you; that’s part of learning how to. It prepares you for rejection of all sorts.

Yea, I just read that too.

Yeah, imo, it’s nowhere near ready for 1.0. I was a big advocate for this browser but recently changed because of exactly this. That, and it’s very slow after having it running constantly, I found myself routinely quitting and re-opening it every hour or two to get normal speed back, or my RAM for that matter.

So I’m back on Safari.

Ew. For some reason it looks absolutely disgusting to me.

It’s called suicidal empathy.

You know, feel free to keep thinking this. In my experience Grok is the best. I don’t let myself into weird groupthink that happens just because trolls took advantage of Grok’s absence of lobotomy. Kind of a superpower.

This is your second comment in this thread (as far as I’ve scrolled) saying this without an explanation. Could you elaborate on why?

Honestly, it feels like the one being dramatic here is you. Because the one you’re replying to added “huge”, you added a whole sentence calling everyone “so damn dramatic”. But oh well.

jeffhuys — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 18:38:22 +0000

In what way does you mean this? I’ve built two jobs for the preview envs: DeployEnvironment (runs the terraform stuff that starts the ec2/makes s3 buckets/creates api gateway/a lot of other crap) and then ProvisionEnvironment (zips the local copy of the branch and rsyncs it to the environment, and some other stuff). I build the .env file in ProvisionEnvironment, which accounts for the parameters. I’d love to get your point of view here!

True; I conflate the two often. The EC2s run on an IAM image, same as production does, which before was a docker image.

For a while we used it for scalable preview environments: specify the branch, hit deploy, and have a QA-able environment, with full database (anonymized) ready to go in 15 minutes (DB was time bottleneck).

We ditched it for EC2s which were faster and more reliable while being cheaper, but that's beside the point.

Locally I use OrbStack by the way, much less intrusive than Docker Desktop.

Is it? Remember servers exist.

Personally (and most people I know) see windows as user stuff. Not developer stuff. So CLI tools etc are linux/mac-first. Lots of projects I find nowadays don't even have a windows build...
