<p>Good writing, enjoyed that article. Also I guess it looks like there was more time spent writing this article than actually working at OpenAI? 1 year tenure and a paternity leave?</p>

<p>I wish I could say I love fly.io, but it really is not ready yet for production.
A few months back we migrated a non essential production app to fly.io and we've had 3 major downtimes since where we didn't knew at all what was going on.<p>One thing from heroku in 2021 should have been learned here: Communicate before your clients learn about the issue. Communicate open.<p>I hope they improve in the next year</p>
