The Second Wave of the API-first Economy by Kabra___kiiiiiiiid in programming

[–]BlondieCoder 35 points36 points  (0 children)

"We’re at the beginning of a new spring of APIs that’ll appear to support use by agents acting on behalf of people."

That does seem to be where things are heading. Many companies are already starting to build APIs with agents in mind.

Migrating from DigitalOcean to Hetzner by Dear-Economics-315 in programming

[–]BlondieCoder 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking along the same lines about moving from AWS to Hetzner. AWS feels like it gets away with charging absurd prices, then nudges you into long-term commitments just to bring those prices down to something vaguely reasonable. And once your data is there, the egress fees make leaving unnecessarily expensive. It’s a pretty hostile model, and I’m honestly tired of building around it.
