A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Interesting take from Pieter Levels on how learning to code today involves sifting through dozens of VC/corporate-funded devfluencers pushing newbie devs toward certain “open-source” frameworks, with the ultimate goal of having them host their startup on proprietary, closed-source and often overly-expensive infrastructure.

“It’s like lobbying.”

i think by week 2 of building we completely abandoned Vercel and went to GCP.

and maybe i’m wrong but Levels only builds websites? none of the underlying distributed systems.

so he has a right to be frustrated when 90% of the entry level market is “get dev rich quick” and it undermines his business and approach.

I think this is my sign to jump ship from Netlify. Just got charged for extra bandwidth for the second month in a row.
