Don't spend hours configuring AWS Lambda. Deploy your small python apps with git push

@pushmatrix How do less technical people deploy? Do Claude/OpenAI desktop apps run terminal commands or are they using Claude code/codex/etc?

@criccomini @martinkl Congrats! Is there a new chapter on running 50 read replicas!

With only a few days of work, I was able to build a translator app better than Google Translate for navigating life in a Spanish-speaking country.

@thdxr Just move closer to the data center

It's a great time to be building dev tools 😉

@maxkolysh Gotta make sure they don’t steal the chocolate mousse recipe

@ankurnagpal I can read and give feedback

[Jason Strauss @jastrauss]

@IndieHackers “Use the right tool for the job” is often an excuse to add technical complexity

[Jason Strauss @jastrauss]

@j3nnings I’d rather read good docs than chat with an AI trained on the docs
