I've been there since the DOS days when it was all dark mode, green phosphor characters on a black CRT. I was there when amber monitors were the new thing. (I still love sunglasses with brown lenses.) And I watched the early Apple computers with graphics and black-characters-on-white display style that has been the rage ever since... well since the recent new thing being dark mode.
It reminds me of fashion trends, miniskirts then maxis, up and down past the knee like tides.
En Croissant and Pawn Appetite use Tauri (chess interfaces), neither ever works, got so annoying I just setup docker to build them on fedora and copy the binary out via scratch stage, needed to install one library and now both work.
Tauri itself seems fine but the packaging in AppImage is exactly as you describe, or EFL just breaks.
I suspect that if you broke projects on AWS down by the numbers, the vast majority don't needed it.
There are other benefits to using AWS (and drawbacks) bit "easy scaling" isn't just premature optimisation because if you build something to do something it's never going to do that's not optimisation it's simply waste.
They have the volume as well, if you do carve out a niche they’ll just add it and roll over you.
That’s held for decades though I think it only really worked when computers where doubling in speed every 12-18 months, for a while they scaled horizontally (more cores) over radical IPC improvements so we might see the rise of proper co-processors again (but nothing stops the successful ones getting put on die, like Strix Point is already heading).
Depends on the org, the big ones I've worked for regular Devs even seniors don't have anything like the level of access to be able to pull a stunt like that.
At the largest place I did have prod creds for everything because sometimes they are necessary and I had the seniority (sometimes you do need them in a "oh crap" scenario).
They where all setup on a second account in my work Mac which had a danger will Robinson wallpaper because I know myself, far far too easy to mentally fat finger when you have two sets of creds.
Had a coworker have to drive across the country once to hit a power button (many years ago).
Because my suggestion they have a spare ADSL connection for out of channel stuff was an unnecessary expense... Til he broke the firewall knocked a bunch of folks offline across a huge physical site and locked himself out of everything.
Regarding Robot, I think that it's completely fine for what it is. I almost never interact with it, and instead just configure my server as I see fit over ssh. Hetzner's value proposition is extremely cheap no frills servers -- you're paying for the server, not the management interface. If you want management interfaces that do a lot of useful work, use a cloud.
