They double and triple dip customers pretty hard today, I'd imagine margin lost on basic services like EC2 would shift to AWS specific services they can layer more costs on top of (i.e. RDS)

This is neat, and it's important to iterate on things we take for granted like what terminal emulator we use. But a larger question, at what point do we focus on the novelty of the project, not that it was written in a specific languag

Alpine isn't junk, but it is a layer in a lot of things that people use (ex. `golang:1-alpine`). Docker just makes it super opaque when you have to rotate images.

there are a couple other things to throw into the mix, housing doesnt just appear if we will it, you have to make it cheaper to build in the first place, and have some type of land value tax to encourage density. density is the answer thoug

Have you ever used Kubernetes? The abstraction it focuses on is running container images; building them and getting them to a registry is a whole separate abstraction.

Some common helpers are nice though, not sure that constitutes a framework but it definitely saves time not having to rewrite response compression and logging.

C interop can introduce a lot of complexity in the build toolchain. It's nice to have native versions of libraries like this, vs. relying on compiling c/c++/rust versions.
