My biggest take away from trying to find a Heroku alternative is that Heroku is late to the game of charging for a basic app. Other service might be free, but seem to have some sort of catch--only static, or requires a certain infrastructur

I think that's a very narrow interpretation of what a search engine does. Or a narrow interpretation of what the GP was doing. Probably both. You can look at it as GP having a vague idea of how much he wants to pay for this product and

I wonder if they're A/B testing it. Yesterday I wanted to filter a channel's videos and didn't see _any_ options to filter or sort. Now I'm seeing the option to sort by most popular, newest first, and oldest first,

I can't see any argument for how removing javascript navigation will make apps more complicated. The desired functionality is literally built into the browser.

Notice how the parenthesis is important? The original poster didn't include any such qualification, they just asserted "preventing rent from rising".

Your words were "You are literally preventing rents from rising", which is quite different, and wrong.

That's a very unfair take. My point was that some companies can say "we're adopting a WFH policy so that people can prioritize their out-of-work wants and needs" and other companies can say "we have an in-office pol
