   There is value tied to free users, but also, not sure I want my work and data in a product that’s OK with DoD mass surveillance and I’m not sure my customers would want their data pumping through it either.

   One of my neighbors has a fleet of solar-powered, zero-emission, self-fertilizing, biodiversity-boosting autonomous lawn-care bots. He calls them tortoises.

   Yeah that’s at odds with its sycophancy, but also “what is ‘good’ thinking” and who controls that seems like a problem.

   Appreciate the feedback! We actually just changed our pricing about a week ago. We used to do individual seats, but we found that smaller teams—especially those without a dedicated ops function—typically weren’t at the stage where they need

   It is a single source of truth, but only what is managed through the platform. Private cloud isn't the best experience right now, its possible, but it requires our platform being able to 'get inside' so we either need a contr

    I love the idea of high-level intents and abstractions. They’re tough to get right, but when they click, they make dev teams move way faster. Cloud APIs mix operational and developer concerns, which is part of the problem. A single API call

    Hey! How's it been? I followed you on bsky a few days ago! Glad you liked it! Yeah, the typed connections are a big part of what makes Massdriver powerful. It makes sure infrastructure components integrate right without devs having to

    I'm here for the questions! > * You want to simplify infrastructure, but there's a new learning curve here. Why did you decide to go with diagramming as a solution? What other methods did you evaluate and discard? We try to mak

    Hey, we're just trying to accelerate your launch ;) I actually have a boilerplating tool I use to set up projects and it picks a random name from a text file at ~/cool-names.txt ...

    Seats are for any user of the UI and they aren't bound to a person, so you can reassign them as necessary. For larger teams we do buckets of seats with price reductions per-seat as the team size goes up. We don't rate limit deploy

    Thanks! And ... you're right! Massdriver isn’t aimed at pre-funded startups. Early-stage teams are often better off with a PaaS or setting things up manually until ops challenges become a bottleneck. Our pricing (5-seat minimum) is int
