You say you don't like stacks, and that you don't need them.

But you pay a subscription to run a stack of software in anothers people computer.

btw wtf is raw postgres?

A LLM can't "realize" anything. Unless you are saying that LLMs are aware.

Can't your stack do that for you?

The one I use creates the migrations, locally, for free and deterministically in about 30 seconds.

Uber changes the pricing depending on the demmand. Taxis can't do that, they are regulated by law in most of the west.

Predictable my ass. You have been lied to.

And btw all over the world you rise up your arm, and the taxi stops, I think that is a pretty consistent user interface that anybody in the world can understand. I have to help my aunt each time she needs an Uber.

lomase··on What if I don't want videos of my hobby time available to the world?

A Youtuber can record you on the street without problems.
