If you spent 20 seconds to generate a patch and just hurled over the fence to be reviewed is no worse than spending 3 hours to manually write a fix that fixes 1 thing and break 2 others.
If the website doesn't allow you to add multiple passkeys then that's bad ux and that's on them.
Especially this line: "I believe this was done in order to deliberately confuse users and encourage them not to look too closely at the fine text." Don't attribute to malevolence what you can attribute to incompetence
A lot of people have said there are pros and cons to any authentication method. Pass keys have drawbacks but they also for a lot of advantages.
If I use my old laptop to host stuff is fine. What if I live in an apartment building and a good neighbor has a big server and let's other poeple use it and host stuff on it. I have my own vm, etc. Does that count as self-hosting? I would say yes. What if I rent bare metal from a provider?
In my view self-hosting doesn't end at the boundary of my apartment.
As I said previously, everything comes down to trust. If I don't want to run my stack on someone else's computer because I don't know if they will be a good s steward of my data that's valid, and I should own my own hardware.
I think we need to be a bit more aware of our expectations from free products. By the end of the day on the free tier, and as long as you're not paying, you are a cost to the company. I think most of these problems go away if we don't rely or expect that much from free products. If we pay a little bit, even if it's just for the compute when self-hosting, it creates much healthier relationship.
The post also mentions GitHub. Let's be honest, they created a lot of value with the free tier, but we also can't have high expectations for a service we're not paying
I think as people realize that self-hosting is a good option. Good services will appear more
I think for the former we can wait for bethel model, have better skills or give them small enough tasks. But for the latter, the only solution is honestly just hosting your own agent and all this having access to the data it creates, what it runs and what it reads.
