Why are you repeatedly stating that the post is an ad as if it is some sort of dunk? Companies have blogs. Tech blogs often produce useful content. It is possible that an ad can both successfully promote the company and be useful to engineers. I find the Fly blog to be particularly well-written and thoughtful; it's taught me a good deal about Wireguard, for instance.

And that sounds fine, but Wireguard is not an overhyped industry promising huge gains in the future to investors and to developers jumping on a bandwagon who can find problems for this solution.

I actually have built agents already in the past and this is my opinion. If you read the article the author says they want to hear the reasoning for disliking it, so this is mine, the only way to create a business is raising money and hoping somebody strikes gold with the shovel Im paying for.

How would you feel about this post if the exact same content was posted on a developer's personal blog instead?

I ask because it's rare for a post on a corporate blog to also make sense outside of the context of that company, but this one does.

They're mentioning WireGuard because we do in fact do WireGuard, unlike LLM agents, which we do not offer as a service.

You keep saying this, but there is nothing in this post about our service. I didn't use Fly.io at all to write this post. Across the thread, someone had to remind me that I could have.

Sorry, I assumed a service offering Virtual machines shares python code with the intent to get people to run that python on their infra.

Yes. You've caught on to our devious plan. To do anything I suggested in this post, you'd have to use a computer. By spending compute cycles, you'd be driving scarcity of compute. By the inexorable law of supply and demand, this would drive the price of compute cycles up, allowing us to profit. We would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you.

Scooby Doobie Doooo!
