LLMs can do fiddly slogs that are meticulous and require expertise.
Vercel is all about lots of small fiddly details for a great developer experience.
You trade off a fixed cost for a variable cost, which is good for the developer.
But the trade is that now you as a developer are stuck paying rent.
Before PMF, the developer experience helps you iterate quickly.
Then, you hit PMF and start scaling, but that's the worst time to rewrite things to get off of Vercel.
But now you're a massive thing paying huge margins to a service just for slightly better developer experience.
Now with LLMs it's easy to replicate detail-oriented good experiences in a way that was difficult before.
