Visited the UK recently and had to obviously go through the same thing; had to click "I just want to use the online thing" 3 times. Was very frustrating.
Someone else commented on this already, but I had to fly Ryan Air while I was there and after booking the tickets, I found out that the only way to get a boarding pass is by installing their app.
I hear a lot of complaints about dotnet watch, but my experience doesn't match. I just use it from the terminal (instead of running it from an IDE) and it mostly just works.
I mentioned this another comment, but the LLM requirement is more of a nice to have. What's more important is the overall experience: linux support, good trackpad, nice keyboard, battery life, screen, customer support experience, etc.
A lot of people have asked about more details. I am going to reply here and hope it gets enough visibility.
Right now, it's a simple web app + db + redis queue. We'll start with just one prod server (and a test/staging server perhaps?) with some kind of a failover setup. My goal is to keep operational complexity to a minimum. I plan to avoid k8s and just use docker compose/docker swarm/dokku.
I have seen enough places burned by going with the big 3 - either through billing, support, or the sheer complexity of managing everything. You might start of with good intentions but you tack on a service because it's easily available and the next thing you know your costs have creeped up and moving things has become a non trivial project that you don't have time for.
I am just looking for a box I can run my setup on with fair pricing, good support, and enough reputation where I have faith they are not going to fold in 6 months. And if things go south, I want to be able to migrate easily.

It's quite bleak.
