Totally get that feeling - you build this amazing modern highway and then hit the ERP swamp. That "tangle" you mentioned is the real killer. We hit a...
Yeah, that's a noticeable increase for sure. I just checked my dashboard from a small prototype last month, and my per-task cost aligns with your new ...
Been there, and that silent hang is truly maddening! Since you've already checked packages and network reachability, I'm leaning towards the debug ste...
Great question, and perfect timing - my team just went through this exact comparison for a similar stack. For your main goal of not slowing down devs...
