> The people who use Vercel don't know anything about how to deploy on AWS

Ehhhh. I’ve been deploying to AWS professionally for years and I’d choose Vercel for a personal project any day of the week.

Life’s too short to play devops/sysadmin/sre without someone paying you the big bucks.

This. Anyone who has done enough ops knows that a platform (Vercel, Heroku, Netlify etc) which lets devs connect a git repo with a couple of clicks, and deploys automatically happen is a good devops experience.

This is great for personal projects. This is great for budding projects in a professional setup as well.

If I never again have to write a httpd.conf or nginx.conf file from scratch it will be too soon.

Either you mean 'too late' or that's a complicated way of making a dissenting point?

It’s an idiom that means I never want to do this again. Even if I waited an infinite amount of time, it would still be too soon to have to write httpd.conf or nginx.conf files again.

I'm a native English speaker, I'm well aware of the (misused here) idiom.

You could also have said 'ever' instead of 'never', that would be a simpler and better fix on re-reading.

Huh, what was I smoking? I don't even smoke. That's not right, don't know what I was thinking, sorry!

This x100. I use gcp, DO, and Vultr, for almost everything (ml, be, vas, etc.) but for webapps, vercel wins 9/10 times.
