regarding https://ziglang.org/news/migrate-to-self-hosting/ some people didn't understand why switching to self-hosting from the cloud makes website deployments faster. I didn't explain in the article, so I'll explain here: docker is slow, installing system dependencies is slow, uploading to the cloud is slow, etc. with self-hosting you set up the computer ahead of time, then just run a script that copies files around on the same computer, which is really fast.

@andrewrk I have been saying for long time to many people that migrating everything to the "cloud" is a big mistake. I saw many use cases where companies have problems of money because the cloud is expensive and even worse the loss of control. @andrewrk Bounties damage open source projects. https://ziglang.org/news/bounties-damage-open-source-projects/ @andrewrk You link to an issue but all the comments regarding bounties have been deleted, so it's hard to see what discussions led to this decision and why bounties seem so damaging. Not disagreeing with the choice, but the context would have been nice to know (maybe a summary somewhere?), especially in order to help other communities avoid the same pitfall. (but don't spend anymore time on this topic than you'd like to, please ignore me unless you want really want to explain more) If any Linux kernel hackers are listening, we (programming language standard library maintainers) need O_CLOFORK! https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22315
