Don't sleep on this as a means of standing out.
However, "showing up" is not usually a singular act.
Instead, it's showing up, again and again and again, that nets you the opportunities.

Sometimes, opportunity just means showing up.

If you're thinking of leaving Heroku, here's a simple mapping:
If you want the easiest switch, go with Render.
If you want Docker and more flexibility, go with Fly.
If you want to be a sysadmin, use a VPS (don't need to scale) or Amazon ECS (do need to scale)

"What is simple in the early days becomes a tax of trying to trace down what and where something is." <- This is the joy of the MVP and the curse of legacy code (read "code that makes money").
The more I work with Ruby the more I am inclined to turn off autoloading and explicitly require things. Really, the more I'm inclined in general to be explicit about things.

Lots of product teams are being tempted to save costs by vibe coding a replacement to some SaaS app.
Managers on such teams need to ask two questions: what will it cost to maintain and who will train people on the tool?
Someone will make a lot of money solving the proliferation of vibe coded apps.
