When you become an engineer in Canada, you take an oath
To never cause harm/suffering/etc to humans as a result of your work
This applies equally, if not more, to business
Both can be used for good (to remove suffering) or evil (to add it)
Do good work. Don't be evil

The problem with this, and why I think people are frustrated:
Nobody has taught folks how to do this
It feels both evidently the future and also somehow gatekept

The Railway Agent continues to get better
It can fan off it's own sandboxes, snapshot it's filesystems, create PRs for you, listen to metrics
What else do you need Railway Agent to do for you?

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore.
You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

Distribution is blocked
Multiplayer is blocked
Generational impact on offer for solving either (let alone both)
I think the challenge is that everyone can now build apps
But
1) almost nobody has distribution (like an audience), or
2) the money to pay for distribution (ads or UGC), or
3) the creative genius to get distribution for free (classically called guerilla marketing)

You probably could guess, Railway's edge network serves a lot of traffic
And it's growing very, VERY quickly. So we had to rebuild it recently, to land 60 POPS instead of our prior 4
Here's the story of how we built a 100m RPS CDN in 30 days

Faster by default

Ironically, we were having reliability issues with our status page provider
We'd call an incident, things wouldn't update, people would be upset (rightfully so)
Now the system is distributed on Railway, with global caching, running across multiple AZs and clouds

We’re launching the Railway embedded console
A portal to a fully versionable filesystem, that you your agents can evolve over time
All the best parts of a $5 VPS, but on steroids
Railway's built in SSH console 🤝 Hermes Agent by @NousResearch
