The idea that "agent harness" is the thing people actually want is laughable.

The fact that author automatically jumps to “distributed system cloud goodness” has me glazed over. We don’t need a new Wordpress that subscribes to today’s current tech trends. “It doesn’t scale well” what does that even mean?

Do people really prefer to see vCPU pricing in per-second increments? Is this useful for any person? Presumably no information is conveyed by the first 4 significant digits. And can anybody compare this pricing to e.g. AWS or Google Cloud? I have never known my compute cost to second resolution, so I'd need to do calculations to even ballpark this. Suggestion: Don't obfuscate the price, just remove it. Clearly you don't really want casual browsers to know how much you're charging[1]. Which: fine, this is the current trend in tech. So just remove the pricing and put your calendar link there as a CTA instead. Be classy. Don't play games with your audience. 1 - anybody who plugs this into a calculator will a) understand why you don't show monthly pricing and b) think this is screamingly expensive. Which reinforces my recommendation to just replace the price with a CTA and your calendar link.
