Majority of my projects were the front page of hackernews, I also tracked traffic, engagement, and users each time. End result is its almost entirely for my own ego and my peers seeing what I've done. No lasting users
Serverless is Cloud 2.0. The goal is to abstract everything away, making it PFM so C-level execs at unicorn startups don't have to waste brain cycles understanding anything beyond their immediate "core competencies". And just like "the cloud" abstracted physical hardware, disks, etc. into PFM (you need a server, presto! an abstract server will appear when you cast the circle and wave money in Amazon's direction), so "serverless" abstracts away even this abstract server and its OS and software infrastructure.
The next step, obviously, is a softwareless infrastructure, allowing C-level unicorn execs to simply exert their will without going through pesky developers. Is this what the current "no code" trend is about?
