I got a Motorola Razr because it was an affordable folding phone and was shocked by how nice it is. As in I, a cheapskate, may actually have brand loyalty now.
1. I hope you're saying your ears hurt from physically wearing headphones, not from volume.
2. Many responses in this thread self-diagnose with many disorders because of the need to wear headphones in an open office environment. Open office environments are like emergency rooms filled with crying babies -- they feel almost intended to distract. This is true of "baseline", "normal", "non-disordered", whatever the codeword of the day is for average humans.
Open offices save employers more money (they hope) in space than they lose in lowered productivity. There's no reason to think your average Joe or Jane can just carry on working in one as efficiently as in a private office.
Money, I suppose? Heroku is notoriously trivial to use, and notoriously expensive for the amount of storage and compute you get.
A semi-successful but not heavily monetized side project on Heroku could cost you an arm and a leg, while running the same thing on some Hetzner box under Dokku, along with a couple of others, may be not that much noticeable.
Eh. It's really the implementation is garbage. I'd love every textbox that submits data to have a 6pt red-on-white caption that has only the words "Anything typed in this box is not private".
