ponderclub.co has lost players bc i use claude code although our games/designs don't use AI, i heavily rely on claude code to execute as fast as we do i think it's important to be transparent about ai usage in your product instead of hiding it and eroding trust

i can't believe that @tursodatabase is down again in less than a month! 😭 can't afford to lose anymore customer trust -- are there any better alternatives or do i have to go back to the dreaded @awscloud UI?
