I'm actually quite amassed that some developers are completely oblivious to the underpinnings of how their software works. Some of them really do feel source code runs on water vapour!

If you are genuinely having a break down because Heroku will stop being free and you haven't figured out that there are absolutely hundreds of other ways to achieve the "serverless feel"--which is basically near free as well, then there is no more hope left for humanity!

I'm not sure who you are referring to with your condescending commentary. Easy-to-deploy high-level-of-abstraction application hosting services offering a free tier (like Heroku for the last 10 years) is a great thing to have IMO.

The fact that you know how software and operating systems work under the hood doesn't mean you'd necessarily want to build everything from scratch and setup Linux servers for all of your hobby projects.

You're "amassed"? I don't think the thing you're worried about is that great a threat to humanity.
