sucks: fly backburnering the app platform to build sprites.

Hard to interpret that as anything but the thing I like being backburnered. Which is how it goes, but sucks.

Ah, that's fair! I just got the impression that other people on this thread were axiomatically deriving that we were killing Machines, rather than just shifting the roadmap towards Sprites.

Well, I do interpret this is step one towards a forthcoming post titled "Our Incredible Journey [with Fly Machines]"...

Whether that comes to pass depends on sprite uptake and so forth, but I believe it to be a lot more likely than I did a month ago. So, like I said, bummed, because fly is genuinely nice and I dislike using aws.

That's nice of you to say, and I appreciate it. I'd be sad in the event you're describing too! I spent a lot of time on Fly Machines (not nearly as much as JP and Peter, though).

Could we not just forklift our fly thing to sprite I wonder (if it came down to that, that is) ?
