I like the parts of gcp I've used on my gently caress around / learn stuff projects. right now it uses gcp dns, load balancer, cdn, and cloud storage. GCLB recently added 'automatically managed https certificates' which is nice because now I don't have to run a bunch of letsencrypt commands every couple months. I'm confident https://www.goatse.gop could efficiently handle millions of users if it ever needed to (it won't). Cloud shell is also really convenient, and I've enjoyed loving with cloud build and kubernetes engine.

gcp has the best cost exploration out of all of the providers, with a simple way to split projects up and look at them individually. their kubernetes offering is also the best by far.

because I never formally learned to be a terrible programmer (I just do whatever because we don't have enough 'real' developers to do the work we have) I had never heard of metaclasses but it seems like you should just use inheritance, an interface, or a public method instead of passing some funky magic other class around to add methods that guarantees your refactoring is going to be more complicated than it has to be like, it seems too clever for its own good.

Common metaprogramming uses are things like defining data classes from some parsed schema file If you're lucky this happens at build time and then you can then use that generated class as if it were any other in your code. If you're unlucky this happens at runtime and then you're in full reflection territory basically forced to have code that looks at the string method names etc it's so bad

in Foundation, automatic notification of key-value observers for a property involves generating a subclass on the fly that then overrides the property’s setter(s) to send the will/did notifications around invocations of the original, and swizzle the object’s class identity (its isa pointer) to the subclass
