   regarding https://ziglang.org/news/migrate-to-self-hosting/

   some people didn't understand why switching to self-hosting from the cloud makes website deployments faster.

   I didn't explain in the article, so I'll explain here:

   docker is slow, installing system dependencies is slow, uploading to the cloud is slow, etc.

   with self-hosting you set up the computer ahead of time, then just run a script that copies files around on the same computer, which is really fast.
