For a very small subset of developers.

The last time I was tethered to a Heroku installation, I spend 60% of my time coding, and 40% of my time working around Heroku's shortcomings.

It doesn't matter how many times you reply to people on HN stating that their position is "provably false," that doesn't make it true.

I've been using Heroku for many serious projects since its inception. It's been nearly a zero effort, especially compared to doing it all myself. This alone is enough to prove the statement false (counterexample).

A little nitpicky here, but the original claim is "shouldn't be used for anything serious" which is an entirely subjective statement. I don't know if proving something subjective is false is really possible.

That's the fault of the original claimer. They shouldn't be making subjective claims and trying to pass it off as objective.
