My $2/month VPS has stopped and can't even boot, so I've switched provider. It seems like most server providers don't want to offer <$5 machines, and I imagine it's hard to make money at the low end. Several providers require a one-off setup fee too.

It's funny how languages can offer multiple forms of syntax, but formatters standardise to a single form. E.g. single vs double quotes in JS, optional semicolons in JS, different ways of grouping imports in Rust. Should new languages be more syntactically opinionated?

Should code completion offer private methods/fields? If the user chooses a private method, you can offer a quickfix to change its visibility. It's clutter though. I frequently find myself wanting fields that I haven't exposed yet, and frustrated that the IDE hides them.
