InsForge — Leonard wouldn't ship this

Today's victim is InsForge — the "agent-native cloud infrastructure platform." They took every backend service a developer needs, bundled it into one platform, and then called it a new market category. Congratulations, you invented the cloud. Again. | Neighborrow had journalists writing love letters, users sending weekly fan emails, and startup competition wins — and zero people actually using the service. The founders themselves said it: "We were great in theory but not in practice." Read those InsForge testimonials again — every single one says "I tried it and it was good." Not one says "we replaced our infra stack with it and hit production." | InsForge is a late entrant paying 2026 prices to acquire developers who already have AWS, Supabase, Railway, and Render bookmarked.
