@jarredsumner Do you have any insight to share about the token usage and cost of this Rust porting? It would be nice to see it to get an idea about the engineering cost.

The people dunking on Bun’s Rust port are having a hard time coming up with a strong technical argument.

@EmiratesSupport Any changes to these dates now? Still, I can rebook only the flights that were booked before 31st May

@steipete @LeonKuzmin_ Same 🙏

@LeonKuzmin_ I still call it Twitter. Choices.

The latest CodexBar update renders API costs wayyyy nicer. codex.bar

Rust to Win! I love Bun! ❤️

@grah_uk @fayazara Make sure to have billing alerts. 🙏

How are you guys managing infinite billing as it scares me to move stuff out of the free tier. It terrifies me there is no hard cap when you move into the $5 plan. Anything production I have on a cheap VPS as it worries the hell out of me that I could run up a $10k+ bill, but would love to keep it all in Cloudflare.

The Cloudflare $5/mo plan is honestly absurd Workers - 10M requests D1 - 25B reads, 50M writes KV - 10M reads, 1M writes R2 - 10 GB storage, zero egress Email - $0.35 for 1000 emails Browser - 10 hours per month You also get Durable Objects, Queues, Workflows - included, Unlimited Hyperdrive queries, Vectors.

@levelsio @grok Resend is good for startups when they have almost no budget to start. When they start growing, they can move to SES. 😁

Resend is literally just SES with a 500% markup @grok fact check

Do all these LLMs have a system prompt that says, "Use as many tokens as possible"? 😁

@davronsharif @levelsio @Hetzner_Online Use a custom email, which is much easier to get through than a personal one.

@levelsio @Hetzner_Online Wanted that 20TB for my last project. Hetzner blocked me at passport verification — never got past KYC. Anyone made it through?

You get 20 TB of free bandwidth for $4.99/mo at @Hetzner_Online Way way way way more than enough for most websites! I'm not sponsored by them, I don't even get discounts or anything, just a great deal!

@LaendOnETH @zeddotdev @code It works the same as VS Code, but it is much faster. You can open multiple projects using Zed without consuming your resources. The debugger is something I like.

@ChathulaC @zeddotdev @code Interesting to hear about the performance boost! What specific features do you like most about Zed?

Moved to @zeddotdev with its stable release! It feels so much faster compared to @code. Let's see how long @zeddotdev can keep me! 🚀 #Development #Coding #Software

@zeddotdev @code Love to see some improvements in Git diff checker visibility. It opens all the files when I just need to check the diff only for one file. Even though it is selected, I'd love to see only the file I want to diff check.

@0xPrajwal_ 500 all the way 😁

DELETE /users/1 Should it return 204 or 404, if the user is already deleted?

@XFreeze But getting followers to earn is much harder compared to Facebook. 😪

𝕏 now does not take a pay cut from your Creator Subscription revenue You keep up to ~97% of gross revenue 𝕏 takes ZERO platform share Only third-party fees (payment processing, app store fees, refunds/chargebacks) are deducted 𝕏 is the only major platform that doesn’t take any pay cut from creator subscriptions and lets you keep nearly all the revenue you earn This is massive for creators

@ianvieira_ @freemoneyjack @bruvimtired @grok That's a wrong statement nowadays.

@freemoneyjack @bruvimtired @grok If you need to use Grok to know the answer, it’s not for you…

hold on a minute, so Apple is allowed to use Claude.ai accounts but no one else is?! everyone else has to use API key?????

@Hetzner_Online, @getdokploy, and @Cloudflare are such a nice startup combo. If you are deploying multiple vibe-coded (or even non-vibe-coded) applications, the infrastructure is ready to go with full control. ❤️ You just break fast and ship fast 💪

@mitchellh How lucky am I not to have seen that beautiful unicorn page in the last few days?

Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. I've visited GitHub almost every single day for over 18 years. It's never been a question for me where I'd put my projects: always GitHub. I'm super sad to say this, but its time to go. mitchellh.com/writing/ghostt…

@shadcn @github Software has its ups and downs. I still believe in GitHub; I like the GH experience ❤️

Rooting for @github. They’ve given me years of free infra. happy to give them some time to figure this out. You got this.

Creating a @Hetzner_Online account is more challenging than any bank KYC process I have gone through. Multiple account deactivations for my friend's project, and still unable to set up an account. Typical German bureaucracy.

@trq212 @om_patel5 Looks like so many hardcoded values.

@om_patel5 ugh sorry this was a bug with the 3rd party harness detection and how we pull git status into the system prompt we're reaching out to affected users and giving them a refund + another month of credits (in this case another $200)

THIS GUY LOST $200 IN ONE DAY BECAUSE THE STRING "HERMES.md" WAS IN HIS GIT COMMITS HERMES.md is a real convention used in AI agent projects. it's a system prompt specification file. not some obscure edge case he's on claude max 20x at $200 a month. yesterday claude code hit him with "you're out of extra usage" out of nowhere his dashboard showed 13% weekly usage. 0% current session. 86% of his plan was sitting there untouched but $200.98 in extra usage already burned through what should have been covered by his subscription he tried logout & login, different models, fresh installs and nothing worked anthropic support sent the ai bot (four rounds of the same scripted response). eventually they just gave up on him so he started binary searching repos and commits manually on his own time until he found the trigger the string "HERMES.md" in a recent git commit message uppercase, with the .md extension, anywhere in your commit history that's it claude code includes recent commits in its system prompt and something server side flags HERMES.md and quietly routes you off your max plan onto API rate billing > AGENTS.md? fine > README.md? fine > HERMES without .md? fine > lowercase hermes.md? fine > uppercase HERMES.md? you're getting charged API rates he reported it. anthropic support acknowledged the bug three times, called it an "authentication routing issue", thanked him for finding it then refused to refund the $200 so the man pays $200 a month for max, lost another $200 to a billing bug they confirmed, did anthropic's QA work for free on his weekend, and got a "thank you for your patience" in return check your commit history before claude code quietly drains your account too

@theo He wants to convince the market. 😁 I wish him good luck ❤️

I used to see these quotes as Dario being excited for the future. I now understand he just hates software engineers
