Jitbit condemns this war. I'm from Russia originally and I'm ashamed of my passport right now. Forgive us Ukraine 🇺🇦 💙💛

Just cancelled my Claude "Max" sub. Not because of the quota drama. Simply because my $20 Codex plan lasts longer than Anthropic's "Max" I spent a week throwing big refactors, new features, and weird tasks at it, including asking it to analyze Tailwind’s output.css for optimization opportunities. Final test: launching a huge marketing pipeline with multiple GSC MCP calls and @coreyhainesco's skills. It never dropped below 45% of the weekly limit. Not sure how thats possible. My guess: part of it is Claude Code system prompt being ~27k tokens, versus ~13k in Codex. P.S. Codex VS Code extension also feels more polished: nicer UI, better diffs, revert/reapply, etc.

This is still ongoing. We had a couple of IPs go from S3150s to "you've been mitigated" to hitting MTA connection limits. Not the only one, in a Slack where there's like every ESP moaning about this issue with Hotmail/MSN. They've messed something up.

Microsoft/Outlook is currently hard blocking a lot of email platforms and not replying to tickets. We had a few IPs hit, got them recovered via ticket, but other platforms aren’t getting any help. Mess.

probably customizing utilities via variables, so "p-2" becomes "--spacing * 2" (makes 0 sense - it has a compilation step anyway, I could use varable-based utility framwork) given it also has compilation bugs I'm this close to finding an alternative...

@nastyhobbit not just colors, every utility now generates a variable, padding, gap, spacing, everything comes with a --var + calc and shit

@IanLandsman Man, I was hoping same thing would happen to codesigning certs one day. But nope - MS and Apple are only tightening the rules :(( Now you need a certified hardware token or something (or conveniently pay for their cloud sign subscription hahah🙃 )

Don't take B2B SaaS advice from someone who's never worked at a f500 company OR sold to one. They don't know sh*t how decisions actually get made inside big corps

Of all the stresses that come with running a SaaS - spam, hacks, 3am downtimes, revenue troughs, angry customers, churn, chargebacks, legal threats, data loss, IP theft, hacker blackmail, and AI making you obsolete any day - the heaviest is still letting someone go.

@what_the_func @Szut For us it’s 100%. Sending thousands per minute. You just gradually build volumes and IP reputation and 15 years later you’re all set

@Szut Yeah but how's your deliverability? I'm a hard core DIY type person. I self host almost everything I can. Email though is a bitch to setup in a way that actually works well in the real world.

✉️ Trying @Cloudflare's new Email Sending feature today If you send 1,000,000 emails per month: - Postmark: $1,206/mo - Resend: $650/mo - SendGrid: $600/mo - Cloudflare: $354/mo - Amazon SES: $100/mo So Postmark is now by far the most expensive email provider And SES and Cloudflare are now the cheapest email providers I know my friend @marckohlbrugge is trying out SES now so I'll try Cloudflare and see how it is, SES is cheaper but Marc said it takes a bit more managing, and since I already use so much Cloudflare stuff it's nice to use them for email too With AI especially all of these are just as easy to use and setup in your app/site so economically it makes sense to go for the cheapest, because email is just email, it's all the same and deliverability is good with all of these I think TL;DR email sending has become a commodity!

AI danger is not slop, spam. bad code, fake videos etc, that can be dealt with it’s that if it makes everything 2000% more productive - you’re basically removing a dam. And removing a dam causes mare stress for the rest of the systems downstream. We’re all f*cked
