Autodesk’s fine has bankrupted our small studio. A few months ago, we made a serious mistake - we bought a Maya license from a fraudulent third-party seller. Autodesk hit us with a massive fine, far larger than the original error. Even after we explained our situation as a two-person indie team, they still enforced it in full. This has been incredibly tough and made us question everything. But after 7 years of hard work, we’re not ready to give up! To keep our studio going and fund the next game, we’re running our biggest discount ever: 87% off Wigmund. If you’ve wishlisted us, enjoyed our unique mouse-as-sword combat, or want to support a passionate two-person indie team, your help right now would mean the world to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. → Grab Wigmund at 87% off #Wigmund #IndieGame #IndieDev #SupportIndies #SteamSale
i've released the harness i used to optimise frontier.
added my state management library and now all of the queries and virtualised lists are faaasstt.
there really isn't enough people exploring ambient computing uses with ai. tools that embed intelligence into the background of the way we work or interact with others. to remove the friction and make things feel more magical.
🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products. My Take The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested. This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown. Hedgie🤗
Here is my latest article that explore the concept of fractal composability and how I apply it in my projects. It's a concept related to complexity science and the Complexity Oriented Programming paradigm. The Grammar That Never Outgrows Itself open.substack.com/pub/alternef/p…
