Comments should never describe code. Code should describe code.

Built a script to reduce fees for hosting my apps ✨ Now my only monthly fee is the bare hosting, which can be as little as $5/month 💸

I used AI to 3D-print this cactus shelf (for my aunt). Here's my workflow:

Cool benefit of writing analytics (requests), logs and errors to same db: Can query requests with all it's logs and any errors thrown in a single view.

Built an uptime monitor with Claude. It took less than 1 hour to build..

The problem with hosting nowadays: 1. It's not just about running a server. You need observability too (analytics, log storage, error tracking and uptime monitoring). 2. Databases shouldn't be extra. 3. I don't want 6 bills. 4. I want to run on my infra. 5. I don't want to spend time on setup.

Pretty rad. Run this with Claude CLI: > Improve the performance of this machine

Rough idea I've been kicking around: An open source planter 🌱🪴 - Mostly 3D printed (except LED strip, earth, seeds, wicks) - Number of plants is parametric, just print the dimensions you need - Compatible with "Click & Grow" cups

In the late 90s, a couple devs and a marketing person left Microsoft and started a gaming company. Today that company has 331 employees and has revenue of ~$50M per employee, higher than Microsoft, Google and Apple. https://medium.com/@monicah428/the-early-days-of-valve-from-a-woman-inside-bf80c6b47961
