There's a pattern playing out across indie hacker forums, engineering blogs, and Discord servers right now: a founder builds a product on GPT-4-class models, ships it, gets traction — and then opens a bill that makes them question the whole business model. LLM costs have a nasty habit of scaling linearly (or worse) with usage, right at the moment a product starts succeeding. In response, a growing body of developer tutorials is focused on one goal: keeping the intelligence, dropping the invoice....

Many developers and knowledge workers read English every day. Documentation, GitHub issues, product updates, research papers, API references, blog posts, changelogs, technical reports. But most of the useful language inside those materials disappears after we finish reading. We may understand the article in the moment, but later forget the phrases, sentence patterns, and vocabulary that made the explanation clear. I have noticed this especially with technical English. A word or ph...

The evening Étienne asked to see the numbers Tuesday evening, end of the day, the open space had cleared except for Étienne. Étienne holds sixty percent of the house and spends his working week at a fund that acquires software publishers, and he looks at ERPs all year the way others read balance sheets. He sat on the edge of my desk, a metal water bottle in hand, and said what he always says when he senses someone is telling themselves a story. "What's that based on?" I was about to ans...

The question you don't dare ask out loud It's 10:40 PM on a Tuesday, I just closed an ADR — the seventy-fourth in this setup, written conscientiously, dated, cross-referenced with its migration, its contract test, and the commit that triggered it. And the question rises, the way it always rises at that hour when you've been coding alone for ten hours: who did I just write this for . No tech lead to convince, no PR review that'll catch it, no hypothetical acquirer to reassure, no architectur...

Episode 1/4 of the mini-series The week Supabase lied to me 4 times . The three following episodes cover a mutation silently swallowed by the SDK [CANONICAL URL EPISODE 2: to fill in after push], an RLS recursion resolved by a JWT hook [CANONICAL URL EPISODE 3: to fill in after push], and a query that stops at exactly 1000 rows without saying so [CANONICAL URL EPISODE 4: to fill in after push]. The Tuesday the security probe spoke It's 9:12am on a Tuesday in May. The daily d...

Installing Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS in an offline mode (no LAN cable or WiFi connected) leaves you with an unmanaged network interface which requires manual configuration post-install. The interface enp4s0 is unmanaged by systemd-networkd and also the service itself is disabled. NOTE: This guide applies to Ubuntu server. On Ubuntu desktop you have the NetworkManager service installed and the steps would be different. To fix the problem follow the steps below: Create a Brand Ne...

Note: If you're new to execution calculations, I'd recommend starting with my previous post which covers them in detail, then coming back here. What is attribute capturing and why would you use it Attribute capturing refers to directly exposing certain attributes to your execution calculation from attribute sets, to be used in execution calculations. Capturing attributes lets you handle things like damage in a more complex way. So for example, you could have advantages an...

Here's a bug that looks impossible until you understand Gson. You have this data class in your Pokedex app: data class PokemonStat ( @SerializedName ( "base_stat" ) val baseStat : Int , val stat : StatInfo ) A teammate cleans up the code and deletes what looks like a redundant line: data class PokemonStat ( val baseStat : Int , // @SerializedName removed val stat : StatInfo ) It comp...

Slides have an odd status in engineering: we make them constantly, but we treat them as disposable. They rarely live in a repo. They rarely go through review. The diagram you spent twenty minutes aligning in Keynote is gone the moment the talk ends. Dinghy's Slide Builder treats a slide like any other artifact: a folder of source files that compiles to a single deliverable. What it is A presentation builder layered on top of RevealJS , wired into the same Dinghy CLI you alr...

I’m building Euro Toolhub , a German-first index of European software, SaaS, cloud and AI alternatives. The idea is simple: many companies, agencies, developers and privacy-conscious users want alternatives to common tools when they care about things like data residency, open source, self-hosting, European jurisdiction or reducing dependency on non-European providers. But most existing lists stop at listin...

KiCad, a PCB EDA suite is now working in a browser, you can try it at the link, there's a demo project or you can bring your own. Firefox is best, Chrome is good, Safari is "working". We’re Emergence Engineering, a dev shop from Hungary, mostly working with rich text editors, CRDTs. PCBJam started as my (Viktor, CTO, ex-electrical engineer) hobby project but as time went on I put more and more energy into it, and a product started shaping up in my head, in the last few months we’ve started to fo...
