Thankfully, we’re already out looking for Prime Day deals, and we were able to find some discounts on both […]

Notable releases I'm watching: Deno 2.8, Models.dev, DeepSeek V4 Pro permanent pricing

Five things from this week's HN and dev.to worth bookmarking if you're building with AI APIs and shipping static sites on a tight budget. DeepSeek makes the V4 Pro discount permanent DeepSeek announced this week that their previously temporary V4 Pro price cut is now permanent. The cost gap between DeepSeek and GPT-4o-class APIs at the high-throughput end is now large enough that it's worth benchmarking against your current setup. I'm running Claude Haiku 4.5 for content gen...

How I built a YouTube performance classifier that adjusts tomorrow's video script bias

I've been running an automated YouTube channel alongside three programmatic directory sites since April. The video side uses a two-host VTuber pipeline that generates daily scripts and renders them overnight. What I didn't have until last week was any feedback mechanism — the script generator just produced content in a vacuum, with no idea which videos were actually landing. The fix is scripts/yt-analytics/run.py , a 330-line Python script that runs daily, reads the last 30 videos via th...

I Scanned 1,200 MCP Configs From GitHub. Here's What I Found.

A deep-dive into the security posture of real-world AI agent deployments — and the open-source tool I built to fix it. TL;DR I collected 1,200 real MCP (Model Context Protocol) configuration files from public GitHub repositories, scanned them with an open-source security tool I built, and found that: 100% had security gaps 20.7% had CRITICAL or HIGH issues (hardcoded secrets, unauthenticated endpoints, unrestricted shell execution) 0 of 1,200 configured respo...

How to Design an Event-Driven Analytics Pipeline — A System Design Deep Dive

Interview prep series: real problems, real trade-offs, no hand-waving. The Problem Worth Solving Here's a scenario straight from a fintech startup I worked at. We had field agents responsible for onboarding customers, managing investments, and handling deposits and withdrawals. Management wanted to shift from a fixed salary model to fixed + commission — where commission depended on each agent's monthly performance. The immediate instinct was: just write a SQL query. And...

Enterprise AI Agents Have a Control Plane Now | Focused Labs

Cheap to create, expensive to manage. Added into Microsoft 365, Google Cloud, ServiceNow, Slack, data warehouses, support queues, and custom applications, enterprise AI agents have become an operating estate that the market wants to operate. So the market is now increasingly focused on the operating aspects of agents rather than the small trick of getting an agent to respond in a chat. I just read about Microsoft Agent 365, which is framed around observing, governing, and securing agents thr...

The Empire Strikes Back: Mastering Database Backups & Disaster Recovery

The Quest Begins (The "Why") I still remember the night our staging database went dark. A rogue migration script had wiped a critical table, and the only “backup” we had was a nightly pg_dump that we’d never actually tried to restore. When the alarm blared at 2 a.m., I felt like I was standing in front of a closed gate with no key—frantic, helpless, and wondering if we’d ever see our data again. That moment was the dragon I needed to slay: unreliable backups and a disaster‑recovery plan t...

How TF do you get paying SaaS customers?

I'm in pain trying to get customers through cold email, marketing posts, videos etc... I know I have a useful product - cloud coding agents at repobird.ai but I can't get paying customers. I get some user sign-ups here and there but they seem to only use up free credits and peace out. I ask for feedback through emails and other means, nobody cares enough to do it - even when offering free credits. I just want to make a valuable product for customers and iterate/improve on it with their feedbac...

The chain shouldn't store your data: anchoring proofs, not data

In 2015, Tim Berners-Lee — the inventor of the World Wide Web — was asked about blockchain-based identity and gave a direct answer: The chain is too slow. The chain is too expensive. The chain is too public. He was right. A decade later, the identity-on-blockchain conversation has matured. Most credible identity projects no longer propose storing personal data on chain. The cryptography has gotten more refined; the architectural discipline has improved; the lessons of "let's just put ev...

Typical SaaS Churn Rate: How Bootstrapped Founders Can Benchmark and Protect Their Runway

This article was originally published at https://saastools.corenk.com/articles/typical-saas-churn-rate You closed March at $13,780 MRR. Celebration lasted about twelve hours. On the morning of the 1st, $689 walked out the back door — quiet cancellations, failed card charges, a customer who simply stopped logging in. Nobody screamed. Nobody called. That's the horror of churn you don't benchmark: one month of "average" attrition at 5% looks survivable, but compounded over a year, you've alre...

Por qué las páginas web públicas son ahora accesibles de formas que antes eran impensables Hubo un tiempo en que "ver algo en una web" y "usar ese dato en código" eran dos mundos separados.

I built Zeninvo — free invoicing for freelancers

Hey dev community 👋 I just launched Zeninvo — a free invoicing app for freelancers and small teams who want to send professional invoices without wrestling with bloated accounting software.

There Are Two Ways To Make Something Better

This article argues that there are two fundamental, and often conflicting, ways to improve things: Refinement: Patiently making small, incremental improvements to an existing system. This is low-risk and how most progress happens. Rebuilding: Radically questioning the system itself and being willing to tear it down to build something better. This is high-risk, disruptive, and often seen as reckless.

Rural America Doesn't Have a Fiber Problem. It Has a Reality Problem

Despite $42 billion in federal broadband funding, rural connectivity remains constrained by geography, economics, and deployment timelines. Drawing on 26 years of field experience, Viaero's Venkat Potluri argues that Fixed Wireless Access and Open RAN should complement—not compete with—fiber if the U.S. wants to close the rural broadband gap faster.
