Amazon tripled the prices for their auth service AWS Cognito

With the new tier system they only offer 10k free users per month, and every user above that costs $0.015

The old plans had 50k free users and excess users cost $0.0055

This is almost a triple price! #aws

Added OG image for the website.

If you rely on AI to write all your code, you're not really programming — you're just reviewing code.

I prefer writing code myself rather than simply reviewing and approving AI-generated code

Finally started implementing the design for my latest indie project saasprices.net?utm_source=bs

This is a tool for devs to find the best prices for SaaS tools we often use, and to compare and find alternatives.

Hopefully people find this useful

Made with SvelteKit and Svelte 5

Give it a try!

I'm using Go for this years advent of code.

I dont know anything about coding in GoLang yet, so this will be for fun and for learning.

I need a place to start, does anyone have a good course or a youtube channel or something to get me started?

The more popular ai based coding tools get, the more valuable creative, non-ai methods become.

Proof of human, proof of work becomes 100X more valuable.

Dont make the generic AI look, make your stuff look like its made by real people.

I've been working on image transformation lately, trying to make images small and faster.

I started out with Cloudinary, which is a good tool.
But I was wondering if there were any cheeper alternatives around.

Turns out there is!
So I calculated a bit and blogged about the results!

Secure your API endpoints from abuse by adding a ratelimiter that prevents excessive use.

This can be done by saving the ip addresses in redis and checking with the Ratelimit library Upstash

Capturing events are crucial to know how your users are using your webapp.

I like to use PostHog for both events and web analytics.

This is how you capture backend events, it's really easy.

And you get a nice dashboard with graphs for all your events!

Numbers in JavaScript can be written in code with _ as a separator

This makes reading big numbers easier!

In SvelteKit the form element is used to send data to actions as formData. And the checkbox input type behaves kinda weird, if its checked its sent as the string “on” to the action, and if its unchecked it gets omitted from the formData object.

This is how I do it:

Webstorm is now offering a free license for non-commercial users.

I've been testing it out for the last couple of days and it kinda makes me feel more professional, dont know why 😄

Still alot to get used to!

Do you have any tips for a VS Code user to get going with webstorm?

AI makes it too easy to copy others.
There are so many people with nothing to lose and plenty of time.
So they can easily copy your idea.

But the real challenge is in marketing, and they dont have AI tools (yet) to do the marketing for what they copied.

Keeping track of errors in prod is essential to have a healthy app.

Use @sentry.io to gather all your error reports in one place.

It's really easy with JavaScript apps, just configure sentry in your app and capture the exceptions like this:
