As the solo engineer at a tiny startup, I need to use every tool available to work as efficiently as possible.

That includes AI.

Sometimes it produces garbage and sometimes it's perfect on the first try.

Today I vibe coded a 2FA TOTP generator app in about 5 minutes with a single short prompt 🤯

Auto-expanding HTML textareas (and other inputs) are now possible with a single line of CSS 🤯

128 MB of memory is a terrible default even for simple Lambda functions, especially those that back anything user-facing.

Serverless Framework had a good idea to default to 1024 MB while AWS CDK and AWS SAM still default to 128 MB.

Who can spot when I gave this poor function more memory?

AWS Users: "The AWS console is too confusing and difficult to use."

AWS: "How about a cute robot dog gif?"

I've been gaming on different desktop PCs that I built myself for 20+ years.

100% of my playtime this year was on @steamdeck.com and I didn't use my gaming rig at all 🤯

Interesting pricing model for a SaaS that I saw today:

Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime pricing where the Lifetime price is equal to 3x the Yearly price

Getting the Lifetime payment up front seems nice (especially if you see high churn) while sacrificing long-term recurring revenue.

What do you think?

Something that every web framework should have in their docs - bundle sizes for individual components or imports. 🤯
