What do Steam Winter Sales and the OBBBA have in common? Both sneak up and wreck your wallet. Starting 2026: Gambling losses capped at 90% = phantom income. Win $10K, lose $10K, owe tax on $1K. US itemizers: Dec 31 is your last bet day. #fanduel gamemakerblog.com/2025/12/04…

PSA: Free models often = free prompt & output training. Anything you paste. Anything it generates. Both can live in logs or training sets. API keys. Screenshots of your .env. Server configs. All of it. #.env #ai #vibecoding #gcs #billsgonewild gamemakerblog.com/2025/09/11…

"Replacing junior devs with AI is ‘one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.’" — AWS CEO Matt Garman. Don’t worry though… I’m sure forcing SDE's to copy-paste from Amazon Q will mold those juniors into Prompt Principals in no time. #ai #devs #sde gamemakerblog.com/2025/08/31…

You shipped fast. Users signed up. It felt real. But did you get E&O insurance, lock down your buckets, enable RLS? Fast Fashion SaaS also means Fast Fashion Lawsuits. gamemakerblog.com/2025/08/23… #vibecode #saas #PSA #FastFashionSaaS

Be careful when using AI tools with pay-per-use pricing. You’re not just paying for your prompt — you’re paying for every line of context, every code snippet, every asset description. One weekend of vibe coding can = $300 bill. gamemakerblog.com/2025/04/27… #GameDev #vibecode #AI
