SEOs keep sharing traffic screenshots for random sites from SEMrush and Ahrefs like it's accurate.
They’re not even close.
Here's an example?
This site had 63K users in GA last month.
SEMrush? ZERO.
In fact, this site died a while ago, according to the tool. 🙃

Oh come on, there is something charming about being clueless and staying up until 5am cold and alone while:
🙎🏻♂️ - "Still errors. Please fix it."
🙎🏻♂️ - "Still error. Fix. Think step by step."
🙎🏻♂️ - "no fix it again. We don't need 23 new node libraries installed either, please remove those"
🤖 - "Oh I see the issue now! 71 steps ago I deleted all of your .env data and removed all production ready code for test data. Would you like help with anything else? :)"

I hope this bug wasn’t fixed by Cursor 🤣
Last week, we asked Devin to make a change. It added an event on the banner component mount, which caused 6.6M @posthog events in one week, which will cost us $733
Devin cost $500 + $733 = $1273 😢👍

Why are so many autotest tool companies so secretive about their pricing? Why is the pricing page often hidden and even when you do find it, the best you’ll get is a "Contact Us" button. Do they not even know how much their software is worth? Applitools, Mabl, Testim, AccelQ?
GetWidget is a great Flutter UI-kit for building your own app design, especially if you don’t want to buy a template 😄. Do you know of any other easy-to-use UI kits for Flutter apps? Feel free to share!

I came across a funny prompt for ChatGPT:
"Based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my life looks like right now."
Here’s the result and it’s actually pretty spot-on 😎
Configured Cloudflare cache for a non-profit project. The main goal was to speed up access for users far from the server's location.
🚀 Average page load time dropped from 2–3 seconds to just < 100 ms.
🤖 Important pages are also regenerated after cache clearing using Playwright script.
But...
..but
The Pro and Business plans allow purging the entire cache or clearing specific pages by URL.
For more detail cache control via the API, such as purging by tags, hostnames, or prefixes - Cloudflare requires an Enterprise plan which "Contact Us" pricing model 😳
