I don't know if it's placebo but using Fable for those few days it felt it just never gave up on problems and kept trying crazy ways to get whatever you wanted done. Now back on Opus and it's kinda lazy, thinks things are too daunting and keeps asking if you sure

My friend went to an indie hacker meetup this week and said this: "i went to indie hacker meetup so what’s really interesting is that almost everyone is super focused on development. they build these whole spaceships that generate code, review it, make all kinds of reports, analytics, and so on. one guy built an entire factory: he has a list of ideas, and agents generate the landing page, the saas, the analytics, and pull everything into one dashboard. straight-up sci-fi. and they focused optimize all of it like crazy. and you can really see how comfortable that is for them. but the most interesting part is that almost none of them have money or traffic. and nobody knows where to get either one. you often hear something like, yeah, i should probably do on marketing, but first i’ll finish my super system and then i’ll start. or in best i would need to make agent that will post to instaram automatically before, the classic programmer would spend a year writing code, tests, preparing for scale in the basement, and not show anything to anyone. now it’s even worse: the amount of useless aislop nobody needs has grown massively."

I don't write code anymore I haven't written code in I think 6 months? I think everyone is like this no?

*how*, though? I'm building a new project that's not even too complex and when doing incremental improvements (not even saying new full fledged features), almost every time something breaks. using mostly 5.5 recently because opus seems to be worse in that regard.

By far THE most annoying part of running a business for me is collecting receipts for my accountant Every month my accountants hounds me for invoices and receipts of every single expense I did, doesn't matter how tiny like $0.50, sometimes also for income (I don't know why) Most companies charge monthly so that means collecting 12 invoices per year at least One reason I am canceling so many SaaS is not even the cost, it's just that I hate bookkeeping so much so I think if I don't spend the money, I don't need to collect invoices and receipts for every single payment every month (also I like extremely high profit margins like 99.99%) I'm down to just about 10 companies I pay now, like Cloudflare, Hetzner, Backblaze etc. so that means only ~120 invoices to collect per year cause most are paid monthly Yes I have an automatic email filter that forwards invoices to my accountant but many companies do NOT send you an automatic invoice by email So you're talking about logging in to 10 websites, them sending you a 2FA code by email, opening your email, entering the code, trying to find wherever the Billing page is hidden, going to Invoices, opening the invoice, clicking Download to DPF (if it even exists) This week I tried to improve this, my accountant uses Xero, so I made a Xero API key, gave it to Claude Code, and asked it to login and figure stuff out, then it just asks me which expenses still need a receipt and a note, I find it and drag the PDF or screenshot into Claude Code and it resolves it Next step is letting it login to all my vendors and also download the invoice by itself which seems very very possible Much easier!

I laugh when I see people in holding their laptops half open so their Claude Code doesn't shut off All my projects run on a @Hetzner_Online VPS with Claude Code installed next to the sites/apps that I work on and I just SSH in with @TermiusHQ and it keeps going forever even if I disconnect (I use Mosh or Tmux or I just /resume) My MacBook Pro battery life is also much better as everything happens on the server not my laptop I work so incredibly fast now, it's like having a secret benefit over everyone else who are still AI coding on a laptop, then deploying to their server, while their battery life dies and they can never close their laptop And whenever I want I can just switch to Termius on my iPhone and continue working! My workflow is literally: I have a bug or feature, I open Termius, I type it in the project tab, it fixes it, every fix it auto commits to GitHub but it doesn't actually deploy from there anymore because it's editing the site on the server live I don't recommend that to everyone, but I do recommend getting a VPS you can code from and then use as staging and test and deploy from there to your production server

✉️ Trying @Cloudflare's new Email Sending feature today If you send 1,000,000 emails per month: - Postmark: $1,206/mo - Resend: $650/mo - SendGrid: $600/mo - Cloudflare: $354/mo - Amazon SES: $100/mo So Postmark is now by far the most expensive email provider And SES and Cloudflare are now the cheapest email providers I know my friend @marckohlbrugge is trying out SES now so I'll try Cloudflare and see how it is, SES is cheaper but Marc said it takes a bit more managing, and since I already use so much Cloudflare stuff it's nice to use them for email too With AI especially all of these are just as easy to use and setup in your app/site so economically it makes sense to go for the cheapest, because email is just email, it's all the same and deliverability is good with all of these I think TL;DR email sending has become a commodity!
