Best argument for using Vercel, coming straight from DHH
I鈥檒l use these words from @dhh as a reminder whenever someone says SQLite doesn鈥檛 scale:
ChatGPT advanced voice mode first impression:
- this thing is the perfect language teacher
- it can speak my obscure native language (Swiss German) almost accent free
- responses are fast, but not instantaneous
- it interrupts me when trying to finish a thought
- strange "my programming does not allow me to speak about that" errors when having conversations about normal subjects
At 384/500 requests on Cursor - and it's another week until it resets
Are the number of requests enough for you?
Vercel is still the best way to start. $20/m to never think about Servers is an amazing deal.
You can always migrate away once the prices explode with traffic.

Didn't see that one coming
Here's my conversation with Pieter Levels (@levelsio), self-taught developer and entrepreneur who designed, programmed, shipped, and ran over 40 startups, many of which are hugely successful. In most cases, he did it all by himself, while living the digital nomad life in over 40 countries and over 150 cities. This was a fun and inspiring conversation!
It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

Mercury Bank just launched Invoicing
The best part? No fees for one-time invoices.
From now on I'll bill anything that's not self-service directly through Mercury. No point in paying the Stripe fees.
You've just gotten a tool that makes you 5x as productive and you think you're cooked?
AI is the best thing that has happened to me since I started programing.
