@theo Perplexity sent me a Mac mini. Thought it was a scam, but got it last week. I’ve probably spent a bit too much on tokens lately.

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

@bygregorr @Jacobsklug @openclaw I fixed that last week. Tell the CEO to fix it by making sure the other agents are mentions AND the issue is assigned. Took a couple rounds to make sure it was good, but ran perfectly after that.

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

@LLMJunky That’s the plan for now. Back to codex:)

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

@LLMJunky True, but I’d rather have a refund based on whatever error in their code was driven ridiculous credit usage. Just switch 30 people over to Claude last month. Not a great start

So the mom clearly didn’t ask him about homework or look at a single report card in 4 years. Sure the school sucks, but take some damn personal responsibility. Make sure your kid is actually at school, talk to them about homework and look at test scores and report cards. Pretty simple

@lydiahallie More than blocking, I’ve been charged $100 because it flipped to per token usage

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

I built one decent app for about $300 in tokens. Got the app to around 85% finished. I am doing another one that is extremely complicated for contract processing, transparency reporting in a regulated industry, etc. I am about $1000 deep in it and maybe half way. I had a pretty simple app that i did this weekend and used codex for the whole thing. Not sure on the right answer yet. Changes every week...worth playing with it, but you will not get super far with the $200

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

Perplexity is great, but the cost is real if you have it doing dev work. It seems to do a much better job than Claude alone for new app development, but you might might spend hundreds extra each month. My teams been playing with perplexity a lot this month and we hit $4k in extra tokens on top of enterprise max

@DanielMiessler I’d really like to know what they are using for the AI tools. We are starting a classical school at church in partnership with homeschoolers and would love to introduce this

@BrianLenzkes @thecoastguy If not a vaccine than it isn’t covered from liability protection

@iaminam @codyschneider Completely agree. I think it is just a matter of time. Certainly a high risk to any SaaS business right now

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

@kevin7flaherty @codyschneider Let the contracting companies know we were putting in 30 day notice. They are all decent sized so very professional. Employees are excited and bit nervous about moving away from traditional development. We showed them working POCs and it helped to show them what’s possible.

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

@codyschneider Btw. All of these developers we are letting go are contractors. We are retaining 100% of employees and training more people to develop apps for our clients. Everyone is super excited about learning new skills and solving customer problems we couldn’t do before

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

@codyschneider I’m letting go 13 developers tomorrow for the same reason. We replicated last week what the team built in over a year. Plus we made different platform decisions that will reduce hosting costs by $200k annually. Done with 1 guy experienced guy and Claude code.

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

Yup. These are all contractors by the way. We are now spending our time educating more of our employees on helping build new things we couldn’t before this. Everyone that works for us as employees are super engaged. Our revenue was declining as we could keep up with customer requests which put all of our jobs at risk. This is going to change our company and allow us to grow our people and make their jobs more enriching and secure.

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

@code_star All contractors…action will allow us to retain all of our employees as business a has been down

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

@Dataracer117 @codyschneider Not employees. All contractors. Business is down and this is allowing me to keep 100% of my employees and also train more of them on building apps and growing their skill sets. Thanks for your concern tho

[Man From MN @Man_from_MN]

Will save $2.4M annually. It unbelievable. The ideas are flowing on new ideas again vs feeling constrained by the development cycle and costs. As a non technical founder I built a new app last week that would have taken us a year. Having my CTO harden it, but will be ready within a couple weeks.
