🚀 Just shipped an open-source template for AI services.

✅ Includes full auth and per-request payments.
✨ Automatically charges cost + margin.
🤖 Demo uses OpenAI API to mimic ChatGPT 👇🏻

I agree.

Unless you're making throw-away prototypes, AI coding productivity boost is limited by your ability to properly review code.

Otherwise, you're shooting yourself in the foot in the long-term.

@wesbos You can check for nested deps of your own repos with:

npm explain plain-crypto-js
pnpm why plain-crypto-js
yarn why plain-crypto-js
bun why plain-crypto-js

Or you can do a raw search across your repos:

grep -rI "plain-crypto-js" <parent dir>

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

@karpathy You can use the following command to quickly check if you're affected:

grep -rI "plain-crypto-js" <dir>

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

@YifanBTH Use this command if you don't have rg installed:

grep -rI "plain-crypto-js" <dir>

These days, I mostly use a thin wrapper around the native fetch() rather than axios.

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

@YifanBTH I normally discuss the high-level first, then ask it to make a plan, which makes it consider the details.

@abxxai Another storage win: remove attachments but keep the emails. I built @UnattachHQ for that (also downsizes images/PDFs).

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

It's kind of funny that Gemini 3 can one-shot a simple app, while Siri sometimes has trouble understanding "set timer to 10 minutes".

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

@YifanBTH I think there's an optimal amount of "change complexity" that an AI should make before a human reviews it. That way, the human can provide just enough guidance to take a good long-term path.

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

It feels like we are all team managers now.

Team members are different AI models.

Each has its own pros, normally speed vs quality.

And you can easily "hire" more.

[Yifan @YifanBTH]

I’m probably at peak AI FOMO right now. Subscription history over the past 4 months:

chatgpt plus + claude max
|
chatgpt pro ⬆️ + claude pro ⬇️
|
chatgpt pro + gemini pro ⬆️ + claude pro
|
chatgpt plus ⬇️ + gemini pro + claude max ⬆️

Someone please invent a way to make my FOMO life easier.

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

It's now possible to downsize PDF attachments in Gmail to free storage! 🥳

The feature has gone live in @UnattachHQ today 🚀

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

Lesson learnt.

Don't use Claude Code for research. It will eat up all the tokens, which are much better used for coding.

Use ChatGPT 5.1 "Research" mode instead.

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

What stops you from building like this?

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

@1Umairshaikh Actually, if people looked at the startup math properly, we would have MANY more founders.

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

@marcelkargul AI coding assistants are great, they just need to be used correctly and not for everything.

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

@pmitu In my experience, startups are ultra-maratons, not sprints: consistent and maintainable pace beats unstructured sprints every time.

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

We already have battle-tested components and frameworks we can stack together.

I think that the bigger change that's coming is actually the opposite: there will be more and more AI generated glue, which is _not_ as battle-tested, so the key is creating a development framework to keep long-tern development velocity high and product reliability good despite the massive increase in AI-generated code.

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

@kaif9998 Depends how good their coffee is.

[Rok Strniša @RokStrnisa]

@Jacobsklug In the startup world, you can still lose in a million other ways. If an app solves your problem, it's like saying "works for me".
