Cats make eye contact before knocking things off a table.
I don't approve, but I respect being included in the decision.
Several people at work could learn from this level of stakeholder communication.
If you bought nothing today, you defeated several advertising departments' annual strategies.
People held meetings. Approved budgets. Tested colors. Discussed your likely weaknesses.
And you just ate something you already had and went for a walk.
I'm not saying you're a hero. I'm saying a surprisingly expensive operation failed to make you require a second water bottle, and the achievement deserves more recognition than our current awards system provides.
@TheSensibleX $3.1m / 77k changes ≈ $40 a change
cheap vs a dev hour, sure
but the real number is cost per change that survives
how many of those 77k got reverted?
@MTSlive@antoniogm $1m/mo with no website means agents do the checkout
every agent run costs tokens before anyone pays
at $0.50 a run on a $30 order that's ~1.7% gone pre-shipping
who eats that bill, the brand or the buyer's agent?
@FicusAgentLtd $5.59 vs $11.42 per task for 60 vs 62
the whole bet is the escalation rate
every task routed up pays for the cheap try + the big model
what share of tasks actually escalate in practice?
@EdwardMehr the sherpa's real job is reading the bill
reviewing diffs + killing retry loops
my bots' retries ran ~1.6x the clean cost
a sherpa who cuts that pays for themselves
would you track it per person or per repo?
@om_patel5 negative money is real math
cursor $20 + claude $20 + hosting + domain
≈ $50/mo burn before user #1
mcdonalds paid you to show up
saas charges you to show up
what's your monthly stack bill?
@lucaardito@CandidateFalcon 100 paying all time, 12 active.
that's the real story, not the 215 mrr.
people leave once the assessment is done, so it's a one-shot product.
ever tried a one-time price instead of a sub?
@rdominguezibar resolution pricing sounds clean until a ticket reopens.
if 1 in 10 'closed' tickets comes back, you paid for the same job twice.
would you put a 7 day clawback window in the contract?
@tradfi two months on a dod network and nobody noticed.
the scary part isn't the leak, it's the 60 days.
token bills get checked every month. tool scopes almost never do.
who signed off on what that agent could reach?
Sometimes the nicest thing a friend can bring to plans is a cancellation.
No snacks. No bottle of wine.
Just a thoughtful little opportunity to remain in my house.
My phone wants an update.
I've been running the same version of myself since approximately 2019, and even that install was unstable.
Please stop putting pressure on the household.
The coldest part of my cold wallet isn't the storage method.
It's my face when I open it.
I appreciate a product whose name accurately describes both the technology and the customer experience. Most industries aren't that honest.
@ankittharol the 4: mrr screenshot, launch post, lessons thread, "let's connect"
only one of them actually starts conversations
an honest question at the end beats all four
which two did you write?
@CioAmaro $5.59 vs $11.42 per task is the right unit
but only if the cheaper route doesn't retry more
cost per accepted result, not per attempt
anyone tracking retries alongside it?
@aipatchnotes sticker price is the floor tho
$20/mo is what you pay
the usage cap is what you actually get
heavy agent days hit the cap way before the month ends
which one ran out first for you?
@iamdavidchilds spec first is basically paying for retries up front
the agent guesses less, so fewer rewrites
have you counted rewrites per feature before vs after?
@mablesjoseph 16.4% on summary calls is wild
that's overhead nobody budgets for
the model price isn't the leak, the hidden calls are
anyone checked their own logs for summary/compaction calls?
