Both my cofounder and I have 2-5 long Claude code chats going at all times, 5 days a week, big codebase (15k lines) in context.

We have yet to exceed even 40% of our budget on the $100/mo plan

How are people spending so much on tokens?

[Derek Fulton @derekdfulton]

@homerepaired Income tax on the bonds?

@LaurenGoode Saving energy on NICs in 2026 is like picking up pennies in front of a steamroller

Sick networking though

[Derek Fulton @derekdfulton]

@hubermanlab @trainer2thepros Form check?

[Derek Fulton @derekdfulton]

@DanielLockyer Inevitable with RAM prices. I wonder when the hyperscalers will follow suit?

[Derek Fulton @derekdfulton]

@Will_McKelvey E-bike would be the arb here if you’re too lazy to pedal. E-bike parking garage near LGA could make money.

@jamespotter 70% of annual happiness compressed into 3mo. The trick is to only spend the summers here 👊

[Derek Fulton @derekdfulton]

@ivanburazin @daytonaio We did the same thing and just explicitly tell our customers we do not offer backups. We are long lived data science environments though so not as much (but still non zero) need for live migration.

@GeorgeJeffersn The UK village would be an unbelievable place for this, especially with young families. Thank you for promoting this!

[Derek Fulton @derekdfulton]

Agreed. A lot of our edge right now I think stems from the fact that we set up all of our own network topology and have full control over all hardware (in addition to our custom orchestrator). And much of Claude’s training data is just people asking about software. We’ll see how long that moat lasts.

100% Free S3-compatible migration tool for Carolina Cloud

Should we pay people's egress fees as well?

Honored to be targeted by Palantir
Curious about why…

[Palantir @PalantirTech]

Palantir embraces the neurodivergent.

Join us.

@Erwin_AI Wow

@JeremiahDJohns What is market rate? Where I live, in a single family price per gallon goes 10x after a certain threshold. But multi family is locked in. Are those market rate?

PSA American Airlines only allows car seats on the window seat. Was not the case last summer. Nasty surprise that we narrowly corrected.

[Derek Fulton @derekdfulton]

@vrexec Plenty of Dutch have an entrepreneurial mindset. If you can cultivate that kind of network, might get the best of both worlds?

[Derek Fulton @derekdfulton]

@QuinnyPig Maybe that’s why you can’t get the high RAM ones anymore?

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

These things are over $9100 a month, making it incredibly hard for me to counter accusations that the cloud is overpriced. Yes, there's value in EBS/IAM/the rest of the ecosystem, but not that much value, frens...

[Derek Fulton @derekdfulton]

@isnit0 $3k/mo after amortized capex and depreciation?
