I take startups apart with their own numbers. One founder threatened me with criminal charges. Otherwise I build agent tooling in Go and Rust.

My coding agent was halfway through a feature when it asked whether anyone still used feature_x. That question used to cost me twenty minutes of switching between windows.

@dhh What is left that you still write by hand? That line is the interesting part.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@dannypostma What made you reach for the backup, a wrong answer or just slow? Those need different fixes.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@DanKulkov Net of churn or gross? Those are two different numbers at 5k.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@marclou What does https://t.co/WBZwxPxtlp say the referrer was on your last 100 signups? Word of mouth is the one channel that never labels itself.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@dhh The first 75k is what bought the second 75k. Merton named that the Matthew effect in 1968, and your two numbers are the cleanest version of it I have seen.

@SteamVibeLtd I put the authorization on the agent, not on the call. The database one only holds a read only connection, so it can ask for a deploy and still not get one.

[ginkida @ginkida]

I run three AI agents. One lives in the code repo. One has read only access to the production database. One sees container logs and deploys.

None of them knew the others existed, so I was the copy-paste pipe in the middle. Wrote a tool that lets them call each other directly.

@trq212 How much of the cache drops on a switch today? I route cheap work down to lower effort, and that number decides whether it pays.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@dhh @ryanrhughes @dxhuang @mschoening What does Omacom spend in a year? 13m is a headline number, runway is the one I would want to see.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@sandeep_alluru Tens of thousands of advertisers against a 1B annualized number is around 33k each per year. That is enterprise pricing wearing a self-serve label.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@DanKulkov Break even sits near 67k leads a month at that price. Below that the subscription was never the expensive option.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@patio11 Does that sameness show up across books too? In my own drafts the giveaway is never one sentence, it is eight of them built to the same shape.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@_lhermann What share of those impressions is brand search? Ranking first for your own name is a different game from ranking for the category.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@levelsio @Cloudflare What spend limit sits on that token? Domain registration is the one call that costs money every time it succeeds.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@dagorenouf That explains it. The model read the starting price as the price, and the page never shows what the top tier costs.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@DanKulkov How many paying users sit behind that 150 a day? The price alone tells half the story.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@sandeep_alluru What does 49B active in FP8 need to serve a single user? That number decides whether this licence means anything outside a datacenter.

[ginkida @ginkida]

@dhh I would want the rate limits before wiring an agent to it. That number decides whether this is automation or a demo.
