End result: my plants survived vacation, built a full system hardware-to-cloud from scratch, and finally got to physically implement something in the real world instead of just software!

I had a problem (and a college assignment): a vacation was coming up, and nobody was available to water my plants. So instead of asking a friend, I spent too much time building a cloud system to water them from anywhere with the click of a button 🌱 1/4

The stack:

HTML/CSS/JS frontend
Python + Flask backend
MQTT (EMQX) for publish/subscribe messaging
MongoDB for watering history
Render(.)comfor server hosting
Raspberry Pi 3 + servo on GPIO pin 18

A photobooth I coded & built for a wedding last year. Just a simple HTML page that queued email sends (no wifi) and saved everything to local storage, tying each set of photos to its group email.

@lydiahallie maybe im missing something but is there a way to just edit the element (like change text) directly, without using tokens?

there's a version of me that would have waited for the right moment, the right plan, the right feeling of readiness. that moment will never come. you'll never feel ready, and you'll wish your life away if you wait.

@cryptopunk7213 isn't this just a worse vps via telegram?

it's cool, but without cellular, its "handheld" capabilities are easily replaced by a smartphone which would always have a connection anyway.

eliminate employees then eliminate hr and cafeteria and security and then just go fully remote where the ceo manages an openclaw agent deploying millions of subagents from a raspberry pi in bali

This is the smartest counter I’ve seen to ai taking over jobs, in the short term.

Is the ((aggregate tokens cost to do what an employee does + plus fully encumbered developer and maintenance costs ) / (fully encumbered employee cost ) )<= productivity ?

If it takes 8 Claude agents, at $300 for tokens, per day, plus $200 per day in dev/maint , to do what an employee does per day, at a fully encumbered cost of $1200.

That’s 2600/1200. But then you need to factor in the productivity rate.

Is it more than 2.16 x productive ? Are there qualitative issues like morale, morality, whatever , that can’t be quantified, that need to go into the decision?

What is the going forward progression of burdened costs for the tokens ?

Curious what people think about this ?

@IncomeSharks @vladtenev Agreed. Got signed up for a simple ira at work (primerica, should have known), worst experience ever with undisclosed fees and just a bad ui. Robinhood is just super intuitive and transparent
