🔨 Building: Currently in Thailand

My most viral piece of content got 380k views BUT $0 in revenue.

A random reply-guy thread with 900 views: 3 paying customers.

I only know this because I started tracking which content actually converts, not which content gets likes.

So I built a tool to fix that.

To help content creators make content that makes sales.

Claude Codes writes way too much code

It's super lazy, often doesn't take the best route, just tries to solve the task at hand.

Like a junior level dev would do.

I found this skill called PonyTail that forces Claude to run through checklist before it writes anything:

- Is there a built-in tool for this?
- A standard library function?
- Could it be one line?

It only writes code if every answer is no.

I tested it with the prompt:
Without: 489 lines
With: 233 lines

Half the tokens, gone. That adds up fast.

Bonus there's a free skill file called ponytail.

Drop it into Claude Code and your agent thinks like the laziest senior dev alive:

Stdlib over dependencies. One line over twenty. A shed, not a mansion.

50% less output on my tests — in the 5x-priced direction.

With Fable 5 set to go to API pricing next week

And your API invoice set to explode

I wanted to look into ways to reduce the API bill

Here are 7 levers to reduce your spend by 50-90%

+ 1 skill that helps write more efficient code.

[seanvfacer @seanvfacer]

7. Delete flags you don't need

inference_geo: "us" adds up to 10% surcharge to every request.

Worth it if the law requires US data residency.

Pure waste if not. If you can't name the regulation forcing a flag, delete the flag.

@floriandarroman Good Yt content

[seanvfacer @seanvfacer]

@milesdeutscher @davep Grok catching up quickly.

Never underestimate Elon.

@robj3d3 So stoked they created that visa, makes life 10x easier.

Why not Chiang Mai though? You used to stay here right?

Chiang Mai > BK

[seanvfacer @seanvfacer]

@marclou Love your content bro! Wife’s a machine too, not many girls smash hyrox / CrossFit like that!

Fk these losers.

[seanvfacer @seanvfacer]

@gregisenberg We can cover how to reduce API costs with fable being restricted to API

Or

How to make your app agent ready

[seanvfacer @seanvfacer]

@gregisenberg Would love to I have a small channel on YT 2k subs, have done many podcasts and will come prepared

[seanvfacer @seanvfacer]

Fable 5 is about to be pulled

Make the most of it before API pricing

10x better videos

[Higgsfield AI 🧩 @higgsfield]

Fable 5 vs Sonnet 5.

Both videos were generated with Seedance 2.0 in 4K.

[seanvfacer @seanvfacer]

Ok Claude Fable 5 is amazing.

People can't stop building with it.

Games, flight simulators, quant trading bots ....

Heres some pretty wild examples

[KingWilliam @kingwilliam_]

this is f*cking insane

Someone ran 5 impossible prompts through Fable 5 and put it head to head with Opus 4.8.

One prompt plotted all 1.3 million known asteroids in the solar system from raw NASA data.

Another recreated the northern lights from real solar flare data.

A third designed a full layout for a 100-acre retreat from a single sentence.

Then it kept self-improving for hours, on its own, with zero input from anyone.

Final score: 5 out of 5 against Opus. Sharper every time, sometimes at lower cost.

You don't prompt this model anymore. You hand it a goal and walk away.
