I dev epics @ @CDN77com | ❤️ PHP TS Java SOLID | When not working can be found in jujitsu gym 🥋, kitesurfing 🏄, riding aww Duc Monster 🏍️ or piloting 🛩️
People are often fine with wiring framework into their apps even though I advice otherwise
Upgrading #symfony from v4 to 5 in 25 days is not a success
I can do it in 1 hour on my 250K LOC kinda complex app, coffee making time included ☕️
Don't let frameworks out of their layer
🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products.
My Take
The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested.
This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown.

Yo brother, @Chris_Nolann — great movies, or at least they used to be. Haven’t seen such a shit show in a long time. I guess that #Odyssey woke crap won’t even be worth pirating, but watching the internet meltdown over it is the best entertainment I’ve had in a while.
🤡 @claudeai still shipping gimmick products that are just bugged prompt wrappers.
Opus 4.7 is a dumb model that can't get a simple job done;
while limits feel like 0.001 of same priced @OpenAI's sub.
And noob users still praise it and pay for it.
What a time to be alive
Don't just reset Codex rate limits for fun, it costs money.

I have reset Codex rate limits for ALL paid plans to celebrate a good week and allow everyone to build more with GPT-5.5. Enjoy
holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer
- polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded
- the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit
- then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max
- temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges
