Trying this philosophy out for a bit: tonsky.me/blog/syntax-hi…

I'm sorry I did this to everyone

Believe it or not, I've written a ruby-next plugin that actually makes this syntax work and it's quite cool. 👀

They say higher prices and fewer customers gives too much leverage, but I reject that idea. If customers are given too much leverage, it's a sign the founder has no vision for the product, so they grovel in hopes they don't die. Not a healthy business, regardless of price.

Am I insane, or a genius?

Somebody should write an LLM that reads source code and not (often outdated) docs.

Have you ever tried to parse Ruby before? I've aged a year since Monday.

Totally agree. I'm not a business person either, but I hate working for other people so much that I run a business to be able to work on what I want, when I want. The main driver for me is creative freedom.

Azure/Microsoft is down, apparently.

So stoked for this.

Some would say it isn't possible.

I've had a $9 plan before. I will never have it again. No serious B2B customers will balk at $30/mo — or even $99/mo — so a $5 tier adds nothing except pain and gnashing of teeth on your end. And you don't want the unserious!

Hard at work, and super excited to share what we've been building! Here's another sneak peek.

I'm 🤏 close to nixing my free tier in favor of a year trial on the $99 entry tier, as the entire point of my free tier was to not block lead capture in early product lifecycle, not to offer the service for free to production apps.

A change of pace from my usual content — my current hyperfocus: a theological upheaval.
