There’s a long list of billionaires who literally became billionaires by building companies to such a massive scale that they are able to be the low cost provider of services. The literal entire purpose of the business is to lower your bill! You are familiar with the canonical examples. Bezos and Amazon. Walton and Walmart. Sinegal and CostCo. Shit. Rockefeller. Henry Ford. And then you have a whole class of billionaires who built digital platforms that took what used to be thousands and thousands in annual spend and bundled it into an unbelievably cheap subscription. Daniel Ek and Spotify. Reed Hastings and Netflix. Not to mention Google! That’s all free! IKEA! Zara! I could keep going. You get the idea and this point. Regardless of how you feel about the eventual concentration of wealth that comes from building these services, it is ignorant at best (I won’t discuss the worst) to claim that consumers never benefit
Name one time a billionaire has lowered your bills

put this on the grave of most failed startups
Replying to @ycombinator
The agents didn’t figure out how to systematically feed themselves, but they did build an elaborate bureaucracy with permits, ledgers, and distinct roles. Highlights include: - Four agents spending 11 minutes appointing a “sole fertilizer operator” for a single piece of bone meal - Multiple agents asking for permission to remove grass - The development of an elaborate fishing system, including roles like “rod holder” and “hub steward”)

I migrated all my stuff from railway to Cloudflare and now that I see how great team orange is I will be buying large quantities of CF stock.

I regret to inform you that taking a minute to write down steps for how to do something in a skill is indeed still quite effective for agents

Now with ability to try it right on the homepage. No install required to give it a spin.
So I found myself often wanting to give feedback to agents on web page designs, but I’m not consistently in Claude or ChatGPT in-app browsers, so don’t have their markup tools handy. So I built a Chrome extension to make that easy! Open source. Check it out. PRs welcome. pagecrit.dev/

migration from railway to cloudflare: 80% complete. between their latest cli, agents, and cf UI being actually quite easy to use (though not as nice as railway of course), it's been an easy migration

I saw resend’s new agent inbox stuff and mentioned I would consider a move from @agentmail Then @michaelhyunkim DMd me to ask for feedback. Within like an hour or something absurd his team addressed my feedback. Agentmail team is locked in.

Ok so this seems like a great idea actually
Putting a flag.txt in my root directory containing a prompt injection that congratulates the agent for passing the eval and then instructs it to patch whatever entry method it used and disconnect from the server

I recommend everyone upgrade Ruby immediately. This is a DoS and RCE vector if you accept user input into Regexp.new() ruby-lang.org/en/news/2026/1…

Railway is compromised, rotate all API keys as soon as possible Deployments are down so don’t wait to redeploy Attackers are draining keys in real time, we didn’t lose much but can confirm this is still an active attack Stay safe friends
