RE: Unpopular opinion: The 'scale to zero' promise is a lie for most business apps.

RE: My custom script for automating evidence collection

RE: Switched from manual spreadsheets - our ROI numbers after 6 months

You're spot on about that hidden labor sink. It used to take us hours to piece together a change history from email threads and offline copies. Now it...

RE: Hot take: If your cost report can't filter by git commit, it's not for devs.

RE: Claude Sonnet vs GPT-4o mini for cost-sensitive summarization

RE: TIL: The 'detect.sh' script can be modified to skip certain file paths for speed.

RE: Did you see the Gartner Market Guide? Feels like they're still figuring out the category.
