It's a very good model for this size and price. I tried it with a couple of small tasks - just an year ago this would be the level of the leading models.

Are the existing customers grandfathered to the old prices (at least for now)? I don't see the increase in my account.

I agree, I am doing this almost all my life (crying emoji) :)

I agree with a lot that you say and notice similar trends in our work. I am a little skeptical about this one though:

"You don't really need to work for a company anymore, because a solo dev can absolutely build crazy things, so it's not like you need to rely on anyone else."

One of the reasons for devs to work in company is not that they can't deliver the work themselves. It's that they don't have the connections to land customers. Most devs need a company at least to handle the marketing so they can focus on what they are good at.

Nope, I just found about it recently. It seems familiar for a WP user but decoupled from the front-end. We decided to try it - time will tell if it's a good decision or not.

They seem to be interested mostly in adding more and more visual editing features that keep making the whole thing more unstable and messy. There's no hope. We already have clients who were with WP for many years switching to Directus and a custom front-end. The only reason others are still in it is the huge ecosystem and the custom integrations they have built around WP.

I don't think this will happen. If most content goes behind a paywall, releasing content for free will again become a valuable source of attention. It used to be so before the web got filled with so much free content that it lost any value.

I love when between the AI updates and Rust vs C++ wars, HN suddenly promotes a post about rice farming in Japan <3

Excuse me, but if the difference between 10 EUR per month and 14 eur per month is going to kill your startup, you probably shouldn't try to start it. Might be time to think about using and creating less memory-hungry software.

I learned this year at 45 - before that I only had a moped license and used a moped. I am not a "car person" and did not expect I'd like driving. I turned out wrong! I enjoy it and especially enjoy the benefits and freedom a car gives you. You'll most likely not regret it too.

It's too windy for trees there, similarly to large parts of Iceland. People could probably plant trees that are not high - I don't know what species will feel good in this climate though.

I'm surprised no one mentioned mPDF. Maybe php isn't very popular here :)

I tried it a couple of times in comparison to Claude. Kimi wrote much simpler and more readable code than Claude's over-engineered solutions. It missed a few minor subtle edge cases that Claude took care of though.

No, because it's usually a few years old and already obsolete - the frameworks and the language have gone through a gazillion changes and what you did in 2021 suddenly no longer works at all.
