You were a doubter… as in you thought it was normal to sit inside your house the entire day (or for over 12 hours) without going outside at all? Or what?

YC seems a bit different from I remember it back in 2007 when I first joined. They're pushing things like "GStack" now.

Seems like they just want to play PewDiePie after making tons of money from their salaried job and have a bunch of spare time now.

New comment by rob in "Blog ran on Ubuntu 16.04 for 10 years. I migrated it to FreeBSD"

rob — Thu, 21 May 2026 20:55:50 +0000

I've switched to Debian (and since Ubuntu) for my server needs but I remember being obsessed in the mid 2000s with FreeBSD when I was younger. I would spend more time configuring and setting them up than doing anything actually useful on them.

It used to be hard to find dedicated servers or VPSs with any of the BSDs, I think I settled on Panix.com or something?

Before that I remember some company called 15MinuteServers (NAC?) out of NJ I think that offered them. Just kind of rambling down memory lane at this point though.

No it's not. Where do you come up with this? Just because you searched the phrase on Google and there's a single result for it on a wiki? Who do you know that's using this expression regularly?

New comment by rob in "Should I Run Plain Docker Compose in Production in 2026?"

rob — Tue, 05 May 2026 12:37:03 +0000

I do this via Dokploy on a hosted Linode VPS and absolutely love it. Super easy to set up and maintain for tons of little side projects that don't require tons of resources.

Seems like an ad for whatever "Distr" is though; I haven't run into any of these issues with Dokploy and everything's been running fine for months.

New comment by rob in "HERMES.md in commit messages causes requests to route to extra usage billing"

rob — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 20:01:42 +0000

Is there a wager for the upcoming "Hey, Boris from the Claude team here." response/comment that will be coming here soon? Usually followed by a "That was a bug! Fixed in version 525,005,0295.2020.00."

New comment by rob in "HERMES.md: Anthropic bug causes $200 extra charge, refuses refund"

rob — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 19:22:26 +0000

The second reply post was his copy and paste response from Anthropic's support staff along with a funny meme mocking it. He just didn't put it in a blockquote or quotation marks.

It was obvious to me, but I can see how somebody could get confused from that.

According to `bunx ccusage` I'm easily doing $250-400/day in "real" API costs on my $200/month plan. There's no way everybody else isn't going to do the same thing and completely change the industry again. Both beginner and advanced developers are already hooked on all this stuff and they all know it.

New comment by rob in "I Cancelled Claude: Token Issues, Declining Quality, and Poor Support"

rob — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 19:05:48 +0000

I use the "Superpowers" plugin that creates an initial spec via brainstorming together, and then takes that spec and creates an implementation spec file based on your initial spec. It also has other agents make sure the spec doesn't drift between those two stages and does its own self-reviews. Almost every time, it finds and fixes a bunch of self-review issues before writing the final plan. Then I take that final plan and run it through the actual execution phase that does its own reviews after everything.

Just saying that I know a lot of people like to raw dog it and say plugins and skills and other things aren't necessary, but in my case I've had good success with this.

Examples of gaslighting on April 15th (the first 2 issues were "fixed" by April 10th according to the story):

No mention of anything like "hey, we just fixed two big issues, one that lasted over a month." Just casual replies to everybody like nothing is wrong and "oh there's an issue? just let us know we had no idea!"
