Hey don't worry! They limit it to $100 / month by default once you go past their limit of free credits.

Their free credits of ONE THOUSAND TIMES the default upper limit.

So once you have a business running, once you've crossed that limit...

I'm sure it'll cost about $100/month on average by then. Yeah! That seems likely!

Cloudflare continues to push the worst shit combination of centralization of the internet and genAI bullshit but congratulations, they've hit a new combo so bad I didn't even consider it possible blog.cloudflare.com/agents-str

That's right! Your agents can now provision servers, spend money, and do everything for you!

You don't even need to hand them a credit card!

What's that? Why's that?

Because they've teamed up with Stripe! Why yes, if you've signed up with Stripe Atlas (don't "shrug" this Atlas off, friends!), which is Stripe's "launch a startup for you" company-to-make-companies, they'll give you $100k of FREE credits!!!

That first hit! It's free! Hey!

I bet all the future hits will be too, right? And uh, who will be left holding that bill after you've established this nice dependency?

Vibe coding? That's nothing! Time to go all in on Vibe Founding!

It's less that atom/RSS is "dead", and more that its "done".

The protocol is finished. It works well. It's stable and unremarkable as opposed to trendy.

And to capitalists, that's "dead".

Nothing to hype, no wealth to extract.

Hot tip for reducing LLM token usage 

Don't use LLMs

I've said this before, but I may as well say it again: more people should be doing 8- and 16-bit homebrewing, Even in assembly language, these have dozens of the friendliest tutorials ever, and the hardest part is just getting a toolchain together that will turn your source code into binaries that *run* on the consoles or in emulators.

I've been putting together quick build-and-run tutorials to close that gap, for a great many systems. Check it out.
