+1. They doubled my fee, treated silence as consent for a yearly renewal, then tried to charge a cancellation fee based on that inflated price.

I find it fuunny how "code readability" was the killer feature when humans had to maintain the code, and is suddenly negotiable now that they don't.
Pre-AI bias is slowly dying.

I would judge commits by what it does not by who wrote it.

stk (https://github.com/level09/stk): async Quart + Vue 3 starter i use for everything. auth stack is already wired up (session, 2FA, webauthn, oauth), async sqlalchemy, alembic, no frontend build step. basically the boring part so i can get to the actual product faster.
ziglag (https://github.com/level09/ziglag): self-hosted invoicing for freelancers, built on top of stk. clients, invoices, VAT, PDF, shareable links, MIT. got tired of paying a monthly fee to send a pdf.
idea is to keep chipping away. every subscription that annoys me is fair game. small tools, self-hosted, no accounts, no seats, no upsell. if it's useful for me someone else probably wants it too, so might as well open source it. open to ideas on what to kill next.

Same here. Premium account, years old, barely post, banned with no explanation.
What’s worse: no way to notify followers or export data after a ban.
Lesson here: Never outsource your identity or communication to a platform you don’t control, treat them as disposable channels, that might disappear any day.

I see it differently.
for me AI has been less about building more/fast, and more about unlocking potential that was always out of reach.
Knowledge gaps that would've taken years to fill, new angles I wouldn't have thought to explore on my own. It's not that it makes more software.
it just makes you more capable of tackling things you couldn't before.

agreed, I noticed the max plan doesn't feel max anymore, it can quickly get depleted during hourly sessions, and the week limit seems really limited.

Software startups still work, but only if software is not the point.
Code is now cheap, so the advantage moved into things that cannot be copied by looking, accumulated data, hidden workflows, trust, and judgment earned by staying inside a problem too long.
Big companies copy shapes, not gravity. If your edge is visible, it is temporary. If it only appears over time, you are still early.
