Went through the card statement properly for the first time. Under a product doing about $900 MRR: hosting and database $84, error tracking $29, transactional email $20, analytics $14, support widget $39, a CRM I have…
Cut back about half the roots on a peace lily two weeks ago, all the brown mushy ones, repotted into fresh airy mix, no fertiliser. It has not wilted further and it has not died, but it also has not done anything at…
A container got OOMKilled with a 512Mi limit, exit code 137. had been showing it steady around 300Mi for the previous ten minutes, and our dashboard agrees. Nothing in the app logs suggests a spike. I am new to running…
Freehand on a 1000/6000 combination stone, maybe 15 degrees a side on a German chef knife. Straight off the stones it shaves and slices paper cleanly. Two days and about four dinners later it skates on tomato skin and…
Adult, somewhere between beginner and intermediate, looking for a lesson every two weeks. The £25 teacher advertises grades one to five for children; the £70 one has a conservatoire background and mostly teaches…
Suburban lot, the hive stand is about twelve metres from the nearest fence line, and I have one colony that came through the winter well. I am tempted to split it into three next spring. The neighbours on one side have…
Sub hundred device with particulate, temperature, humidity, an eCO2 number and a TVOC bar. The TVOC goes red about twenty minutes after cooking or cleaning, and the eCO2 tracks it almost exactly, which makes me suspect…
Empty LWB van arriving in three weeks, both of us work full time, so this is weekends and the odd evening. Every build video jumps from bare metal to a finished interior with a soundtrack, and I cannot work out what…
Ordered on a Tuesday, delivered the following Monday, and the box had been somewhere cold over the weekend by the look of it. Soil is soaking wet, four of the nine leaves are yellow and limp, and the rest look alright.…
Eighteen months in: two full time remote roles and nine credits a semester. I'm sleeping about five hours, my grades have gone from A to B minus, and the second job is the one paying tuition so dropping it defeats the…
Four hundred days, thirty minutes most evenings, and standing at an actual counter last month I produced nothing. The words were in there, I just could not get them out in the two seconds available. I have about £25 a…
40 paying customers on a flat $29/mo, invoicing tool with document generation. Everyone tells me usage based is where the money is, and the cost side does vary a lot one customer generated 4,100 documents last month and…
Started running in January, up to 20 km a week, and the outside of my right knee started aching around week six. I run in old cross trainers that had already done maybe 600 km of gym work before I ever ran in them. Half…
Every update goes to four places: X, LinkedIn, a Discord I am part of, and a monthly email. Rewriting for each takes me between 90 minutes and two hours, and that is the same slot I would otherwise use to build. A…
22 active subscriptions at $19, all from the first year. New price will be $39 and I am confident about it for new customers. What I cannot decide is the existing cohort. Grandfather them permanently, grandfather with…
Every recipe assumes a 21C kitchen and mine is a 15C basement, which is the only place I have room for jars. I am running pint jars at two percent salt, one of shredded cabbage and one of carrot sticks with garlic. I…
Internal service, about 30 endpoints, Postgres behind it, moderate traffic where p99 matters a little but nowhere near microsecond territory. Both of us are Python people, one of us has written a couple of small Go…
Downtown, garage parking, maybe 8,000 km a year and almost all of it inside the city where the roads get cleared quickly. Two or three times a winter I drive north to visit family and that trip is a different world.…
Burned once already: an app moved features I relied on behind a paid tier, my free account went effectively read only, and the export was technically available and practically useless. I've got about 4,000 notes going…
Working through for a homework set. The first round of parts leaves me with , and the second round hands me back the exact integral I started with. I have done it four times and I keep going in a circle. Is my choice of…
Inherited a service with no tests. Asked for coverage, got 40 Vitest files, 380 tests, all green, 84% coverage. Felt great for about a day. Then I deliberately broke a validation rule: changed a to a in the middle of…
$4.1k MRR, profitable, five years old. Signed an LOI at 3.1x annual profit, roughly $150k. Two weeks into diligence the buyer connected to Stripe and worked out that a single account is $2,550 of it 62%. Month to month,…
Flat $12 per seat. One account has 8 seats, which is $96/month, and last month they ran 41,000 tasks. My variable cost is about $0.01 a task, so that account cost me $410 and paid me $96. Meanwhile the median account…
Six node pool, all the same instance type at 4 vCPU. Deployment has ten replicas, nine are Running and one has been Pending since last night. Events say 0/6 nodes are available with a string of reasons I have read…
Six forms, the biggest has nine fields. I keep starting react hook form + a resolver, then remembering the action has to validate anyway, then wondering why I'm writing it twice. Two weeks until I need this in front of…
