supabase would charge ~$33,000/month to sync 100gb live to 1,000 concurrent users. convex ~$27,000 i'm doing it for $9 on one cloudflare durable object 🧵

Here's the correct opinion on the Tyler Denk <> Marc Lou newsletter software drama: > MailCheap's launch is objectively a FLOP @marclou's posts dunking on @denk_tweets and promoting his vibe-coded product have 2.5M+ views 7 days later, MailCheap has just 27 customers ($653 MRR). That’s about 1 customer for every 70k people who saw it > Yet, even if MailCheap is not successful long-term, it's still a WIN for Marc He's gained a massive amount of attention and is continuing to grow his cult-like following > Marc is a genius marketer, but… Tyler Denk is too This is King Kong versus Godzilla. These are two of the best guys in the world at creating spectacles and controversy (around niche business topics). > Tyler took control of the narrative and shifted it from "beehiiv price increase" to "vibe-coded software Vs beehiiv’s track record" No one's talking about beehiiv's prices anymore. And a ton of people have jumped in to justify the pricing - or talk about how low it is compared to other email competitors. INSTEAD, we're now arguing about the topics where beehiiv has an edge: Deliverability, product, track record And yes… People are crying about Tyler “punching down.” Tyler’s provocative language (basement dwellers) is harsh on purpose. He gets back in the spotlight and can direct it where he wants. The reaction: Pearl-clutching and people accusing Tyler of being a “bad guy” because he counterpunched after being attacked first. > No one will care about Marc fans taking the 'moral high ground' 3 months from now... But they remember beehiiv. > The idea that Tyler and beehiiv should just shut up and put their heads down is stupid anyway If you are attacked, the right move is to attack back. Most people don't realize that power comes from attention and positioning. Not what your revenue is now. Marc's influence is on the same level as Tyler, if not bigger. It would be stupid to not respond and let Marc control the narrative and his positioning in the ESP market without pushback. Every founder needs to tell their own story, or someone else will do it for you. No one is bullying anyone. Beehiiv is a bigger business. But Marc has 350,000+ more followers - and is the #1 or #2 influencer in the indie hacker space Both these guys started building in public around the same time in ~2022 and are around the same age. We can let founders have a fun debate without all the moral-high-ground BS. You can't win as a founder by staying quiet anymore. You need to be loud. Polarizing. You must control the narrative to build a category-defining business. And remember… We're talking about email here. It's not that serious. This is marketing. They both get massive attention. Nobody gets hurt. Everyone wins. P.S. Online debates strip away nuance and dumb things down. That’s why IN-PERSON discussions are so much better. If Tyler and Marc both want to chat at New Media Summit 2027 (@TheNMSummit ) I'm happy to arrange it.

hey folks! seeing reports of fast usage drain. If you are experiencing fast usage draining, can you do /feedback on one of those threads. Also, are you seeing anything weird in settings -> usage -> analytics

"hark": a pi-durable voice agent Sign in with Cloudflare, tap, talk.. No chat box Your agent lives in a @threejs plane. It can generate 3d shapes, scenes, stories, slideshows.. Build your own side panels / interface on top Customizable: pick the brain, the voice, the tools. Plug in any MCP server by URL. CAFE stack: @Cloudflare, @alchemy_run, @foldkit, @EffectTS_ say hello yourself: hark.coey.dev

coil A small showcase you can deploy: - @pidotdev Pi Durable - @EffectTS_ v4 + @foldkit - @Cloudflare Workers, Containers, DOs, Workers AI + AI Gateway - Access, or Sign in with Cloudflare: your threads run on your own account Here is video of me, watching a video about coil, built on coil itself coil.coey.dev & github.com/acoyfellow/coil

🗞️ nobody should type code by hand anymore. here's what's left. ghuntley.com/agency/

I, along with the rest of the Deno company, am joining Cloudflare! I'm motivated by abstractions that give leverage at scale. The Cloudflare workers programming model is a hermetic computing abstraction that truly embodies the old Sun Microsystems tagline "The Network Is the Computer". The programming abstractions that Kenton designed really force scalability. If you squint your eyes you might even conceive of it as a distributed high-level operating system. The only major problem with this distributed operating system is that practically people only use it inside of Cloudflare. Cloudflare is an amazing service for nearly all applications - but there are many situations when you might need it to run elsewhere. I want to solve this problem and make the Workers programming model the default way you write server-side application code. The time is ripe for new abstractions too - what software we run and how we run it are changing quickly with AI. The number of agents is exploding and I don't think they all need a Linux VM. A much more lightweight Durable Object would suffice for many applications. I'm super keen to talk to people who want to self-host agents at scale on DOs - msg me!

Slop-forked T3 Code and ripped out the multi-harness ACP stuff and replaced it with just Pi Durable. Claude models run through a custom Claude bridge hack. The fun has just begun! 🙌

well you can also think of it as token efficiency. for example if your agents can’t verify their work, chances are there will be a lot of bugs and rework that needs to happen later, which also requires more tokens (and unhappy customers) there’s also many ways to improve ttr deterministically, like with a high quality test suite, using libraries like XState (from @DavidKPiano) or @EffectTS_ to make it easier to enforce business logic invariants, etc. your codebase is a form of memory and an input to agents
