arealaccount··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
I dunno I put a lot of traffic through Vercel, maybe 100k visitors per day, and it was under a few hundred a month. I think a couple EC2 instances behind a load balancer would cost similar or more. I was under the impression that its still a VC subsidized service.

They regularly try to get me to join an enterprise plan but no service cutoff threats yet.

arealaccount··on The Wyden Siren Goes Off Again: We'll Be "Stunned" by NSA Under Section 702
Yes all the time and it’s not worth debating them as they are not about to say anything interesting.

arealaccount··on Nobody gets promoted for simplicity
I'm not sure I agree wit this, if I have work that needs to be done, and have a vague idea how long it should take

arealaccount··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
I notice and think about the astroturfing from time to time.

arealaccount··on Margin Call
IMHO as a user I prefer purchasing via app store because it avoids all of the dark patterns companies use to prevent subscriptions or returns.

I get that it sucks that the honest folks have to pay a 30% fees

I'd be happy to pay a 30% premium on my app store purchases just for the ability to unsubscribe without dark patterns.
