This feels like a bad idea, there's a reason why we have CORS.

trick-or-treat··on Five Banana Lessons
Sure but you kill the "tree" when you harvest it.

The only thing from my trees that will fruit year round is coconuts, and that's really more of a flavoring than a food. We give it to the ducks though and they like it.

> A banana feeds you once. A tree feeds you forever.

This guy has never met a banana tree. They also only feed you once.

The elves are always there. The mushroom just lets us see them.
trick-or-treat··on The West forgot how to make things, now it’s forgetting how to code
I don't know why you're trying to start a fight about this to be honest. I never said coders need to use vscode but yes they need to be comfortable with opening files in some editor obviously.

I'm sure you have a problem with that statement too but keep it to yourself because I don't want to hear it.

trick-or-treat··on The West forgot how to make things, now it’s forgetting how to code
I think you haven't dealt with a lot of non-coders. 90% of the world will not be able to even open a .py
trick-or-treat··on The West forgot how to make things, now it’s forgetting how to code
So you see people who don't care about programming, joining and getting comfortable with vscode and claude code and devops?

Because it seems to me like there's a lot of coding-adjacent things they still need to be able to do even if they never look at a line of code.

trick-or-treat··on A Roblox cheat and one AI tool brought down Vercel's platform
Yeah that's a good point. Dotenvx seems to claim a solution but I'm not smart enough to make sense of it.

However I do feel now like my sensitive things are better off deployed on a VPS where someone would need a ssh exploit to come at me.

Hmm, that's confusing. So they're eventually encrypted but plain-text at some point? Doesn't sound good TBH.

trick-or-treat··on A Roblox cheat and one AI tool brought down Vercel's platform
Clearly, Vercel should not have been compromised by this. I don't know who Context.ai is but I do know Vercel and I expected better from them. I also think we can expect to see a lot more stories like this.
trick-or-treat··on A Roblox cheat and one AI tool brought down Vercel's platform
I think it's clear that some customers env vars got exposed, so that can only mean unencrypted, right?
trick-or-treat··on A Roblox cheat and one AI tool brought down Vercel's platform
According to the email I got from Vercel it was a limited subset of customers and I'm not one:

Initially, we identified a limited subset of customers whose Vercel credentials were compromised. We reached out to that subset and recommended that they rotate their credentials immediately.

At this time, we do not have reason to believe that your Vercel credentials or personal data have been compromised.

trick-or-treat··on They Went Abroad to Save Money. Moving Back Seems Unaffordable
20+ year US expat in Asia here, I'm just shocked when I hear stories about $50 fast food prices.

Needless to say I'm happy with my choices, although I do see a future where the value of my skills approach zero because of AI.

I'm confident I can adapt to that future.

trick-or-treat··on The "Passive Income" trap ate a generation of entrepreneurs
> You rarely see anything more than a couple hundred bucks a month

From my perspective, you have to take a lot of shots, I did around 20 side hustle ideas last year and 2 are making over $100/mo. The other 18 I dropped. The only note I will give is that the 2 that succeeded really played to my strengths.

About me: I once had a hustle that did around $6k/month but that was many years ago and I decided I would be happier as a hired gun coder. The rise of AI made me rethink this so I'm clawing my back to providing services.

trick-or-treat··on €54k spike in 13h from unrestricted Firebase browser key accessing Gemini APIs
No you big dummy, that is especially when you want to limit your liability, lol.

Because these days it will be all worthless bot traffic.

trick-or-treat··on €54k spike in 13h from unrestricted Firebase browser key accessing Gemini APIs
This is GCP's revenue model, lol. Let's provide a (semi) generous free tier and trick people into accidentally going over it.
trick-or-treat··on €54k spike in 13h from unrestricted Firebase browser key accessing Gemini APIs
Prepaid only is a fantastic idea, especially for dumb-ass startups. Limiting your liability to $100 or so sound like a big-ass W.
trick-or-treat··on An AI Vibe Coding Horror Story
Right, because the user provided terrible prompts. A dev / agency wouldn't have done much better.
