AI News
Every build-it-yourself piece in this archive priced the box at twelve to twenty dollars a month. Memory is up as much as 500 percent in twelve months because AI data centers bought the supply, hosting providers have raised prices three times this year, and the build math still wins. Just not on every project it used to.
The daily build
Every CRM import begins with a dirty spreadsheet. We built a zero-setup, in-browser sanitizer that splits names, strips tracking parameters from domains, cleans phone numbers, and catches duplicates before they corrupt your database.
Foundational AI: Do's and Don'ts
The six-step flow that has handled every inbound lead for two years costs about two thousand tasks a month and never surprises you. Every vendor now wants you to rebuild it as an agent. The test for whether you should is one sentence long, and the vendors published it themselves.
Git Articles
Ten people taking customer calls costs $1,680 a year at Granola's Business tier and $3,600 at Otter's, and every minute of audio lands on somebody else's server. Anarlog records and transcribes on the laptop that is already in the room, MIT licensed, with no bot in the participant list.
AI News
Google Workspace Studio could draft the email. On Monday it got permission to send it, running under an identity an admin can audit and revoke. The catch is buried in three italic notes: none of that governance applies to a single flow you have already built.
Git Articles
Twenty-five people who need to open one internal tool costs $6,000 a year on Power Apps Premium. ToolJet builds the same screen on a server you rent, and the free self-hosted build stops at exactly two apps and two builders, which is in the licensing docs and not in the README.
AI News
One key, one card, four hundred models behind it. That account is why a non-engineer can build against every AI model without opening six vendor relationships, and on Sunday the company running it agreed to sell to Stripe for more than seven billion dollars. Stripe did not pay that for routing.
Vibecoding News and Updates
Auto mode is now the default across coding agents, allowing operators to hand off workflows and walk away. But the most dangerous failure in AI-built systems is not the loud crash or the blocked permission; it is the silent call that returns HTTP 200 with empty data, wrapped in a defensive catch block that keeps every dashboard green.
Git Articles
Ten people on Superhuman and Linear alone costs $5,880 a year, and all it buys is an inbox and a task board. Macro does email, chat, docs, tasks, calls and CRM out of one app for $40 a seat, and it moved to the AGPL in May, which means the escape hatch is written into the license.
AI News
A twelve-person team pays about $2,880 a year for a tool whose actual job is putting a usable view on data that already lives in a spreadsheet. Google now builds that view from one sentence and writes changes back to the sheet, and it fixes none of the reasons the spreadsheet was a bad system of record.
Foundational AI: Do's and Don'ts
Three renewals this quarter, three new AI lines, priced anywhere from twenty nine dollars flat to a hundred and twenty five per seat. Which ones to pay for has almost nothing to do with how good the AI is.
Git Articles
A ten-person sales team on Salesforce list pricing pays about $21,000 a year, and the thing they are actually renting is not the software. It is the shape of their own business. Twenty puts that shape in a repository you own, and it shipped four releases in two days.
