Marc forgot the 3rd rule of shipping fast 1. Ship fast 2. Break things 3. Fix it when it breaks I just don't get why he won't admit that something went wrong, it's so easy for him to say: β€œI get it, I’m fixing it, the new version is going to be WAY better and more secure”

I was a virgin, an hour ago. I've never blocked anyone after 3 years on Twitter. But my feed in the past 30 days is made of developers who think the world can be fixed with more tests. Dozens of people try to screw my sites every day. And they claim a CRITICAL VULNERABILITY

We are now spending $100 a day on AI API costs for free accounts alone. Macaw is a product where seeing is believing, but 3k a month is tough. Considering changing our free tier from 3 free articles to 1 or 2. Potentially removing it altogether. What do you think we should do?
