Real numbers from 30+ projects: Alita Robot (300K users on Docker/Oracle free VPS) vs Clickfolio (Cloudflare Workers + D1 + R2 at $0). Cost comparison, database trade-offs, DDoS horror stories, and a decision framework for when to pick which architecture.
July rewrote the leaderboard. Fable 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, Grok 4.5, Muse Spark 1.1, Kimi K2.7-Code, Cognition SWE-1.7, GLM 5.2, and MiniMax M3. What holds up for coding, agents, and cost.
180K+ GitHub stars, security researchers panicking, $10–25/day in API costs. I spent two weeks with OpenClaw looking for a killer use case. The product isn't ready — the idea might be anyway.
Upload a PDF resume, get a live web portfolio. I built clickfolio.me entirely on Cloudflare's edge stack, D1 for data, R2 for files, Queues for async processing, Durable Objects for real-time WebSockets, and Gemini for AI parsing. Here's every technical decision, including the ones I regret.
I built an open-source Telegram bot that grew to 300k+ real users, 200+ GitHub stars, and 300+ forks. Here's the brutally honest story of how—including the tactics I'm not proud of.
Every logging tool felt like overkill—ELK's operational complexity, Datadog's pricing, Loki's LogQL learning curve. So I built Logwell: one Docker Compose, PostgreSQL-native, real-time streaming. Here's what I learned.
Everyone's talking about vibe coding like it's the future. After building a prototype in hours and then drowning in an unmaintainable mess, here's what the hype gets wrong.
I've spent $50+/month on AI coding tools for a year. Here's what actually works, what's overhyped, and when to use each tool (including free local LLMs).
I shipped 30+ side projects while finishing my MS in Computer Science at ASU. Here's the stack that let me build fast, deploy faster, and still sleep.
