based on reports I saw from @theo recently, ChatGPT $200 sub gave almost 2x as much token usage as Anthropic $200 sub, $14k vs $8k i believe were his findings for each. so doesn't this just bring them both in line with each other?
Kind of wild how nobody is talking about this. Starting October 30, OpenAI is cutting ChatGPT Pro usage limits in HALF. - Codex + Work: cut 50% - GPT-6 Pro messages: cut 50% - Still the full $200/month.

one of the great things about using @OmarchyLinux is when it alerts you something happened you can click on it to let your AI diagnose it and it just opens and starts diagnosing. @dhh the only thing i really miss is iMessages...

"ai won't take human jobs. humans using ai will. " ~unknown
If you run an accounting practice, you know the industry is shifting fast under your feet. 30% of our workforce is retiring with no replacement in sight. Costs keep climbing, and AI is changing what your clients expect from you. It is easy to feel stuck in the middle of that. But you can also find a way through to level up your business so you aren't just surviving these changes, but actually thriving in them. My good friend Christian Jones over at @TaxProMarketer and I, along with four other industry leaders , want to show you how we are seeing our clients make that shift right now. Join us on Monday, Nov 2 at 2pm ET / 11am PT for a live State of the Tax & Accounting Industry panel. We will share our top operational priorities for 2027 and take your questions live.

if your SaaS doesn't make it this easy for your users to use their ai with it, you're fkn doing it wrong. i haven't used @basecamp by @37signals probably since Google+ days when I was still doing a little bit of WP dev work and SEO stuff. connected the cli/claude/grokbot to it and now grokbot watches the gh repo for issues/discussions/PRs/comments etc and ALSO basecamp now to keep dev rolling constantly. so, essentially, i can just open claude/codex/grokbot and say "look at [gh-repo(s)] and basecamp, what's next in line for us?" and the agent just starts building, commenting, replying to comments/issues etc., keeps todo lists updated, cards, and decision logs. working on integrating support tickets to basecamp next. there is probably a ton of other stuff i can be doing with it, i am only on day 3 since about 14yrs ago using it. after seeing how easy this has been, now i almost have to look at hey.com email by 37signals since I see they have cli/tui/ai too.

or just stay debt free… but I guess that’s not the cool thing to do.
Refinance it and use the cash to buy more rentals, or live on the cash as it's tax free cash flow

QuickBooks Online raised prices again. @slowbookspro is free, source-available, imports your QuickBooks data, and was built with input from working bookkeepers. if you've been putting off switching, what's actually stopping you?
