I have really been enjoying using it. It seems very good at handling simple but time consuming problems although I find longer chats it seems to forget about the previous code and gets muddled. I am using it in Zed and also with a Claude account as I find I can hit the daily limit when using it for a few hours.

I only checked HN as I started getting service unavailable error pages in the middle of it helping me rewrite some code.

Only really tried it with embedded C and Next.js stuff and it can make a few unsafe mistakes but when I need a helper function it is much quicker than me finding one myself.

It’s a e-commerce style site with ISR. Product pages are cached for 24h with pricing fetched on the client to save the revalidate. I think I worked out what the price increase is though and it’s the edge network £2.40 (London) per million requests. From what I can tell most requests are bots and scrapers so it might not be too easy reduce. The pricing actually seems quite high when compared to other CDNs but I might have misunderstood it.

The tone of the email was a bit strange for a $960 a year increase suggesting we optimise but not yet providing what the cost increases are from. I appreciate we will get the updated usage metrics later in the month but it makes it slightly hard to explain to management why costs are increasing.

Most of our increases I assume will be the data cache pricing and the only real way to optimise that is to move data fetching out of data cache and use our own cheaper caching layer.

We have kind of the same thing. All data is in an API which is less than a cheap VPS and display messages to them about using the API if they get blocked but they just come back with a new IP every time.

I think the real issue here is that zooming does not fix it. I can understand most people don't test every screen size (although we test loads) and would be happy to zoom out for some pages. What I ended up doing was using dev tools to switch to a normal size which was kinda annoying.

I think there are many problems running Linux like everything you said and things like HiDPi but I just don't think I could dev on windows.

So I really wanted to use this for our team but hit a few problems. This seems to run on AWS and so does most of our systems if this does not work and with no way to export the private keys I assume there is no way to SSH. Also it seems to use the same key for team stuff as personal stuff showing personal git commits in the audit log.

I wish everything just used wayland and scaled correctly I am sick of having to launch chrome with an environment variable so it can run on one screen and having another instance for another. Also silly things like file dialogs not fitting. It's annoying when you look and the issues are all from years ago and still not fixed.

I keep checking these articles in hope they mention Linux. How can a 1Password expect companies to use it when it does not have a cross platform solution...

Disappointed that there is not a Postgres hidden game which is what I thought when reading the title.
