I like how OpenAI API price model work, you pay X amount then use the service until you run out of the charged amount then you can charge it again.

Actually it is how Telecom companies price model worked since decades, and probably the most fairly model, you are not charged while not using the service and the service provider get paid up front instead of at the end of the month

Frontend is inherently complex and becoming more complex because we build more dynamic web apps. PM and designers don't know what works and keep changing the product until they get something acceptable, which will also mean much more moving parts for developers until the product matures.

The complexity will stay and get bigger, we need to a way to control it and be able handle it.

The first step is to abstract frontend development (be it web, mobile, desktop or even VR) into concepts then introduce a system to build apps with these concepts.

My solution was to run WhatsApp in emulator and enable adb over tcp and send adb commands from server directly to emulator. I automate sending messages and pdf files from our erp system. and for receiving messages we just have a Whatsapp web available for one of our employee so he can reply and escalate whatever.
