What do Steam Winter Sales and the OBBBA have in common?
Both sneak up and wreck your wallet.
Starting 2026: Gambling losses capped at 90% = phantom income.
Win $10K, lose $10K, owe tax on $1K.
US itemizers: Dec 31 is your last bet day.

PSA: Free models often = free prompt & output training.
Anything you paste. Anything it generates. Both can live in logs or training sets.
API keys. Screenshots of your .env. Server configs. All of it.

Vibe coding without Git is a roguelite run. Only difference? No perks when you wipe, just pain.

"Replacing junior devs with AI is ‘one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.’" — AWS CEO Matt Garman.
Don’t worry though… I’m sure forcing SDE's to copy-paste from Amazon Q will mold those juniors into Prompt Principals in no time.

You shipped fast. Users signed up. It felt real. But did you get E&O insurance, lock down your buckets, enable RLS?
Fast Fashion SaaS also means Fast Fashion Lawsuits.

Be careful when using AI tools with pay-per-use pricing.
You’re not just paying for your prompt — you’re paying for every line of context, every code snippet, every asset description.
One weekend of vibe coding can = $300 bill.

We did it, we made our first penny from SellWall Smasher! While that might not seem like an accomplishment, it shows a few things:
The game code is working
Admob account is fully verified and working
Someone is playing the game

Big news! We finally convinced Google Play to feature our debut masterpiece, 'SellWall Smasher,' created with GameMaker Studio 2. Free to play with ads because it's fun but still kinda meh.

What does Ryan Reynolds and Russell Kay have in common? They both decided to drop the prices on their products instead of raising them.
Premium is back to a One-Time purchase, and Asset Bundles are free for all!
See what Russell says here:
