THIS GUY LOST $200 IN ONE DAY BECAUSE THE STRING "HERMES.md" WAS IN HIS GIT COMMITS HERMES.md is a real convention used in AI agent projects. it's a system prompt specification file. not some obscure edge case he's on claude max 20x at $200 a month. yesterday claude code hit him with "you're out of extra usage" out of nowhere his dashboard showed 13% weekly usage. 0% current session. 86% of his plan was sitting there untouched but $200.98 in extra usage already burned through what should have been covered by his subscription he tried logout & login, different models, fresh installs and nothing worked anthropic support sent the ai bot (four rounds of the same scripted response). eventually they just gave up on him so he started binary searching repos and commits manually on his own time until he found the trigger the string "HERMES.md" in a recent git commit message uppercase, with the .md extension, anywhere in your commit history that's it claude code includes recent commits in its system prompt and something server side flags HERMES.md and quietly routes you off your max plan onto API rate billing > AGENTS.md? fine > README.md? fine > HERMES without .md? fine > lowercase hermes.md? fine > uppercase HERMES.md? you're getting charged API rates he reported it. anthropic support acknowledged the bug three times, called it an "authentication routing issue", thanked him for finding it then refused to refund the $200 so the man pays $200 a month for max, lost another $200 to a billing bug they confirmed, did anthropic's QA work for free on his weekend, and got a "thank you for your patience" in return check your commit history before claude code quietly drains your account too

Hi everyone! I have a friend who's a Vue developer who recently got laid off. He's not on social media, so I'm trying to help "expand his network." If anyone is looking for an excellent Vue dev, let me know, and I'll make an intro. Thanks! (please RT)

Ignorant meta monkeys are a problem regardless of class and spec. Given we are more likely to fix the environment or world hunger before LFGs inability to think for themselves, just go with "Don't pug" and call it a day

after trying to pug a key on my mw for the past 2 hours, I can say that if you're looking to main monk in dragonflight that's probably a ...
It's certain to get fixed given you would block your CI/CD pipeline in the process. While "TODO" is a horrible way to identify a bug, I'm not sure this is the play for most folks either. Personally, I'd just fix the bug
Do not use a TODO comments. Instead, add a test that fails because of the issue. That way, it might actually get fixed!

Publicly want to offer my support to everyone experiencing awful things around Modern Frontends, like @cassiecodes. I wasn't there, but it fits a pattern of behaviour I've encountered first-hand. x.com/cassiecodes/status/159… Organisers, speakers, attendees, beware.

One of my friends spoke out about her experience with Modern Frontends. I have some things to say too. It seems like a lot of people do. cassie.codes/posts/modern-fr…
