> Reality is probably that there’s a backlog item to implement a view, but it’s hard to prioritize over core features.

It's even harder to prioritize when the feature you pay to develop probably costs you money.

I hear OpenAI and Anthropic are making tools that are supposedly pretty good at helping with creating a view from a backlog.

Back to the conspiracy ^^

"We were going to implement a counter but hit out weekly Claude code limit before we could do it. Maybe next week? Anthropic."

If you’re on HN you’ve probably been around enough to know it’s never that simple. You implement the counter, now customer service needs to be able to provide documentation, users want to argue, async systems take hours to update, users complain about that, you move the batch accounting job to sync, queries that fail still end up counting, and on and on.

They should have an indicator, for sure. But I at least have been around the block enough to know that declaring “it would be easy” for someone else’s business and tech stack is usually naive.
