Before LLM some companies were measuring developers performance based on the number of commits (regardless of quality). Not surprising now companies are measuring performance using token usage

Of course, if it's a free app they have to find a way to make money

If your ultimate goal is to start a business, why not start now already as a side project? It can only help you, even if later you don't want to start your own business anymore you can put your projects on your CV. Also to mention: some people only use their first job to get funding for their side project

Yes. I'm using them from GitHub copilot, since not all models are priced the same I use cheap ones by default, then upgrade if needed. It happened a few times that ChatGPT-5-mini could not solve something decently. Claude Sonnet is good enough most of the time. If not, I switch to Opus and so far it solved all problems Sonnet couldn't

Example of products built by solo devs: check Product Hunt, there are products launching everyday, some built by one person

How do you find such data leaks? Do you manually check all websites you visit?

Mamma Mia I see them! Crazy 1018 customer mails addresses at first sight

Yes please, I only checked the ones from homepage, I probably missed some if the other pages includes other scripts

I think self-hosted should be cost effective if using terabytes of storage and/or high data transfer, as raw storage attached to a server is cheap, and many servers come with unlimited bandwidth (unlimited in data amount, not in transfer speed) I'm self-hosting a PostgreSQL database but it's not because managed DB didn't scale, I did this choice because I have all the needed technical skills, I don't expect the required resources to double overnight, and prefer paying a fixed amount per month to rent a server rather than a pay-as-you-go managed DB
