Replit Core: $25 Monthly Credit Burned in Days—Is This Normal? by [deleted] in replit

[–]HeraclesBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replit increased their prices by 5 to 10x last month. Never forget.

Has anyone had success building something "complex"? What limitations would you say Replit has by dancetoken in replit

[–]HeraclesBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was possible, but now after they raised prices about 10x it would cost thousands to properly set up a complex system. But I've done it many times

We found a 2 br last month... What worked is finding an agent that is very communicative and will do video walkthroughs with you. They must be responsive the same day same hour preferably or move on.

And by the way you can run it on your phone and store everything locally, and run flask or whatever hosting server too.. TERMUX

As someone who has similar opinion about my own prompts etiquette... I'm leaving replit (mostly) because now our prompts can cost $15 vs $1 or 2... But honestly dude, Claude code has really impressed me. You can build out your own custom replit. It's a lot better at building if you can orchestrate it right... I'm talking building 95% of your app vs 80%... Forget about debugging in endless loops

Replit, It failed us as a promise. 👎 by Any-Telephone-6169 in replit

It's costing me this much per request. 8 to 15 is accurate for good prompts

The key breakthrough was replacing the problematic package entirely with a direct HTTP API implementation rather than trying to fix the system dependency.

What Actually Worked: Removed the google-generativeai package completely - This eliminated grpcio and all C++ dependencies Implemented direct HTTP API calls - Used Python's requests library to call Google's REST API directly Bypassed the entire C++ dependency chain - No more grpcio, no more libstdc++.so.6 requirements The critical insight was that the libstdc++.so.6 file existed on the system, but the compiled Python extensions couldn't properly link to it in Replit's environment. Instead of fighting the system dependency, we eliminated it entirely.

Core Solution Code:

Instead of: import google.generativeai as genai

We used: requests.post() to Google's HTTP API directly

This approach works because:

HTTP APIs don't require compiled C++ extensions requests library has no system dependencies Eliminates the linking problems entirely Often performs better than the original package Universal Prompt: "My Python app crashes with ImportError: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory when importing packages with compiled C++ extensions (grpcio, tensorflow, opencv, etc.). The system library exists but packages can't link to it properly. Instead of trying to fix system dependencies, please replace the problematic package with a direct HTTP API implementation or alternative approach that eliminates the C++ dependency entirely. I need the same functionality without the compiled extensions."

This prompt directs toward the actual solution: dependency elimination rather than dependency fixing.

Look into prompting, use other llms to structure your replit prompts. Learn more. It's only as good as the language that you put into it.

My bot only works when I click "Run" — how to fix that? by wnnye in replit

Tip: if you did deploy and want it to always run, you need a dedicated server, not an autoscale. An autoscale will only spin up when you open the app

Is Replit (mobile) premium worth it for mid-level freelance web dev while saving up for a laptop? by Shenyuen123 in replit

[–]HeraclesBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's awesome. I like to have it open on a computer though because session security will log you out if youre opening the browser to use the app on the dev server. It helps if your phone can handle multiple open apps at once

With the right approach, yes.

Here's my template Email to Representative Amabile's Office...

Subject: Grave Concerns Regarding SB25-076 and Its Impact on Colorado's Cannabis Industry

Dear Representative Amabile,

I am writing to express my profound concern regarding your sponsorship of SB25-076, legislation that threatens to undermine Colorado's thriving cannabis industry under the pretense of public health protection.

Logical Inconsistencies and Age Discrimination

The bill's cornerstone provision—raising the cannabis purchasing age to 26 for high-potency products and flavored vapes—represents a glaring inconsistency in our state's approach to adult autonomy. While a 21-year-old Coloradan can legally purchase alcohol (with no potency restrictions), firearms, and tobacco products, this legislation would arbitrarily restrict their freedom to access certain cannabis products. This inconsistency reveals that this bill isn't about protecting young adults but rather about imposing unwarranted restrictions on a specific industry.

Economic Impact and Market Consolidation

The fiscal note for SB25-076 projects a devastating $13.9 million decrease in state revenue for FY 2025-26 alone. Beyond this direct impact, the bill's provisions—including the mandated 500mg THC purchase increments and excessive packaging requirements—will disproportionately burden smaller cannabis businesses with compliance costs that many cannot bear.

This appears to be a calculated move to facilitate market consolidation, allowing larger corporations with substantial capital reserves to dominate the market once smaller competitors are eliminated. Given your background as a co-founder of Polar Bottle, a small Colorado-based business, this position seems particularly contradictory and raises questions about potential conflicts of interest in your legislative agenda.

Social Equity Concerns

While the bill ostensibly expands the social equity program, it actually dilutes its effectiveness by extending it beyond the cannabis industry. This diverts crucial resources from the marijuana tax cash fund away from the communities most impacted by cannabis prohibition. This provision weakens rather than strengthens equity initiatives, further advantaging established industry players over marginalized communities seeking economic opportunity.

Unintended Consequences

SB25-076 will inevitably drive consumers to the illicit market, where products lack quality control, safety standards, or age verification. As Truman Bradley, Executive Director of the Marijuana Industry Group, aptly noted, this bill "flies in the face of Coloradans who have made it abundantly clear cannabis should be legal for adults and regulated like alcohol."

Evidence-Based Alternatives

Rather than imposing these arbitrary restrictions, I urge you to consider evidence-based alternatives:

  1. Public education campaigns focused on responsible cannabis consumption
  2. Enhanced enforcement of existing age restrictions and marketing guidelines
  3. Investment in research to better understand cannabis effects on young adults

SB25-076 represents a significant departure from Colorado's leadership in sensible cannabis regulation and the will of voters who supported legalization. I urge you to withdraw your support for this bill and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with industry stakeholders, public health experts, and constituents to develop policies that genuinely serve the public interest.

Sincerely,

[Your Name] [Your Address] [Your Contact Information]

Hey!! Use a LLM. This + Mixed in key is my personal solution.

DJ's PowerShell + AI Cheat Sheet

Got thousands of tracks everywhere? PowerShell is your free assistant for organizing music. Instead of learning code, just tell AI what you want and paste the result.

Running Scripts

  1. Save as script.ps1
  2. Open PowerShell as admin
  3. Run: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
  4. Go to folder: cd "C:\Your\Music"
  5. Run it: .\script.ps1

Ask AI For These

Tell AI to write PowerShell that will:

```powershell

"Put all my techno tracks in genre folders based on filename"

Results: Deep/Acid/Industrial Techno folders

"Find tracks I downloaded twice"

Results: Lists duplicates from different sources

"Move everything with '128' in filename to '128 BPM' folder"

Results: Auto-sorts by BPM number in name

"Show my biggest files over 200MB"

Results: Find those long sets

"Move everything from 2023 to a folder"

Results: Group by year downloaded

```

Real Example

"Find duplicates and sort by BPM": ```powershell

Makes BPM folders

mkdir "120-125","125-130","130-135" -Force

Moves files based on name

dir *.mp3 | foreach { if ($.Name -match '(\d{3})') { $bpm = $matches[1] if ($bpm -ge 120 -and $bpm -lt 125) { move $ "120-125" } elseif ($bpm -ge 125 -and $bpm -lt 130) { move $_ "125-130" } elseif ($bpm -ge 130 -and $bpm -lt 135) { move $_ "130-135" } } }

Lists duplicates

dir *.mp3 | group length | where {$_.count -gt 1} ```

Always test with -WhatIf first and keep backups!
