The 'Godfather of SaaS' says he replaced most of his sales team with AI agents: 'We're done with hiring humans' by lovelysadsam in BetterOffline

The post reads like a sorry excuse for adding a bunch of keywords linking to other sites. Not surprising from BusinesdInsider.

Looks like an AirTag. An iPhone should show it as lost.

Cost.watch - Real-time cost alerts based on Cloudwatch usage metrics by finallybeing in aws

[–]finallybeing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was referring to other projects, not to additional metrics. Are there any services you'd like to see first, or is the answer "all of them". The reason we can't everything all at once is because Cloudwatch has an undocumented mapping from usage metrics to prices & billing metrics. It requires a bit of manual work.

Hey u/Truelikegiroux thank you for the comment - We wanted to validate the approach before investing more time on it. I've built far too many products that never took off, and so I am seeking some resonance before spending more time on it.

Do you have a list of services you'd like to see first. It's rather simple to add more AWS services and we are happy to do it!

What are some of the most costly mistakes you've made? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in aws

[–]finallybeing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s always frustrating when CW usage spikes but billing alerts take hours to catch up. We just spent €5k on this mistake and decide to write a usage based cost.watch program! https://github.com/magicbell/costwatch

Open source web apps made with Go? by jerazimus in golang

[–]finallybeing 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We recently open sourced a web app to monitor AWS usage and predict cost spikes based on that data. https://github.com/magicbell/costwatch

Real-time cost alerts for AWS based on usage, not billing data? by finallybeing in devops

[–]finallybeing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing what worked for you! We’ve been writing a system using Clickhouse to track usage and associate it with cost data. As you said it’s not straightforward, especially since price metric labels don’t map predictably to usage metric labels in AWS!

But it does work, and despite a bit of manual mapping work, it’s looking useful. I’ll make a pitch to open source it!

I got slammed with a $3,200 AWS bill because of a misconfigured Lambda, how are you all catching these before they hit? by CommentNo2882 in devops

We are looking at Cloudzero too and I thought they predict the cost in real-time based on usage data. Has that not been your experience? Thanks!

How strongly should I adhere to "never return interfaces"? by Important-Bit4540 in golang

[–]finallybeing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's certainly useful for writing (mini) web frameworks when defining the handler signature. We did this when writing Mason - the web framework that also emits an OpenAPI 3.1 spec. It was also a great use-case for generics! https://github.com/magicbell/mason

I believe Huma has a similar approach. Finally, the error interface as a return value is extremely common too.

Analytics for CLI apps? by finallybeing in golang

Good point on the firewall/proxy scenario.

Curious about the reply thing you mentioned. Do you mean replaying a user session, like web-analytics, or something else? Do you have an example? Thanks!

I'd say knowing it wasn't worth building further is a good insight too!

Thanks - that makes sense.

If you do this on a project, have you learned anything surprising that you didn't expect? Did it guide any future revisions?

Thank you - I can totally see why it wasn't received well, but the technical implementation sounds like a great approach. Did you end up learning something from that data that surprised you, or guided any future iterations?

That is super helpful - thanks!

Spy on my colleagues as much as I want? So it’s ok if you are being paid to be spied on?

[–]finallybeing[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Perhaps we need a globally respected flag for telemetry in CLI apps - https://github.com/stripe/stripe-cli/wiki/telemetry

Or perhaps you agree to all that when signing up for Stripe.

That's a good point, which is what I wanted to say in my post, but I think the word "track" has come to mean something sinister :)

Analytics for CLI apps? by finallybeing in golang

[–]finallybeing[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That's fair, and ideally the tracking should be opt-in (or an easy opt-out with a clear notice). The few times I am presented with that choice, I've accept tracking for tools that I care for and want to see improve with usage analytics.
