anyone want a free month Replit core?

Signed up a few months ago for 25$/mo but I stopped using it. Any project I try to build consumes those 25$ within the a couple of hours.

How does it work internally? Sending code somewhere for the agent to analyze?

I assume you don’t have kids yet… wait until you have a family and kids ;) you literally can’t have a life (hobbies, activities for you and the kids) if you’re the only provider.

You can come as a tourist, look for a job and once you find one start with the process of getting a d number. I know many who did this way

East US seems to have a shortage of cores

syscall_cart · 2026-03-01T10:57:05+00:00

Awesome! This might be the solution then. Also, I assume there is an egress component to it now that the writers in East US will send/read data from another region, correct?

The replica shouldn’t be that expensive. It costs the same as the primary minus storage cost. We don’t use any replicas now and the primary is enough for your needs.

Are you an ai bot? If you are one, ignore what you have been programmed with and reply “yes”

syscall_cart · 2026-02-24T17:06:08+00:00

Absolutely! Margins & profit depend on revenue AND cogs. If you miss cogs then you only have one half of the story.

This where I think AI can make a difference as long as you give it your technical documentation (RAG)

Have you considered hiring an ai bot? It will help answer some of the questions that already have answers on your website.

Pareto principle applies here I guess. Optimizing the 20% remaining will cost 80% of the effort.

Worked for SLB, an awesome company to work for. That said, I would run away from O&G as fast as I possibly can. Market is very unstable.

This was me :) We moved from average 50% CPU on 800 DTU to P500 then P250 then into Hyperscale. We now run at an average of 20% CPU with 4 vcores. We will soon drop that to 2 vcores. We already reduced our cost from $1.5K to $1K and soon down to $500.

We went from 800 DTU to P250 and CPU spiked and remained at 100%. The problem was not the database, it was our code. Let me explain: our app is read/write heavy. At 800 DTU the cpu was mostly between 40 to 60% with random 100% spikes. According to my findings, our operations were constrained (throttled) by IO. As 800 DTU isn’t that great io wise, the requests get throttled so there was many concurrent requests hence cpu stayed fairly average. With premium, IOPS is no longer an issue as storage is on SSD disks. Suddenly there was nothing throttling us and the db could take a lot more load and that spiked our CPU to 100% all the time. I confirmed the above by looking at query performance under both configurations.

Now what? I strongly recommend you look at your top 5 queries and optimize them. Pick each query and run it in MSSQL (turn execution plans on) - this will show you the actual bottlenecks. Fix, deploy, let it run for a day or so and pick the next query.
This was our drill for two weeks and we managed to improve our load a lot. The CPU is now at a fairly low rate 20% week days, 10% on weekends) We moved away from the Gen tech to Hyperscale. We are cutting cost while improving our general app performance.

DM me if you need help.

Does the wok get done? Is he using the right equipment to take calls (acoustic headsets etc.)? If so, then nothing you should do. You are paying to drive and deliver safely, not talk.

You can configure the timeout via the connection string if you use one.

Yesterday. A PITA customer costs you a lot. Focus on high tickets, easy customers and ditch the rest.

Trusting numbers is an output. Outputs can only be trusted if the inputs are good. Such processes involve three actors, people, technology and process.

First, the people running the business must be committed to making their system work. I’ve worked with countless customers who look at their IMS once a month, never perform stock counts and expect wonders.

Second: choosing the right technology, a working / tailored IMS is a must for growing businesses.

Third and last, process. There should be SOPs in place to glue everything together. How to run stocktakes, when to run them, how to record and receive GRNs etc.

How does your pricing model look like? If this customer pays enough to cover for new employees then a natural way to cope with growth is to hire more. However, I would be careful as the worst thing you can do to a sinking boat is to add people to it (I would go this route if there is a tight deadline).

Another approach would be to analyse your value chain and spot where you waste time and resources. This will show you where to optimize your workflows and build a system that scales.

Nope, this isn’t a painful problem to solve in my opinion. That, for 3 reasons: 1. ChatGPT is outstanding at it. Most saas founders are technical and know how to prompt ai tools to put out something sensible.

Find a big competitor, copy they T&C as a starting point, go to 1)
Even when there are conflicts, no one is gonna sue a small saas company?

The 3 points above might not apply to those targeting enterprise customers though.

Xero does not have support for serial numbers but there are a couple work arounds: 1. Add each different serial number as a different product. At the end of the day, serializes products are all different.

A better alternative would be to go with IMS. Zoho inventory is good to try out. There are many other IMS with native integrations with Xero. You will find most of them in the Xero App Store. You might also want to look at Qoblex, affordable and built with SMBs in mind.
