In July 2025, a developer's Claude Code instance hit a recursion loop and burned through 1.67 billion tokens in 5 hours, generating an estimated $16,000 to $50,000 in API charges before anyone noticed. The agent did not crash. It did not throw an error. It just kept calling tools, getting confused, calling more tools, and silently accumulating cost. Old software crashes. LLM agents spend. This is
You're in another app and there's a timer counting down at the top of your phone. You lock the screen and the same timer is sitting there. You swipe down to the Notification Center and it's there too, still ticking. It looks like a notification, but a notification can't tick. That's a Live Activity.

I kept watching the same thing happen. What I Built It's a 3D interactive sales simulator. I call it a flight simulator for software — except instead of flying a plane, you're walking a non-technical client through the risk inside their own infrastructure. The Map You feed it a simple JSON file describing your client's tech stack. It reads it and instantly draws a floating, 3D web of nodes — s
I was building a side project that needed image compression. My first instinct was to look for an API — TinyPNG, Cloudinary, something with a POST endpoint. if (blob.size >= file.size) { Try the requested quality first. If the output is bigger, walk down through lower qualities until something sticks. As a last resort, if WebP output is still larger, fall back to JPEG entirely. Not elegant, but it
Ever had users sign up with [email protected] or [email protected]? Disposable email addresses are a headache for any app that relies on real user contact. I built burner-bouncer to solve this — a zero-dependency libra
