    With the new limits on consumption from GitHub it's clear that token usage is the new version of compute costs. Consumption based pricing has taken over as the norm to match COGS and to ensure that scale doesn't result in value destruction due to negative unit economics.

    Maybe I'll try getting back into this twitter thing. Is there still some semblance of a smart group of people to openly chat and debate with around here? I know I saw @mattjay and @haroonmeer posting recently so I'm holding out hope!

    Inspirational quote of the day: "My own experience and development deepen every day my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy." -- George Eliot

    This might be one of the most arrogant and narrow-minded threads in startup land that I've read in a while. They claim that there is no need to understand or study business; you can learn it on the fly. Why wouldn't you want to study and learn both? It takes both skills!
