“An error beats a $10,000 surprise. Nobody wants a production app to go down because it hit a spending limit. Still, Willison argues most teams would take downtime over a surprise $10,000 bill. He wants hard caps turned on by default, with a clear opt-out for anyone who needs to lift them. He also thinks agents should a”

“Your agents don't stop when you go to bed. Coding agents, and the friendlier personal agents built around them, make it easier to ship code that calls paid APIs, hosts apps, and racks up storage and compute charges. But those bills can keep climbing while you sleep. An alert lands at midnight, and by the time you read”

“Last month, Amazon asked Meta to pull its store off Muse, Meta's personal agent. When Meta refused, Amazon flat-out blocked the agent. The Y Combinator cofounder thinks that move gave competitors their first real opening since Amazon launched. His logic is simple: platforms don't ban agents people aren't using, which m”

“This guide shows how to build background agents that run on a schedule without quietly missing things or repeating themselves. You’ll learn how to track where each source left off, handle failed reads, keep memory clean, verify actions before recording them, and cap what each run can spend.”

“A dev walks through the harnesses, models, dev tools, and workflows he actually uses to build software with agents. You’ll learn how to pick between Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other tools, then tie them together into a software-factory-style workflow instead of relying on one coding agent for everything.”
