    Using a plus sign is subaddressing [1] and most ESPs[2] will route to the main address ( multiple@addre.es) . So you can use use multiple+email@adress.es, multiple+xyz@adress.es and both will route the email to you. In my experience most SaaS apps do not filter this out and allow re-sign ups with sub-addresses. Gmail has an additional behavior that dot character is ignored in local component of the address . multiple@gmail.com, mult.iple@gmail.com mult.ip.le@gmail.com all route to the same inbox as well. [1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5233 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5233 [2] Less common in work hosted ESPs but almost universally default enabled in public ESPs for consumers.

      This is not true (anymore?). I have a rather unfortunate exact naming collision with a family member. They use the full name without dot for the local gmail component, I use a dot between the first and last name. Two or three mails have been misplaced in a decade.

        It is still the rules for Gmail (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7436150?hl=en https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7436150?hl=en). It would be feasible to change something like that without breaking security now. Google can hardly start allowing/routing a new account for first.last@gmail.com when you were getting it for years even though your account is firstlast@gmail.com and sensitive communication like say from your bank would routed there.

    This. I tried even tried signing up with my paid business line and it denied me due to VoIP.

  Since when did they have trials?

    I’m running on my 3rd codex trial and have had a month of Gemini Pro. I think Claude is the only one without trials.

That's what I was thinking, but the downvoters are hunting today.

Every 2nd SaaS with a startup plan? I used intercom/customer.io/segment/amplitude/mixpanel for free for a year.

  The marginal cost of all of those is definitely much lower than for Codex, though

The price might be more commoditized if OpenAI kept true to the original mission that lives on, albeit vestigially, in their name.

Make it $200/month subscription which actually gives you access to O($1K) worth of codex compute. Even at the face value it is very generous, IMO.

An online product that was brought into existence by processing all the open source software in the world and makes money by selling the resulting knowledge base, should be accessible free of charge by the producers of that open source software.

Jetbrains gives away for free infinity years of a $180+ per year subscription (its more expensive in the first year or for orgs)[1] for open source authors, students, and more. Sure, the per-month price tag is not as high but after year 4 you saved much more.

  Though it doesn't cost them anything of note to provide this other than maybe some lost sales to devs who would have bought it.

    After using JetBrains IDEs for years I can hardly really get into anything that isn't vertically integrated. Language servers are THE WORST -- I love Zed but only use it for things that don't require language integration at all. It's like how after using Apple hardware for years I couldn't put up with most Windows laptops -- either they were HiDPI ultrabooks with no performance or they were sloppy gamer machines with no class. Learning JetBrains gets you hooked.
