We never needed SKUs for our "hard products" that we sent out so we never encountered this...

Very nicely written, it made it very accessible to those who aren't super familiar with reverse engineering. I'm fascinated by "transport billing" - it's such a complex problem, owing to the different infrastructure

That is exactly my experience, but we stopped it before it became a problem. We only had 5 plans and we didn't do too many "custom plans" until we had the system in place. Once it was in place, we moved everyone into normal,

Really nicely done. We use Linear and despite its flaws I can't imagine going back to any other tool. Worth the migration.

Everyone's copying everyone else's SQL. The standard is very rarely actually implemented (it is very broad and isn't super useful to most users)

Truth is Stripe billing works fine for us. We've built around some of the limitations and expanded it to be super powerful (e.g., we built a cashback system based around Stripe's excellent webhooks https://arnon.dk&#x2F

I built (together with my team) an entitlement service, which makes creating new billing plans a lot easier, and reduced our time to launch in new markets down to just a few minutes. I wrote about it here https://arnon.dk/wh

That's altering the methods - and generally considered a violation of the validity of the results.

This article is very poorly written unfortunately. It goes into multiple "we don't know, but here's an option" paragraphs which give no useful information.

Note this big gotcha: Stripe's VIES validation only takes place once and there is no way to retrigger it. For compliance purposes you have to validate it yourself every quarter or so, on recurring transactions.

How does this solve anything? They're still making "CMPs" for mining. The silicon is still the same. The card still needs to be produced the same way. They're only saving a few dollars off the BOM on the HDMI/Displa
