Everyone probably has the same question: what about Fable? Fable 5 is sick. It is simply the best model in the world out of everything we have ever tried. It's absolutely fantastic. It solves almost any task from start to finish, the w

We at Playcode.io - a company similar to Ploy are still using Opus 4.6. "Why?" you might ask. Because GPT 5.6 Sol, while fast and pleasant to use, is essentially the same model as 5.5 wrapped in new marketing packaging, just to av

What ORMs have taught me: just do not learn SQL. I don’t for 21 years of coding.

I also want to point out that all of this sounds fun and great — until the load kicks in and usage starts to grow. That's when you start seeing: - *Rate limits* from object storage - *Dropped packets* - *Hanging S3 requests* - *Overloa

Surprisingly, I'm already encountering a second solution that involves storing data chunks on S3 — and this is all within the same week. This is becoming popular. At Playcode, we built what we believe is a revolutionary file system for

Anthropic outsmarted everyone again. They released Sonnet 5 with a temporary price reduction until August. Everyone was excited, but in reality, they increased the tokenizer size by 50%. As a result, the actual cost went up by 50%, they shi

«Please shut up and take my money». Jokes aside - can’t wait. Your book The Lean Startup helped me so much. I read it tens of times. It’s one of the reason I got great traction with mine startup https://playcode.io - AI App Buil

I built a complete clone if fly.io infrastructure: VMs, networks, etc. so I have my Vercel on bare metal machines to maintain full-stack apps on https://playcode.io . It took more than a year. Why? Cloud infrastructure is too ex

Thanks for the read. It is a bit more complicated than you think. I completely rebuilt this sync engine + orm with relations, lazy loading etc, using Vue + Pinia in https://playcode.io . Google Linear’s videos, they explained in

When playing busy Dota 2 (realtime game), it was crashing sometimes. I asked Claude Code any advice (without any hope) and it debugged somehow that I have unstable IP address and a rented VPS server will improve my connection. I could not b

The real problem is this: no cheap model right now produces a genuinely beautiful, usable UI when it comes to website building. Not one. And here’s the core tension. The models keep getting better. GPT 5.5 improved. But it also got more exp

Don’t get me wrong, but 7K LoCs means it is still an early attempt to make a coding agent. It starts easy “ah it can edit and read files!”, but it requires a lot of extra effort to make properly for many edge cases, especially caching, pric

Do you have a proof? Anthropic’s CEO said they Are profitable. Same with OpenAI.

Don’t put all the eggs into one basket. It actually helps. I do copy backups to another place as well. One backup is good, but two is better.

Is it a joke? GitHub is not perfect, but it is mostly free and survives billions of commits every day. You don’t think We are all able to scale a service so well. I don’t know, I love it. There are many alternatives like bitbucket, gitlab,

Well, what about PlayStation, etc? Yes it has a PC inside. But, you own it with exceptions. A terminal for games. Similar to phones now. Some advantages and disadvantages here. Anyway, they Own it, they Built it and they have Their rules.

I don’t know. Partly true. I came to web development, when low level things solved: frameworks, ORMs, OSs, databases. I don’t know sql nor c++ well. But I can create a system, a value based on the abstractions. Everyone told me: Ruslan, yo

Yeah, so sad it is dead. I mean it works, but no more high progress. So it is a legacy. But it worked so fast and smooth :( At the same time Craft is too focused to replace Google Docs with swipes. Feels weird. So have to use Notion from ph

Can anyone explain how is it different to VSCode. I just don’t get it. I open VSCode, I have files tree, mardown preview and Claude code to edit. I tried obsidian, Notion. Still don’t get it.

No, you underestimate how huge the malware problem right now. People try publish fake download landing pages for shell scripts or even Claude code on https://playcode.io every day. They pay for google ads $$$ to be one the top 1
