App host Vercel says it was hacked and customer data stolen — TechCrunch

Vercel said the hack may affect “hundreds of users across many organizations,” and not just its own system, warning of potential downstream breaches spanning the tech industry.

All my web apps are hosted on Vercel. I got an email this morning to tell me my account wasn’t impacted by the data leak. Should I trust this statement? One thing that blows my mind: how on earth such a serious company don’t have a more restrictive policy as to what employees can download and test?

Now that my Mailbrew account is closed, I have moved many of my Brews1 to my RSS Flow web app. This is my home page with many photo-heavy sources. Pretty nice, enh!

I’ll never buy anything other than traditional house furniture at IKEA. Don’t trust anything involving electronics or smart home appliances. I learned the hard way. 🤬

After several years of loyal service, I finally closed my Mailbrew account. This service was sold by its creators a few years ago, and since then, development had completely stopped. It’s a shame because when Mailbrew first appeared, it was an innovative idea that filled a niche for news and reading enthusiasts. I’ve moved on to something else. My reading workflow evolved around RSS and using the best client for the task.

Just finished watching this video from Tom’s Guide with Apple’s Joz and John Ternus. I paid attention to Ternus’s words and answers while asking myself: is this guy really the CEO Apple should be transitioning to? I think so. I much prefer his tone and more apparent enthusiasm compared to Tim’s.

I believe I decided to build my web apps at the right time1, because if I did it now, it would take two or three times longer due to the current credits consumption rate enforced by Anthropic. I made a little tweak to my dashboard web app this morning, and I’m already at 36% for the current session. It’s really that bad. I wouldn’t pay 200$ a month to get more credits.

This morning, I realized that managing open issues and bugs on GitHub is advantageous: the more detailed each open issue is, the more effective it serves as a prompt when importing into Claude Code to initiate a new bug-fixing session. Claude Code can also close the issue at my request and link it to a specific GitHub commit.

I’ve been testing the latest release of the Claude Desktop app, and I must say, more than ever, I prefer integration to splitting features across many different apps. I’m also leaving the CLI behind for now.
