How I cut my Claude Code bill 20 with a BYOK proxy (and what I learned about token economics)

TL;DR My Claude Code invoice in March was $312.40. In April it's projected under $20. I didn't swap models, self-host, or downgrade quality. The trick is a thin, Anthropic-compatible BYOK (bring-your-own-key) proxy that sits between your client and api.anthropic.com. One-line SDK change: baseURL: "https://aiusage.ai/v1". That's the whole migration. If you want the tool, it's aiusage.ai...

AI Isn’t The Product, Context Is

Despite billions in investment, 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail to deliver measurable business impact. The problem isn’t the models, it’s how they’re used. AI models are infrastructure, like the internet, not the product. What differentiates organisations is what they build on top of it. As capabilities converge, advantage shifts from tool selection to the quality of context and how it’s integrat...

I scanned the top 20 npm packages. Everyone passed CVE checks, but here's what the static analysis found

Every time you run npm install, you're trusting someone else's code to run on your machine. Not eventually — right now. Postinstall hooks fire the second a package lands. No review, no prompt. I built plum to change that. It's a CLI that downloads the package tarball into memory, reads the source, and scores it before anything touches your project. I pointed it at the 20 most downloaded npm pack...

ReactJs Performance ~ Virtualization for Large Lists~

Rendering very large lists in React can quickly become a performance bottleneck. For example, trying to render thousands of items at once often leads to laggy UI or even browser instability. Virtualization addresses this by limiting how many elements are actually mounted in the DOM. Instead of rendering the entire list, only the items currently visible in the viewport are rendered, along with a s...

Secret Management for Vibe Coders: The System I Wish I Had a Year Ago

Yesterday Vercel announced a security incident. This morning I sat down with my project and realized I didn't have a clear system for what to do next. I knew I was supposed to "rotate my keys." I'd done it before — because an AI told me to. But I'd never really understood why, in what order, or whether I'd been storing secrets properly this whole time. I've been building with AI tools for just o...

Migrating a Large Dashboard to Nuxt 4: Lessons from God Plan

Admin dashboards are where framework upgrades hurt: lots of routes, auth boundaries, data tables, charts, and “just make it work” code from years of iteration. At God Plan, we ship God Panel — a Nuxt-based admin surface that leans on a shared UI kit, i18n, and SSR-friendly patterns. Moving (or staying aligned with) Nuxt 4 was not a single “flip a version” moment; it was a series of decisions about...
