Congratulations, Chris! I’ve always been competing with you, and many users came to Playcode from Codepen. In fact, I even offered to buy playcode.io about 9-10 years ago, but you …

Fun fact: we also built our cloud platform based on Fly.io’s ideas, but we supercharged it with a custom Rust filesystem. This platform powers full-stack applications for business …

I've heard stories like this before, how one or a few people miraculously coded up an alternative to Node.js. But can you name even one that actually works properly in production? …

I’m pretty sure Opus 5 is adapted to tricks from long reasoning in Kimi K3 and based on original Opus 4.8. It is not fable in any form.

Opus yes, it likes to explain steps and reread files. Fable is not better, it says zero information between steps and then output a summary. A perfect “send - done”.

Pelican svg and a near-perfect 3D MacBook at max effort for $0.16, about a fifth of Fable's price. Fable 5 still wins on detail with no visible errors, but it's close. And this isn…

We've switched the default model in playcode.io among Opus 4.8, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and Sonnet 5. I must admit, Opus 4.8 is quite expensive, and the costs accumulate quickly. Opu…
