Boox’s tiny Picco e-reader should land in November

Boox teased the Picco, its take on the buzzy Xteink X4 e-reader, back in July, but provided almost no details. Now, thanks to some reporting out of IFA, we've got a bit more info, though sadly still no price. Unlike the Xteink devices, the Picco will not have magnets on the back for attaching to […]

Why I Rewrote Four Services in Go

I had four small services. Each one was a Model Context Protocol adapter — a thin wrapper that lets an AI agent call out to some external thing. One talked to Replicate for image generation. One talked to a Nostr-friendly social poster. One was a Git-aware research helper. One was a Tavily-powered web search. They were all written in Python. They all ran on Knative on a small Kubernetes cluster. They all worked. And they were all just slightly too slow to use. A six-second cold start is fine for nothing. It is the precisely wrong amount of time — slow enough to be noticed, fast enough to feel almost loaded. An AI agent waiting six seconds for a single tool call does not know it is waiting for a cold start; it just knows the tool is sluggish. The user does not know either. The user just thinks the agent is broken. And six seconds was a good day. Some of the services took longer. So I rewrote them in Go. This is what that cost me, and what the measurements actually were before and after. The actual problem Cold starts on serverless platforms are an old problem with a well-known shape. The platform spins your container up only when traffic arrives, so the first request after an idle period pays the full startup tax — image pull (or warm cache hit), container start, language runtime initialisation, application bootstrap. For Python, application bootstrap is where the bill arrives. The interpreter has to start. import statements run. The dependency tree gets walked. If you have ever wondered why a hello world Flask app feels so much heavier than a hello world Go binary, this is why. Python is doing real work before your code runs. Go has already started. On a small Kubernetes cluster — small as in I am paying for it personally — you do not keep a fleet of warm replicas around. You scale-to-zero. You scale-to-zero because that is the entire point of using serverless on small infrastructure. The trade-off is that every idle service eats a cold start the next time it is inv

Cloud Cost Management: Your Bill Is a Product Metric

The cloud bill is the only number in most companies that nobody on the team owns until it's already a problem. Engineering owns latency. It owns error rates, p99, uptime, the whole observability wall. Finance owns the invoice. And between those two ownerships there's a gap wide enough to drive a fifth to a third of your cloud spend straight into a wall — which, across the industry, is roughly what happens. The fix isn't a smarter spreadsheet at month-end. Real cloud cost management isn't an accounting function at all — the fix is to stop treating the bill as accounting and start treating it as a product metric: cost per request, cost per tenant, cost per feature, sitting on the same dashboard as latency and error rate, owned by the same people who own those numbers. That's the whole argument. The rest of this post is why it's true and how it's done. The bill is a lagging accounting artifact, and that's the bug Here's how cloud cost is treated almost everywhere. A bill arrives. Someone in finance reconciles it against a budget. If it's higher than expected, a thread gets opened, an engineer gets pulled in, and everyone spends a week spelunking through Cost Explorer trying to reconstruct why a number that's already been spent is what it is. Then it happens again next month. Every part of that loop is broken. The signal arrives weeks after the decision that caused it. The person reading the signal can't act on it. The person who can act on it never sees it. And the unit of measurement — total dollars — tells you nothing about whether the spend was good . A bill that doubled because you doubled revenue is a triumph. A bill that doubled because someone left a debug log streaming to an expensive tier is a fire. Total dollars can't tell those two apart. They look identical on the invoice. This is the same mistake we'd never make with any other production signal. Nobody reviews latency once a month from a PDF. Nobody waits for finance to tell engineering that p99 regressed.

The S3 Cost Optimization Playbook

Most S3 bills are wrong, and the fix takes an afternoon. The data sits in the most expensive class AWS offers (S3 Standard, $0.023/GB-month), nobody set a lifecycle policy, incomplete multipart uploads are silently billing for storage you can't even see in the console, and every byte your EC2 fleet pulls from S3 is routed out through a NAT Gateway when a free VPC Gateway Endpoint would do the same job for $0. None of this needs an architecture rewrite. It needs a checklist run in the right order. Here is the order. The savings depend entirely on your access pattern — I will not promise you a number I can't see — but the mistakes below are so common that the question is usually how much , not whether . One number is just arithmetic: cold data that moves from S3 Standard ($0.023/GB-month) to Glacier Deep Archive ($0.00099/GB-month) drops about 96% on the storage line for those bytes, and on an observability platform I ran — logs aged past 90 days into Deep Archive — that is exactly the lever that did the work. S3 cost optimization is the same boring discipline as the rest of the bill: see it, then decide what each byte should actually cost. First, see the bill before you touch it You cannot optimize what you cannot measure, and S3's default billing view tells you nearly nothing useful. Turn on S3 Storage Lens before anything else. The free tier gives you 62 metrics at the bucket level with 14 days of history, and crucially it includes cost-optimization metrics out of the box — including "Incomplete multipart upload bytes greater than 7 days old," which is the single most common source of money disappearing into storage nobody knows exists ( AWS S3 Storage Lens docs , accessed 2026-06-18). Storage Lens free metrics answer the three questions that decide everything that follows: Which buckets hold the most bytes? What storage class is that data sitting in right now? Where are the incomplete multipart uploads? For deeper per-prefix analysis or a longer history, Advanced

AWS Savings Plans vs Reserved Instances: Which to Buy

For AWS Savings Plans vs Reserved Instances, the default answer is: buy a Savings Plan, not a Reserved Instance. The exception is OpenSearch, Redshift, and (until December 2025) databases, which still need the older Reserved model. That is the whole decision. For most teams a Compute Savings Plan is the right default: same discount as a Convertible Reserved Instance, far less to manage, and it follows your workload across instance families, regions, Fargate, and Lambda. The cases where a Reserved Instance still wins are narrow and specific, and the December 2025 launch of Database Savings Plans shrank them further. This post is the decision — RI vs Savings Plan, when each wins. It is not a deep-dive on how Savings Plans work under the hood; I cover the mechanics — how the $/hour commitment gets applied, the billing-hour math, the queue order against On-Demand — in a separate post. Here I only want to answer the question you actually have when the Cost Explorer recommendation pops up: which one do I buy? (Commitments are step three of a full bill audit — where they sit in the order is in what I'd audit first on a $50K AWS bill .) The short version Both Reserved Instances and Savings Plans are the same trade: you promise AWS a one- or three-year commitment, AWS gives you a discount over On-Demand. The difference is what you commit to . A Reserved Instance commits you to a specific instance configuration — family, and depending on type, size, region, OS, tenancy. A Savings Plan commits you to a dollar amount of usage per hour (e.g. "$10/hour of compute"), and AWS applies that discount to whatever matching usage you actually run. The Savings Plan is the more flexible instrument at the same discount level, which is why AWS itself now recommends Savings Plans over Reserved Instances for compute. ( AWS, Compute Savings Plans and Reserved Instances , accessed June 2026.) The Reserved Instance has not gone away — but for EC2 compute, it is mostly the legacy choice now. The d

AWS NAT Gateway Pricing: The Hidden Tax, and How to Kill It

If your AWS bill has a NAT Gateway line, you are paying twice for the same packet: once for the gateway to merely exist, and again for every gigabyte it carries. The fix for most teams is dull and free. Add an S3 and a DynamoDB gateway endpoint, route the heavy traffic away from NAT, and only then argue about anything fancier. That single change is free to turn on, takes minutes, and stops the most expensive traffic from ever touching the meter. This is a playbook, not a lecture. The trick with NAT Gateway pricing is that the two charges hide in different places on the bill, so most teams only ever see half of it. Numbers first, then the fixes, in the order I would actually do them. What you are actually being charged for NAT Gateway has two charges, and people forget the second one until they read the bill closely. Hourly charge — you pay for every hour the gateway is provisioned and available, whether or not a single byte moves through it. In us-east-1 (N. Virginia) and us-east-2 (Ohio) this is $0.045 per NAT Gateway-hour . That is roughly $32.85 a month per gateway just to keep the lights on. Partial hours bill as full hours. Data processing charge — you pay $0.045 per GB processed through the gateway, in the same region, on top of the hourly charge. This applies to every gigabyte, inbound or outbound, regardless of source or destination. And then there is the part the pricing page mentions almost in passing: standard AWS data transfer charges still apply on top. NAT processing is an extra meter on traffic you were already paying to move. The hourly charge is fixed and visible. The per-GB charge is the one that catches teams out, because it scales with traffic you mostly cannot see: package installs, container image pulls, S3 reads from private subnets, telemetry shipped out, cross-region calls. The rate varies by region (it runs higher in places like São Paulo, where both the hourly and per-GB rates sit around $0.093), so check your own region rather than trusti

AWS Cost Optimization: What I'd Audit First on a $50K Bill

Give me read access to a $50,000/month AWS account and I will tell you within a day where the first 20-30% is hiding, because on a mid-size bill it is almost always hiding in the same four places, in the same order: data transfer you can't see in the console, instances sized for a load test that ran two years ago, on-demand pricing on a baseline that never moves, and storage rotting in the most expensive class AWS sells. None of this needs an architecture rewrite. AWS cost optimization, at least the first and biggest pass of it, is just the bill read in the right order by someone who knows where AWS buries the meter. This is the order I work. It is the same audit I run on every account I'm handed, and it is the offer — if you want me to run it on yours, the post ends with how. But you can run most of it yourself today, and you should, because nobody is going to care about your bill as much as you do. A note before the recipe: I deal in ranges, not promises. The exact saving on your account depends on what you've built. What I can promise is that the mistakes below are common enough that the question is usually how much , not whether . Hour zero: get the real bill, not the dashboard Before touching a single resource, I want the granular data. The AWS console's cost dashboard rounds, groups, and hides the things that matter. Two tools give you the truth. Cost Explorer , with rightsizing recommendations turned on, is the fast view — group by service, then by usage type, and the bill stops being one big number and starts being a list of decisions. Resource-level and hourly granularity costs extra ($0.01 per 1,000 usage records per month), but for one audit pass it's worth pennies. The Cost and Usage Report (CUR) is the ground truth — line-item, hourly, every charge AWS makes, delivered to your own S3 bucket. Generating it is free; you pay only the few cents of S3 storage. If you're going to do this seriously, set up CUR (now delivered via AWS Data Exports) on day one. E

I Tried Selling a Website to a Local Business at 12. Here's What Happened.

I'm 12 years old. I build websites and full-stack apps. And recently, I decided to test something I've never seriously tried before: Can I actually make money from coding? Not from ads. Not from selling a course. Not from some complicated SaaS business model. Just by making a simple website for a local business. So I started looking for businesses that could use a better online presence. And then I sent my first message. The idea I noticed that a lot of local businesses have good services and good customer reviews, but their online presence isn't always great. Some don't have a website. Some have an old website. Some mostly depend on WhatsApp and Google Maps. So I thought: «What if I make a simple website demo and show them what their business could look like online?» I already had a generic demo website that I could use to show the idea. It wasn't supposed to be a huge SaaS product. It was just a simple website that looked professional enough to make a business owner say: "Okay, I can see how this could help my business." Then I started messaging businesses I searched for local businesses and looked at what they offered. Electrical shops. Car washes. CCTV companies. Painting contractors. Home service businesses. I didn't send the exact same message to everyone. I tried to mention their actual business and services. Then I waited. And waited. Most of the messages weren't even seen. That's when I learned something important: Building the product is only half the problem. You also have to get someone to care about it. Then one business replied I contacted a local business called DHARSHINI CCTV SURVEILLANCE. I told them I was making simple, modern websites for local businesses and showed them my demo. Then I asked: «"Would you like me to show you?"» A while later, they replied with: "💐" I thanked them and offered to make a free sample specifically for their business. And then they said: "Send" That one word made me ridiculously happy. 😂 Because this wasn't just someone
