Building with AI, in public

I build real things with AI. Then I show my work.

Notes from the bench

Split card: priced per use, my 4-day build came to $536, which I never paid, against what I actually paid, my usual $200 a month with nothing extra.Split card: priced per use, my 4-day build came to $536, which I never paid, against what I actually paid, my usual $200 a month with nothing extra.

Claude Code: monthly plan or pay per use? Most games only need the plan

Claude Code subscription vs API credits, in plain words. A flat monthly plan covers building your game, website or app with Claude. Paying per use only comes in if your finished app needs Claude to talk to other people.

Market Storm · the standing thesis · August 31, 2026

NVIDIA made $59.7 billion last quarter. $24 billion actually arrived.

The gap is not an accounting quirk. NVIDIA now waits 60 days to be paid instead of 45, and for the first time it told investors in writing that some big buyers can take up to a year. It has also promised to cover $108.5 billion of somebody else’s rent, and set aside nothing against it. Forty-five claims went to agents told to disprove them, checked against 94 filings. Two came back wrong. The rest say the same thing: the company at the centre of the AI build has started financing its own customers.

  • 60Days NVIDIA waits to be paid
  • $1.24TRent signed, buildings not handed over
