Prospect: β€œMailchimp is too pricey. Do you have nonprofit pricing or pay‑as‑you‑go?”
Me: β€œYou can try all features for free.”

Prospect: β€œGreatβ€”can you do a 1:1 concierge demo instead?”

2-week verdict on Claude Max: gorgeous code 😍, zero context πŸ€ͺ.

It invents APIs and gushes that you’re brilliant even when you’re wrong.

GPT-O3’s code may be less pretty, but it has much more context and just worksβ€”and it’s far less of a yes-bot.

Running Google Ads with tracking? It takes FIVE separate Google accounts, all wired together. Absolute nightmare and an insult to marketers. Full rant β†’ www.linkedin.com/posts/marcus...

I get many calls on my website to "Y29uZmlybS" which is base64 encoded for "confirm".

Does anyone else see such behavior? Why? Who? What to do against it? It screws my Plausible stats :(
