Microsoft came up with some objectively good products both for consumers and developers in the recent decade. For consumers, Xbox would be the biggest one, and for developers, VSCode, WSL/WSL2, Azure.

With stripe, the testing environment is sufficiently powerful that you don't need to test in production. With the test environment, you should have enough confidence that the integration will work. If you feel the need to do a payment

Stripe knows your name, which you had to submit to go live. If your first payment is with a credit card in your name, particularly if it's a large amount (which the fraud system flags as money laundering), you will get banned with 100%

Reminder that if you test a live payment on a new Stripe deployment, you will get INSTANTLY banned. Don't do a live test with a credit card in your name !!

This is the problem with wanting to have a cofounder at all costs. It's a bad idea. Especially if you're stuck with an idea guy.

KasmVNC has worked great for me to setup development VMs which require GUI work. Kasm Workspaces is an interesting product which allows you to create disposable desktop sessions. I use it to test software, setup a particular configuration,

Right Lago could be used as replacement to Stripe Billing. And one attractive feature is that it decouples your tech stack from Stripe (could use another payment processor and still handle the subscription lifecycle the same way). This is g

Usage based billing is tough. I took a long hard look at lago and ultimately it wasn't for me (B2C API based business). I couldn't do without the customer portal which is a premium feature, and premium was at least $1,500 USD&#x2F
