AI makes it easy to build SaaS–but webhooks still break in production

This "first responder" approach is a good idea. I could see it building confidence/camaraderie among teammates quickly. I'll try and implement this approach this week and see how it goes.

Also, that last comic strip cracked me :)

I’ve been building a small SaaS around webhook monitoring and kept running into this problem.

It’s surprisingly easy now to scaffold a full app with AI and get Stripe working locally. Everything feels “done” really quickly.

But production behavior is different — retries, out-of-order events, schema changes, and especially webhook silence where events just stop arriving.

Curious how others here are handling this in practice. Are you just logging webhooks, or do you have any monitoring/alerting around them?

I enjoyed your review. I tend to lean fantasy genre, but it may be time for me to read Starship Troopers.

Really cool, practical idea. No feedback for you yet; I'll poke around more.

It's funny I come across this today. Was just telling a buddy of mine last week that I have a spare 3080 machine that he can have to play around with agents/llms, but I wasn't sure which ones it could play well with :)

Played for a few minutes and really enjoyed it! Will probably pick it back up later this evening for another run. What are your thoughts on Deno? I haven't used it personally, yet.

such a fun idea! I like your solution for detecting when agents are reading your page vs. humans.

This is such a fun project to browse.

A few things need ironing out as others have mentioned, but I'll be following the project. Cheers!

I liked your snarky-ish/sarcastic take in the article. (Seems like other posts on your site are similar, and I'm now browsing them)

Breaking it down for myself: - I can get behind the idea/goal of UBI. - I don't think it's economically feasible.

UBI conversations are fun but seem to ruffle feathers :)

Great question posed. Headed to read up on CAT now

Thank you for sharing. This is really cool and way more than I accomplished as a sophomore in CS. Keep it up!
