The $120K Dorm Room Tech Stack
A college kid built a website, scaled it to 150K daily users, and sold it for $120,000. This is the dead-simple, low-cost tech stack he used to do it.

Cloudflare just acquired VoidZero, the company behind Vite, in a deal shaking up the JavaScript world. This isn't just about one tool; it's a trend where big tech is buying the open-source infrastructure you rely on.
GoDaddy renews a .com at about $21.99 and a .ai at $159.99 — roughly double the at-cost price charged by Vercel, Cloudflare, and Porkbun, which sell domains at registry wholesale with no markup. Your domain does nothing differently for the extra money; it's a laziness tax on never moving it. Here's the markup broken down by TLD, why the first-year-cheap / renew-high model exists, the trade-offs of each at-cost option, and how to transfer a domain in ~20 minutes with zero downtime.
Your website is invisible to the next wave of AI, and you don't even know it. A new free tool from Cloudflare reveals your score and tells you exactly how to fix it.
GitHub was built for humans, but AI agents need something faster and more programmatic. Cloudflare's new 'Artifacts' is a Git-compatible file system that lets AI agents create, fork, and manage thousands of repos instantly.
Cloudflare just open-sourced VibeSDK, a platform that builds and deploys full-stack apps from a single sentence. This move directly challenges expensive, closed-source AI tools like v0 and Replit by letting you own your own AI developer.
