Freelancers often focus on revenue but don't always calculate their effective hourly rate after time and client-specific costs. I built a simple calculator that lets you enter revenue, hours worked, and expenses to see the real hourly rate for a client. Sometimes the result is surprising. Curious if others find it useful.

A 26-year-old software engineer quit his corporate job, moved back in with his parents, and used AI coding assistants to build a LinkedIn content tool that hit $62k MRR in just 90 days.

The story of Cameron Trew and Kleo (kleo.so) illustrates how AI code editors are enabling solo founders to outbuild entire teams.

Key insights:

- Built MVP in 4 weeks using Claude Code vs. estimated 10-12 weeks without AI (60-70% time savings) - Stack: Next.js, Vercel, Neon, Inngest, Clerk - all AI-augmented - Distribution-first: leveraged cofounder's 180k LinkedIn followers, no ads or Product Hunt - 500 beta spots at $59-79/mo sold out in 4 days - $62k MRR by month 3, on track for $300k MRR

The AI-native stack he used: - Claude Code for primary coding - Claude Vision for document analysis - Vercel AI SDK for chat interfaces - PostHog + Langfuse for observability - Deepgram for voice-to-text - Perplexity API for web research

This isn't "AI wrote my code, I went to the beach." It's "AI gave me leverage, I focused on architecture, user empathy, and distribution."

For solo founders, this changes everything. What would have cost $10k/mo in engineer salaries 5 years ago now costs $100 in infrastructure + 1 highly-leveraged founder.

What are you building with AI code editors?

So, Brave now enables Casting by default on desktop — and does so silently, without explicit notification or consent after an update? What fresh hell is this?

A browser that markets itself as privacy‑first should not be turning on a network discovery feature by default as if it were a trivial setting. If the Brave team’s operational goal is to expand the browser’s attack surface (more than they already have) they’ve made a strong start. Forcing users to manually opt out of Media Router to protect their systems and data directly contradicts the principle of “privacy by default.” This is exactly the kind of behavior many users left Chrome to avoid.

Media Router is not a harmless convenience toggle. Under the hood, it relies on automatic device discovery protocols such as SSDP and UPnP on the local network. That means the browser is actively participating in multicast discovery traffic and probing for devices that advertise casting endpoints. Enabling this behavior by default alters the browser’s network footprint and introduces additional code paths and interactions that would otherwise not exist.

Any feature that performs automated device discovery should be treated as a security‑sensitive capability. SSDP has a long history of being abused in poorly configured environments, and expanding the browser’s participation in that ecosystem increases the potential attack surface. At a minimum, it amplifies observable network activity and exposes extra logic that can be triggered by devices on the local network.

Quietly turning this on without user knowledge or explanation is the opposite of responsible security design. Users were not warned, not asked, and not given any transparency about what the feature does or which protocols it uses. That is not what “privacy by default” looks like.

If Brave wants its privacy claims to remain credible, this needs to change. Apparently Brave’s privacy branding is negotiable when convenience features are involved. Quietly enabling network discovery features in the background is exactly the sort of practice Brave claims to stand against.
