Frugal Tokens – explore costs and usage across coding agents

TLDR built a Chrome site blocker that lets you into distracting sites only after you do some math or simple coding (JS only right now). Direct link to extension (the site just gives you more context): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sphinx-earn-your-di... Philosophically it's a speed bump rather than a hard gate, because you'll eventually tear a gate down but you'll leave a speed bump. I've always eventually removed site blockers, or just had them become a nuisance that I reflexively dismiss before getting to distracting sites. Site blockers don't really reduce the "start navigating to a distracting site" muscle memory, and they eventually just become annoying. Dopamine is a hell of a drug. At the same time, I've been getting frustrated that my intermediate/advanced math skills have atrophied, and becoming more senior in my career (plus AI...) has caused my coding skills to atrophy even further. Realistically I'm not going to force myself to do math or coding exercises aft

Vibe coding made building fast. It didn't make understanding easy. Something changed in the last year. Vibe coding (or agentic engineering if you ask some) made writing an app fast. Week-to-weekend fast. More people are building software than ever before, and I think that's a genuinely good thing. But fast building creates a new bottleneck. Writing code is no longer the hard part. Understanding what you built and its nuances is. A huge share of people shipping right now have never analyzed

Hello Bill. We have been looking for GitHub alternatives that fit both designers and developers. We couldn't find the alternative we were looking for. So we made our own.
