What do Steam Winter Sales and the OBBBA have in common? Both sneak up and wreck your wallet. Starting 2026: Gambling losses capped at 90% = phantom income. Win $10K, lose $10K, owe tax on $1K. US itemizers: Dec 31 is your last bet day. #fanduel

Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, starting January 1, 2026, you’ll be taxed on gambling income even if you broke even.

You shipped fast. Users signed up. It felt real. But did you get E&O insurance, lock down your buckets, enable RLS? Fast Fashion SaaS also means Fast Fashion Lawsuits. https://t.co/laBhQgyB6K

Be careful when using AI tools with pay-per-use pricing. You’re not just paying for your prompt — you’re paying for every line of context, every code snippet, every asset description. One weekend of vibe coding can = $300 bill. https://t.co/atLLpTl2GM
