Hank Green says AI tooling cut his Cloudflare bill by 10× after a 15–30% Next.js memory win

A Hank Green thread highlighted a surprisingly sharp AI-assisted efficiency win: Fable reportedly found a 15–30% memory improvement in Turbopack/Next.js, and Hank said it cut his Cloudflare bill by about 10×—though the savings were offset by a bill spike just days earlier.
He later explained that 4x3 and Smush use a worker for play stats and analytics, dumping game-completion data into an increasingly messy D1 database, while ArtemisTimeline uses R2 for storage.
