    I still use YNAB 4 to this day on both the Android app and my desktop. Every couple of years the Dropbox sync stops working, but someone in the community fixes it and uploads an AP…

    If you're having a manic episode or other type of mental breakdown, I hope you get help. If this is just how you typically act, and no one has told you yet, your way of communicati…

    This is interesting, would being labelled "applied" be considered an insult to them?

    I don't want to be cynical, but maybe spending hours every day using Claude has made some of us particularly attuned to picking this up. For some reason as soon as I read "The trap…

    I wouldn't agree with that. The issue with software is that the people you make things for are usually anonymous and you'll never meet them, but if you've ever built software that …
