I don't think the finance field needs a better bloomberg, I think the whole interface and everything needs to be rethought. Part of the moat is the data, and data access. But I think we need to completely reimagine the terminal interface and interactions with the introduction of AI. The finance industry probably will be slow to adapt, but I genuinely think someone could completely disrupt 99% of the wall street busin…
I really wish people would mention their stack when they have these curl install scripts. I'd rather use a real package manager, but I'm not totally against installing a compiled binary this way. I am, 100%, not going to install some Java/Type-script nightmare like this though. How is it resolving the dependencies? Is it installing some version of node, bun... on my machine? How's that working with other versions I h…
I really wish this was not the top comment on HN. It’s a cool project! Maybe try it??! Or just be silent!
Yeah... people aren't paying Bloomberg $31,980 per year for a TUI. They're paying for the data source... and I don't think you have Bloomberg's connections.
> They're paying for the data source Yup. If you want fixed-income data, Bloomberg is the only shop on the street data-wise. If you want other financial data, Bloomberg's fixed entry-point pricing tends to make more sense in terms of bang for buck than its competitors modular price sheets. People saying Bloomberg is just about the chat are simply embarrassing themselves. Look at the price sheets of Eikon, Factset, Ca…

I find it a bit less funny. There is this perception that what finance people do is super important and grown up but following a brief stint in the industry I realised it literally is just a game. We used to trade bits of stationery and trading cards for fun at school. They never stopped. The only difference is people who never consented to any of this are paying for it all, especially when it all goes wrong.
Why would a trader need your consent to make a trade with somebody else?

Any "TUI" you've seen in the past few years is 100% vide-coded slop.
Curious what you consider those that aren't 100% 'slop', aside from the common ones. Because I'm starting to see the word 'slop' as a synonym for: "This person may or may not have used AI to build software and I don't like it"
