Currently using cursor. I've found cursor even without the AI features to be a more responsive VS Code. I've found the AI features to be particularly useful when I contain the blast radius to a unit of work.

If I am continuously able to break down my work into smaller pieces and build a tight testing loop, it does help me be more productive.


How do you define a unit of work for your purposes?

Crazy to see him just bury their DB provider. I wonder how many SaaS-infra providers that aim to provide a more managed infrastructure experience over AWS would share the same fate if one of their users blew up like Cursor!

At least for now the large cloud providers are effectively the best place to run workloads at scale, so all these smaller SaaS providers are probably trying to gain customers by advertising the simpler and more productive dev experience. With the lure to smaller teams not needing to understand the full blown complexity of managing infrastructure on AWS, but in-actuality the profits are probably solely driven by overcommitting compute resources on shared fleets, and clever capacity management.

I wonder if the cost of software development reduces, which side of the equation will give out first. Will there be more new software developers, so managed experience providers like Yugabyte will have a bigger target market thus continuing to grow, or will dev tools get so good that smaller teams will directly be able to use AWS and bypass the UX benefits some of these SaaS companies provide.


I know this is a fast evolving space, but I'd love to learn more about what exactly is possible here. The API doesn't seem to be very well documented.


Checked out the readme and the screenshots and this looks quite polished.

I didn't see anyway to connect with my bank accounts and pull this information. Would you be open to adding an integration like this? Maybe through Stripe financial connections, or the Plaid APIs?


Once third party integrations like those come into play, I feel that this may become less “simple” and more of a full time job for the maintainer.

(Tools with integrations like these are generally incredibly useful though, they tend to be paid and would need to run as a service)


thank you! glad you like it! currently the intent is to be a simple and fast expense tracker, so there are no plans to integrate banks and auto-combing transactions.


How about a CSV import? My banks all have an option to export transactions to a CSV file. You would need an import tool to create the mapping though.


I suppose you could parse csv file yourself and the api with curl? No need to add this feature in the app.


yes, this is the intended way for now


Imagine your kid not getting invited to birthday parties because they or you don't use an iPhone. Apple knows what it's doing and shareholders are gonna love it!

What does this mean for folks like me who buy Vanguard ETFs through Robinhood.

The Vanguard UI / UX is absolutely terrible. Opening the website instantly transports me to 2002.


I see several people complaining about this in this thread. Are you talking about their old interface or the new one they released a couple years ago? I find their new one to be decent. It's a little complicated sometimes, but I think it's hard to build a site that allows you to do so many things without being a little complicated.


The fees will be the same regardless of where you buy Vanguard funds.


Here's the simple question - who gets fired when the deliverables aren't met?

This is the single greatest motivators for American companies in our exhausting capitalistic society.


I work in big tech in the US. In my usual daily life, I get to meet extremely intelligent and successful people from India. Ex-founders, Executives, engineers that have built large parts of the software we take for granted - each and every one of them maintains that every time they have to apply for a visa as an Indian passport holder, it's an absolutely humbling experience.

This is the burden we carry.


That is absurd. In Seattle, I pay $70 for 1 Gbps.


They just did.
