Yep. For some of the larger projects that I've worked on, I've gotten into the habit of adding folder level READMEs. I don't know if anyone else has benefited from them, but I certainly have myself when I need to remind mysel

In my experience, watching videos (YouTube, Twitch, etc.) for longer than a few minutes frequently causes Firefox to overload my CPU and bring my entire system to a crawl. That is the only major issue I have with Firefox. I still use it as

Very cool. Using email notifications to get transaction data is a nice hack. If you do find yourself wanting a more formal API, check out Plaid ( https://plaid.com/ ). I've never used it myself, but I believe the free pl
