Exactly. The PH docs make a big deal about having a video demo, too. Then they go ahead and hand-pick launches to feature that don't even meet that criterion. And for what?

Thanks! Pro-Duck Hunt. It's right there, not sure how they missed it.

Hmm, DCA is one I think about a lot. Probably pretty easy to convert this research over: https://investor.vanguard.com/investor-resources-education/n... The result won't be super surprising, but it'll be more

I have a whole rant about this saved for a future blog post. The short version is that people need actionable belief. Charts are useful to demonstrate a concept, but at the end of the day, we want answers. I'm sure there's _someon

Haha, spent many hours on the Bogleheads wiki, and I do love it. But yeah, I'd love it even more if it had fields I could punch values into. If only there was some sort of site for that...

Thanks! Yeah, far-flung plans for integrations. Currently I'm getting way more mileage out of letting other products do the integrations for me. I.e., I use Monarch Money and just upload the screenshots to FinFam which parses out the b

Haha, re: finances, everyone wants to know this! Give or take, yeah! I just felt obligated to go all in with the dogfooding. It's probably TMI for most folks, but other users don't have to do the same: https://finfam.a

Relatable. While I doubt I'd have been able to do all the frontend myself without an agent, it's still pretty early for LLMs + money. It depends on where you're starting a thread, but assuming you're starting the thread

Haha, glad you like it! So, originally this was a B2B concept for a friend who was starting an advisory. Original model was around referrals, and advisor client funnels. That might still have a place, but tbd. The B2C version you're lo

Certainly useful for authoring, since that's what I do most now as a founder. Most of my code is pretty fresh. While I can give you some feedback, I probably wouldn't pay more than a couple bucks a month. Meanwhile the larger, old

We're long overdue for tools like this. Especially with the (commendable) rise in code review. The downside of code review with large codebases is that I'd get pulled into parts of the codebase which my team ostensibly owned, but

Huge, congrats. Render's been the best Heroku successor a dev could ask for. Looking forward to Cloud Object Storage in 2025! https://feedback.render.com/features/p/cloud-object-storage

Took some convincing, but compliance is a pretty high-leverage angle. :)

People like bigger numbers and newer releases regardless of exact versioning scheme. SemVer makes that situation worse, by requiring a bigger major release to break some part of the API. Other failure modes detailed here: https:/&#x2F

I was only asking why you say it comes crashing down, when the link cites multiple cases of successful parallel version maintenance with a version that is at least partially calendar-based. As far as usability, time is a dimension no develo

You're quite right, and this site is being migrated this week. I was going to do it this morning, but there was a traffic spike for some reason? :)

Why? The version number is determined by the original release date, and after that it's just a normal version number. Pretty sure the Teradata library linked does basically that. Python's manylinux standard is another example. The

Good to know! It seemed to meet the criteria here: http://sedimental.org/awesome_python_applications.html I'm curious if the userbase is overstated, but otherwise it seems to be well-known enough ;)
