Have you ever come across some code on a project and thought, “that is kind of weird but irrelevant to me right now,” and then discovered hours later that it’s the source of the bug you have been trying to fix the entire time?

Edit: it turns out there is a comment above the exact line of problematic code that says “Yes this is stupid…”

Edit again: git blame is erroneously saying that *I* did this three days ago.

I need a recommendation for a budgeting tool that makes it easy to get your transactions into it.

I currently have a Numbers spreadsheet with recurring income and expenses. But there are some estimations here and it’s not giving me a clear enough picture.

I’m totally fine with paying for services. I do it all the time. I probably overdo it. BUT…

I’m a little miffed at IFTTT. I was using a free integration for the past year. Then it suddenly quit working. Turns out they decided to charge for it now.

Look I can sympathize with trying to price a SaaS. But saying something is free then charging me after I’m relying on it isn’t cool.

Luckily it’s easily replaceable by a cron job.
