A lot of people have too much car for their needs. Big Child Car Seat is definitely driving some of the growth of vehicles, as is quite reasonably priced gas, but I feel most people could go smaller/used and afford what they actually NEED vs WANT.

I’d like to see some good captioning glasses become available for my poor father in law who’s gone deaf as heck. Doesn’t seem like a terribly difficult feat of engineering.

>60 or 70% of Americans polled*

I certainly don't want it and nobody I know that actually understands the real cost does either. Every single nation that provides socialized healthcare is hopelessly strained by its cost, and the service has suffered as a result. The system relies on eithe dramatic reductions in the cost of healthcare or a positive birthrate to sustain it.

Nobody I know in socialized healthcare systems has good things to say about it when they actually need it.

Could say the same thing about interstate highways or the military though

But what i am saying is like what if i showed the director that i can do the work that a team has taken months/years to do. And is still failing to do. Seems like best way to proceed is just put my head down which sucks and makes me want to leave

Well if you put your head down you’re doing what a good junior does which is just sharpen your technical skills and learn best practices cs anti patterns. You can have some good war stories in your future interviews.

The way to effect this change is to psy-op your teammates/bosses into thinking they came up with it.

I can renew Sapphire for a year grandfathered at the same rate, so I think I’ll wait that out, but afterwards I think it’s the Venture X.

Just get me into the lounge please.

Sure but where to?

Raleigh Durham triangle is low COL with a lot of lower case t tech jobs. And doesn’t seem to be in the crosshairs of the government.
JojoFatsani commented on Ask HN: Would you use a chat-based money tracker?    · Posted by u/chetansorted

That’s a great point — I totally get that typing out expenses on a touchscreen every time isn’t realistic for most people. The core idea behind what I’m building is that it’s voice-first. You just open the app, tap the mic, and say something like “Spent 250 on chai” or “Paid 12,000 for rent yesterday.” It uses GPT on the backend to parse that and log it.

The goal is to make it feel as effortless as sending a quick voice note.

That said, I love your idea of having a quick-access number pad + category buttons as an alternative. Could be great for when you’re in a rush or want to log multiple expenses fast.

And yeah, syncing with banks would be ideal, but pretty tough to pull off across all providers — especially here in India. A TSV/CSV import option sounds like a solid workaround for now. Definitely noting that.

Really appreciate your input — this kind of feedback is exactly what I need at this stage.

Nobody’s gonna dictate all their financial transactions into an app. Why not use something like Plaid, like the mature companies in this space (rocket money, mint, empower etc)

It’s a real indictment of the whole industry if so.

8 years in industry.. chances are you are not even 30. You’re not even a quarter of the way thru your career. Give it some more time. Ask your friends (the ones who didn’t fall bass backwards into wealth via a lucky break like nvidia) what they did to put themselves into these positions. Then stop making excuses and do it.
