"I think if we had one more good java/ui engineer we'd be kicking butt vs youtube."

Unfortunately, this very attitude continues to be the bane of every large company. Thinking they can throw a body on the problem can make them invincible.

Opened the link thinking the article was about how to move on from a company that's probably going to shut soon. Learned something nonetheless.

The biggest hurdle for me with these tools is CSV import - banks are so crappy with them. If only we had a universal banking API system that all these tools could tap into. "Challenger" banks like Monzo and N26 and so on could unite behind a form of OAuth for banks that would kick ass.

I'm guessing the reason these universal API's don't exist is because there would be no business model and hence no billion dollar companies. However, Europe's PSD2 regulation was essentially launched to establish these open API's for banking

Spent time on an extremely silly yet immensely satisfying project: https://what2cook.today

What2Cook Today helps you save time by recommending new meals with recipes.

This project came out of sheer frustration trying to think of new things to cook everyday during this lock down. Currently, the website covers primarily Indian meals but I will hopefully cover more cuisines in the future.

What2Cook Today is a side-project that was a week-long one built in my free time.

Appreciate any feedback to improve.
