As someone coming from the Python data science / Jupyter side: holy crap this is lightning fast. Kudos! Very impressive work.

An insightful comment! Had never drawn those parallels before -- great call.


Holy crap, that Mac OS 9 one is fantastic!!!


I’ve always had a soft spot for the older Mac OS design, and I really love this implementation! I spent sooooo much time in windows and Linux doing various things to try and get that feel back


Examine.com does something similar for health related studies, and I've found it valuable in the past.


Note: I haven’t worked with PDF bank statements.

My current solution is pdfplumber → GPT-3 API. I played around with a few different options, and this is personally what’s worked best for my use cases.


Frank Howarth is an absolute gem: https://www.youtube.com/@frankmakes

I've been following his woodworking channel for 10 years — and I have no interest in woodworking myself. I've never come across someone who is 1) 99th percentile at the craft, 2) probably better at videography than the craft itself, and 3) will literally walk you through his line of thinking while including all the dumb mistakes he thought along the way.

Hikaru has a similar way of explaining high-level chess and coming off as human, but the quality of Frank's stuff is nearly unparalleled, in my opinion. It's like watching an absolute master of his craft have a beer with you and explain his 4D chess moves in an Explain Like I'm 5 years old format.

Highly, highly recommend watching him.


Additional woodworking content I have not yet seen mentioned:

Twoodfrd, he repairs guitars https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC8wIqZCt9h6uJbOBCQVuUmg

PaskMakes, woodworker https://m.youtube.com/c/PaskMakes


Thanks for the recommendations - here's a few of mine that are related:

For woodworking I am a big fan of Paul Sellers - though he is primarily a hand woodworker. His videos are very accessible.

For chess I like John Bartholemew. He's an IM, so lower in the rankings than someone like Hikaru, but has a lot of videos geared towards people looking to improve their overall game.


I like Hikaru, though I find GothamChess easier to watch, and more to my level. Also helps he is absolutely excellent in maintaining viewer attention. He is an excellent story teller.


Interesting read! Crazy that it was basically 3x increase/decrease in productive hours. Wouldn't try this myself, but found it interesting nonetheless @sberens.


Huge fan of Streamlit — I've used it a ton at work — and HTMX + Django is my preferred method for building larger sites. Cool work!


I was similarly going to recommend HTMX — think the ease-of-use and beginner-friendliness is exactly what OP is looking for. (The Rails comment mentioning Turbo is basically the same thing as HTMX, so feels like a few of us are in agreement.)


Garry Tan has the best career advice: https://twitter.com/garrytan/status/1377661970178973696

    My best career advice: at every job you should either learn or earn. 
    Either is fine. Both is best. But if it's neither, quit.
My suggestions would be focusing on a few cosmetic things:

- Update your resume (you can get inspiration from Dribbble).

- Update your personal site to look nice.

- Update your GitHub account to have a few repos.

These are mostly cosmetic, but that seems to be the problem you’re having right now: getting your foot in the door to interview for positions.

Earn or learn. If you’re not doing either, it’s time to move on.
