Recently, I was reading the Bits about Money series by @patio11. I like how he nerds out on this topic. It got me thinking about topics I can nerd out on. Welcome to my new blog, balanced.software about double-entry accounting and software. 🧵

Spam caller just made his point: “I saw some open source usage and thought I give you a call.” On my personal mobile number while I have a day off. They have no right to process my private number!

The GDPR has been a catastrophe for Europe. The billions of euros misspent on stupid compliance games to with loser prizes like this is tragic. A bold EU would recognize the lateness of the hour and flush it whole.

I see a different future: let AI help as much as possible. But you still need a system of record and good API connections with banks/e-commerce/tax offices/e-invoicing. Claude does my accounting, but only because we have great accounting software to support this. Value++

Tax and accountancy software and bookkeeping industry have perverse incentives to keep the tax code and bookkeeping hard so you have to keep paying a lot for their software and to hire them If they let AI just do it via their APIs, their value woudl go to $0 fast!

Bonus: its great to vibe code you invoice detection and reconciliation. But with years of experience, we already have all edge cases in our algorithms. You get 70-80% of automation for free.

Oh ffs it just hallucinated everything 😂 It never actually reconciled any expense And Xero says they'll NEVER add that via API because "ReGuLatOrY constraints" So I guess I have to go the browser way huh

Announcing fp by @fiberplane: agent-native issue tracking for Claude Code The insight: coding agents work best with focused, well-scoped tasks, but context handoff between sessions is a mess. fp gives Claude a CLI it can drive, local-first storage, and a review UI that pipes feedback directly back into your session. Issue are just markdown! Check out fp.dev

Its interesting how people say we should accept AI slop in our codebases. I see also the opposite: refactors are now easier than ever. An LLM can refactor large existing codebases in no time! More AI slop, less technical debt?

Trying to hop into the Omarchy wagon, but it reminds me very much of my previous Linux experiences. Driver issues, wifi not working, ethernet not waking up, kernel panics at boot. You can say a lot about Apple, but never had this issues with my Macbook.

Bij Moneybird bouwen we aan iets moois, maar het lukt ons nog niet altijd om onze productvisie goed te vertalen naar onze website. We zoeken iemand die dat verhaal wel weet te vertalen. Met design, inhoud en techniek. Klinkt dat als jouw rol? 👉 moneybird.homerun.co/web-dev…

Despite offering superior account protection, our experience shows that #passkeys are misunderstood. And it's their own fault. Read my reflections a year after we integrated passkeys @moneybird 🐦🔐 linkedin.com/pulse/passkeys-…
Passkeys Are Misunderstood—And It's Their Own Fault

Passkeys Are Misunderstood—And It's Their Own Fault

Reflections on a year of offering passkeys as the authentication method for cloud accounting and banking. Account security is only as effective as it is user-friendly.

Now, set daily transfer limits for yourself and colleagues. Mark trusted contacts for higher limits, so you stay in control of new suppliers while keeping things easy for existing ones. #moneybird #bookkeeping #accounting

It’s really weird to see this love for Hetzner. We started @moneybird on Hetzner servers in 2008. Moved away to other providers and the cloud. Main reason was we didn’t trust Hetzner because they were soo cheap.

Absurd traffic pricing from most of these platforms. Vercel for example is more than 100x as expensive as Hetzner 🤯

We now run on AWS and can manage our cloud spending quite well. But still keeps me wondering what our bill would be if we stuck with Hetzner from the start.

A lot of things have changed since 2008. Like Docker for dependency management. Makes a huge difference now.
