Bkper.com has a new face and there are a million goodies on the way! One of the most significant things is that we brought the knowledge center back into the house! And, behind the scene everything is agent consumable! 🚀

@European_DGI @fiscal_ai IBKR UX and security experience sucks!

@fiscal_ai I’m very impressed with their performance. He will finally have to do something with the UX if he really wants to live long, because the 30% growth without seems a pipe dream.

Analyst: “Account growth is still very strong, north of 30%... Any specifics on how long you can keep this up?” Thomas Peterffy, IBKR Chairman: “As long as I shall live.” $IBKR

@jasonfried I'm experiencing the gap these days... The user is interested in controlling the input, and getting to a report he filters... The are not at all interested that an agent can build this in an afternoon! Now, the answer is, "I don't control what your agent does"

A bespoke software revolution? I don't buy it. It'll exist. It already exists. Small consultants and big consulting firms have made custom software for years. It almost always sucks. It’s bloated, confusing, and because the client pays, it’s built wrong in all the ways. Who’s excited about bespoke software? Software makers! Of course they're excited about building bespoke software — that's what they do. X is full of them. Your feed is full of people who love making software talking about making software. Of course they’re excited about the revolution. Echo, echo, echo... Most people don’t like computers. Nobody in tech wants to say that out loud. People tolerate computers. They use them because they have to. Given the choice, most would rather not think about them at all. So when someone suggests that AI means everyone will build their own custom tools, ask who "everyone" is. The three-person accounting firm drowning in client paperwork? They want the paperwork gone, not a new system to maintain. The regional logistics company with 40 trucks? They want the routes optimized, not Joe spouting off about this new system he’s been messing around with. The law firm billing 70-hour weeks? They want leverage on their time, not a software project to design. They don’t hate technology. But building and maintaining their own critical systems isn’t their wheelhouse, regardless of how much faster and easier it’s become. It's another job on top of the job. Will these people use AI? Absolutely, for all sorts of things. Will some outliers go deep and build real custom systems? Sure, but they're almost always people who already had some pull toward software. The curiosity was already there. They were dabblers before. Giving everyone access to software building tools doesn't mean everyone becomes a builder. A powerful excavator doesn't turn a homeowner into a contractor. Most people just want the hole dug by someone else. They don’t want the responsibility either.

@YouTube please turn off this auto dub 🙏 Also block channels is another feature... Please please please let me block the crab we don't want our lives... Content is getting worse and worse!!!

We are ending traditional support and will offer a discord community channel for communication with us and with other bkpers. discord.com/invite/kJMNcV8…

Like M. says if you give a guitar to someone on the corner of the street you will hear bad music... Now if you give the same guitar to @MarkKnopfler than you'll hear great music. The same goes for AI agents you can only get out of it as much as you understand of it.

@LoganGrafTax Which model and what kind of setting like, research and ultrathink can result in different outcomes..

Just asked ChatGPT & Claude about an accounting question. Claude was wrong :)

I am a remote team member, but this week we worked together, really good!

@LoganGrafTax with clients build what is actually needed at a fraction of todays software costs.

@LoganGrafTax I don't see it as replacing, Thinking more in enhancing! Finding new ways to work with clients, less friction, more understanding, higher accuracy & timing. We also believe in liberty of software constraints, where a CPA together 👇

Why are accountants targeted so hard when it comes to AI replacing us? 😭

Agents don't need support. @intercom

@JimKittridge ejholmes.github.io/2026/02/28/mcp…

@JimKittridge I just crafted the vid, so it is a bit long and raw, just speed it up to see a simple outcome. github.com/bkper/bkper-cli

Who's building a better version of Quickbooks that leans into AI? Bonus if it can handle multiple entities and properties.

So many exciting things are happening. It truly is amazing, pity so few understand it. I guess the knowledge, understanding, and wealth gap will only keep growing!

2026.... AI is going to change the world.... 2026.... Credit Cards still expire, causing 10% ~ 30% churn...

@money_cruncher Disgusting policy!

Dutch house recently passed a 36% capital gains tax on unrealized gains. So if your $100k in stocks grow to $200k by the end of the tax year, you will owe the government $36k. Don’t have $36k? Sell your stocks. Wild policy…

@NancyMToberman @bsuecannon @ajthecpa1226 I suspect this is a little bit different... maybe it is not going to affect you, but in general it might affect the sector... e.g. big companies are eager to change their labor cost for cheap AI...

@bsuecannon @ajthecpa1226 I'm old enough to remember how computers were going to make us obsolete too.
