I build iPhone apps. I write about: - haptics - why some apps feel expensive and others don’t - where AI fits in mobile (and where it doesn’t) - the small stuff that makes software feel good Follow along for more.

Money isn't the end goal. Freedom is. Money is just a necessary tool to get there. What's your end goal?

@codew_rhp Check out plaid.com. They’d let you automatically pull users’ transactions if they log in with their bank. And they sync so you stay up to date.

@benlsage Thankyou Ben. I am not aware of plaid. Can you explain what is plaid?

@SusieBBPDM Yeah makes sense

@benlsage My point that AI isn't capable of writing well designed, defensive, maintainable code. That takes humans. So either the humans write code with AI assistance, or the humans bug fix the AI's prototypes and spaghetti code.

At this point if AI writes 95% of code, who even survives in tech?

@iraftopo Awesome. How does it gather context on your proj?

@benlsage Even it's Monday now... here you go! Rankquest.app

@codew_rhp Love it. Any way you could connect to plaid so I don’t have to upload PDFs?

@benlsage Built an AI credit card manager in public — statement PDF upload auto-extracts all transactions via Gemini. Looking for feedback. card-vault-pink.vercel.app
