Weird thing about building an expense tracker: you end up knowing way too much about receipt paper.
Like how thermal prints fade in 3 weeks if you leave them in a warm bag. Or that some Swiss grocery stores print the VAT breakdown in a font size that basically requires a magnifying glass.
Nobody warns you about this stuff.
I thought Germany and German bureaucracy cannot shock me anymore, but it did.
I parked my TESLA (!) on an EV-only parking spot in @Konstanz and plugged it into an EV charger. Came back to this fine. Had to use Grok to even understand what was wrong. Turns out you need to have a special EV licence or an EV sticker to indicate it is a real EV. Guess the Tesla logo and charging cable was not enough.

Why type when you can speak your mileage claim?
“Munich to Zurich yesterday, one-way, meet Joe at Swisscom.”
Expense Lens: 314 kilometres, done.
Voice > mileage form.

Bringing Lens, a @grok powered agent, to iOS with @claudeai and @theo@t3dotcodes from my iPhone.
Soon you’ll be able to ask Lens, “what impact will exchange rates have on my spending through December?”
Expense Lens just automatically tracked my ride.
I didn’t need to press a button to start, or finish.
Flawless execution and considering public release.
