@ponnappa I know this is an unpopular opinion but is cognition really that important now? At work I have found Sol and Opus regularly outperform my critical thinking in minutes. Has made me default to framing the task well & then handing over reasoning to AI

Or you can just connect via plaid to have a continuous dashboard

A very fun exercise is to export all your bank accounts (as CSV) both personal and business and stock broker

And dump it all into Claude Code and ask it to make a little dashboard showing your spending

It's hard to know how much you actually spend over lots of accounts so this can help you understand that

You'll spend some time merging transactions (like company names change or their statement label changes), and categorizing, you can just do this by talking to Claude Code btw very easy, I also hooked it up to @xai Grok so it can use that to categorize mass transactions (very cheap)

The best part isn't the dashboard it makes but that once you have all the data collected, you can ask Claude Code lots of questions directly about your finances and learn stuff, like I learned:
- I was paying for some subscriptions for 2 years I forgot about ($$$)
- My US stocks charge me withholding tax (30%) on dividends, which I knew but never realized how much $$$ it was (which is why non-US citizens should buy UCITS ETFs not US stocks!)
- My pool remodeling was ridiculously expensive compared to the rest of the home remodeling and we got fleeced hard (that's life!), then the pool company caused a €9000 water leak that they won't pay (funny)
- I spent $400K on domains over the years, I should probably stop spending money on them, it's an addiction @marckohlbrugge gave me and it's way more than my gf's shopping
- My biggest monthly cost by far is AI at about $24K/month in GPU costs for Photo AI, but that's just how it is, I already got the cheapest rates possible, AI is pricey!
- My 2nd biggest cost is taxes, who would have thought???
- Travel is quite expensive, flying business class, getting nice hotels and regularly traveling adds up a lot!
- My business costs without AI (!) are extremely low, about $5K/month on revenue which is about 98% profit margin (!), with AI it goes up to $28K/mo or about 86% profit margin (still good!)
- Lawyers become quite an expense in this part of my life, you buy a house you pay a lawyer and notary, you register trademarks for your business you pay a lawyer, but they're a great thing to spend money on I think because they protect you from losing much more money than they cost!
- I started spending much more money since 2022 because of AI costs but also making much more money because of AI, so it's good
- My spending has remained remarkably consistent as a percentage of my net worth at "just" 5%/year, which is close to FIRE which is always my goal (don't spend over 3%/year of your net worth), in my case it's different cause I actually have company income, so it's more of a fun goal to be responsible with my money
- Around 2024 my life definitely switched from barely spending money and living as a digital nomad to buying a house and spending on that a lot, I knew a house was a money pit, but it's also a nice money pit and it helps me sleep better (great AC and bedroom), live healthier (home gym), and work better (coworking), so it's worth it
- I barely have any personal subscriptions except Netflix, YouTube and Spotify, I asked it to built a "Recurring subscriptions" box too so I can see what subs I have and cancel them

Try it!

@championswimmer No paradox, this is manager to doer ratio. More the doers, more the things that get done. It reflects that processes are streamlined and less management is needed.

The map of what India can't yet build, and who's building it, is filling in fast.

Where it stands:
-5,100+ capabilities tracked
-450+ fully researched pages
1,580+ builders
-across 18 sectors.

This week alone: 180 new pages, 640+ builders, 70+ reader-flagged gaps.

A slice of the hard ones that went up this week:
• Harmonic drives (strain-wave gears)
• Silicon photonics & co-packaged optics
• Gallium production
• Industrial-grade MCUs for robotics & drones
• Real-time industrial fieldbus (EtherCAT/PROFINET)
• Aircraft-carrier arresting gear
• Next-generation marine propulsion
• Warp knitting machines
• Onboard perception for autonomous machines
• AI-driven small-molecule & peptide drug discovery

And a few of the builders climbing them:
Ati Motors · Minus Zero · https://t.co/HZJzuzGz26 · Cron AI · Boltzmann · Sensa Core - alongside hundreds more, from LMW to Hetero Drugs.

the paradox of nyc is that you can only live there if you have a good job that lets you make money, but you can only truly enjoy the city to its fullest if you are a little unemployed
