I would like to announce that we have also frozen AI hiring. Of course, we didn’t have AI or hiring in the first place. But AI hiring is now frozen.

"This project wouldn’t be possible at this scale without AI and think that is just fine, I do foresee that we might be entering in a golden age of Open Source development, and that every single dev out there with an idea is about to embark into this addictive code frenzy to see it become reality"

Good Development Habits: * Commit every time a small goal is achieved * Work incrementally in small iterations * Build persistent context * Split long files/functions/components into smaller ones * Teach the AI modern patterns * Build it and they will run them (the unit test).

"And the solution to most problems caused by an ADHD dev is just good development habits, the same ones that you should already have but that you forgot to implement because suddenly the AI goes too fast and felt that if you can “skip” coding, you could also skip on everything else."

"I have found that AI really is like a regular ADHD dev that makes mistakes, leans into assumptions, keeps repeating old patterns because that’s how it learned, gets easily sidetracked by refactors, and doesn’t know where to cut a PR so it just keeps adding to it." #AI

As you can imagine this kind of top level re-organization take time, specially when you want to keep data leaks away. We will invite you to the closed beta as soon as we can be sure your data (even just demo data) will be safe.

Of course you are always welcome to host your own instance of Tomas, teams then make even more sense. As a company could have different teams for each area.

One more thing, and this is important: We decided to organize the workspaces(a collection of accounts and transactions) around teams so that several users can add transactions, help in the planning and in general cooperate at the same time. This is also useful for billing in the case of our SaaS.

We have been silent, but worthy refactors don't happen in a day. Also the team has been hardworking on setting up the basis for quality code with a lot of unit testing both at the API Level, essential for the security of your financial data, and at the Frontend, essential for your user experience.

Hi everyone, we are releasing our development blog with a little bit of context on why we started the development for this tool. Spoiler alert: it was the recession, we might as well call it Tomás the Recession Software. Please join is in the start of this journey.

#PurrfectIdea: Add the ability to have conversations in the platform linked to transactions, this way the different users in the workspace can coordinate to take action or complete information directly in the platform. Similar to how comments work on Notion #BuildInPublic

Veo un gato le doy RT, así de simple... como de simple debería ser que si estás a punto de hacer un gasto innecesario te detengas.
