Wouldn't this be trivially solvable by git bisecting your deploy branch?

I figure whenever windows support lands will be a good time to give it a shot again.

- Ultimately, I ran into some bugs with things in the standard library. There's still a lot of warts and a lot of vague error messages. Hopefully this has improved since I last touched it.

- No windows support. Much of my hobbyist time is spent dabbling with gamedev so it always felt like eventually this would be a dealbreaker.

- I found it hard to grasp some of the type grammar. Mixing the looseness of Ruby syntax with strict typing can sometimes result in weird ergonomics.

That said, I think if/when it matures further I plan on going back to it. Macros were really cool and at the end of the day I just really like working in ruby style languages. The community was also super helpful on Discord.

The steps, as far as I can tell, look something like this:

1) Sign up for Plaid developer account

2) Request developer access (without it you can only play with sandbox data)

3) Request production access

4) Submit application information including a name, website URL, and logo

5) Add a legal company entity name and address to my plaid account

6) Sign an MSA contract (no idea what its about)

7) Fill out a security questionnaire.

I'm at step 3 currently but I'm not sure how much further I'm realistically going to get. I'm not sure I could reasonably fill the rest without stretching the truth quite a bit and it seems to get deep into legal territory that I'm not sure I'm comfortable with.

There's also apparently different API behaviors depending on the bank: https://plaid.com/docs/link/oauth/#institution-specific-beha...

I don't have a lot of hope that this is going to pan out. I'm considering just scraping Chase with a headless puppeteer script instead.

It's possible that this may be simpler for other banks though, I've only tried Chase since that's my primary bank.

The gamification aspect was really good for me to get off the couch and actually do something but now that I have good habits going I naturally enjoy the extra walk/yard work/gym workout. I don't really pay that much attention to my daily goals anymore, but if I look down and it's 4 PM and I see that I'm a bit short on today's exercise goal, I might consider taking the dog for a second walk or making an unplanned trip to the gym. It's not the end of the world if I don't make it, but it's pretty cool when the month ends and I get the "you hit your exercise goal every day for august" notification.

DHH said:

> very few programmers are typically interested in having their opinion on typing changed. Most programmers find themselves drawn strongly to typing or not quite early in their career, and then spend the rest of it rationalizing The Correct Choice to themselves and others.

IME, my story doesn't seem to be that unique among typescript advocates thus I do not relate to DHH's statement.

I dabbled occasionally with typed languages, but it wasn't until Typescript was forced upon me by a respected coworker that I was able to recognize type safety as a net-win for development speed. Seeing an entire class of problems disappear in a codebase rife with them was an eye opening experience.

I briefly took a ruby job a little over a year ago and I missed type safety quickly. Despite how much I love Ruby, I love tracing through code paths to understand what a variable is a lot less.

I already explained this in the original comment?

But in hindsight I'm extremely thankful for the limitation. A computer stops being a social channel when it's offline so the hours I spent offline were pretty crucial for me to learn a variety of things - from learning how to code to creating art.

It also really did force me to go outside and learn about the world that way.

When they are blind to something that you can plainly see is a net-negative for their life it seems like it would be much harder to not intervene.

I'm not speaking as someone who has lived this but I have observed a close family member who very much has the relationships and parenting style you're describing and I've watched this parent go through incredibly challenging situation after situation as her kids have grown into teenagehood (covid really did a number on kids coming of age). It's not that her kids are bad either, a tad naive perhaps, but genuinely good kids.
