  1. To be clear, #ActualBudget was REALLY getting good when I left - felt like jumping ship right as it hit its stride

    They've added custom reports with Excel-style formulas, a burndown chart, and the UI keeps improving. Genuinely great #opensource budgeting software

    But as a #SoftwareEngineer, the scriptability of #beancount is a huge win. I can pipe data through #fzf for fuzzy account selection, write #Python scripts that understand my finances, and build weird custom tools that would be impossible in a GUI app

    Sometimes you just need to "grep" your money

  2. Made the switch from #ActualBudget to #beancount for my personal finances

    The ecosystem is nice
    - #fava, #beangulp for imports, #beanahead for recurring transactions, #favaCustomDashboards for charts, and #favaInvestor for portfolio tracking

    Also went overboard with custom stuff:
    - PDF importers with #ML payee/account prediction
    - Custom linters for validation
    - Forked #favaEnvelope for envelope budgeting
    - #Makefile with 28 targets for price fetching to #FIRE calcs

    #plainTextAccounting is great when you can just write #Python to solve your edge cases

  7. 'Aprovecho' fava beans relaxing in a Rhizobium bath. They're in the ground now so the waiting begins — 110 days, so sometime in early July. #garden #gardening #vegetables #fava #FavaBeans #allotment

  8. Fava Bean (Vicia faba) in the garden. We typically plant this over the winter as a cover crop, to improve the soil, and to pair with liver and a nice Chianti #garden #gardening #beans #fava #favabeans #flowers
