ΙΧΘΥΣ. Had a great time with sales tax, and now I have a small project in the smb bookkeeping space.

Married w/5 kids, coach of youth sports, Software product developer, MLB Cardinals, and occasional golfer
I find myself trying to untangle an ancient nginx conf file now.

Hopefully ChatGPT and Cursor can guide me on this one

Okay my battle with Wordpress and elementor is done after launching the refresh. Now to try to find a routine with the new puppy so I can get back into the Rails bookkeeping app.

There are lots of good options other than Bench for bookkeeping. Sooo many different apps and services

I am planning to relaunch our website at Less Accounting next week. We have for years and will continue to offer affordable small business virtual bookkeeping and historical cleanup services.

I pay for both GitHub Copilot and Cursor. But I had slowly been only using Cursor. I imagine GitHub was getting jealous and is clearly offering it free because of me.

This is me. My daughters can already wrap better than I can.
It really shouldn't be possible for me to find a way to get worse at wrapping gifts every year, but I'll be damned if I don't always manage to figure it out.

Holiday shipping truths:
the first thing you order for the holidays is often the last thing to arrive and the thing you paid expedited shipping will take the same time as the standard shipping or be later

Is there a simple shared support inbox solution that is still under $20 billed monthly per agent?

Focused mostly on a strong shared inbox workflow rather than an API, widgets, or KB hosting.

@emmafletcher.bsky.social I'm consider moving my team to a new email help system. Which one do you use?

I've used Zendesk, Groove, HelpScout, Intercom, and just straight Gsuite email over the years. And just learned about Plain. I will only have 2 agents and maybe some "observers"

Decision: Update the stripe api code implementation in my app or copy-and-paste the no-code link to the customer portal that requires customer magic link login?

Copy-and-paste it is

After a recent close call with a wildfire I made sure WatchDuty notifications could come through DnD mode before going to bed under a red flag warning.

Woke up and one small fire put out and further away in Malibu there are fire evacuation orders. The dry wind is no joke around here.

The first two episodes of Skeleton Crew on Disney were a fun activity with a few of my kids. Definitely heard faint sounds of the Goonies in the soundtrack

The past few months myself and my kids spend 3 hours most Thursdays serving at a drive-thru food pantry. We give financially thru our local church, Charity:Water, Convoy of Hope, and Feeding America to name a few.

What are your favorite ways to charitably give of your time, skills, and resources?

My wife got me 12 nights of whiskey cocktails for Christmas. Each window has 2 flavored sugar cubes to muddle in water and then mix with the whiskey of your choice. Time for to try the first one.

Hey US LLC business owners are you filing your Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOI)?

I've been part of 2 already working on a third one collecting more driver license scans. Bureaucracy is fun.

Inspired by @johnnunemaker.com I did some legacy database cleanup a few weeks back.

My first pass included truncating multiples tables for an estimated 3.5 GBs of table disk space reclaimed.

Today I am tackling the next wave of truncation of another 5.5 GB of table data.

Before and after legacy Rails code.

What would you change about this Rails code that logs user activity?
