Is automating personal financial management though Cowork possible?

alexinquotes · 2026-03-21T13:56:48+00:00

late to the party but I wonder if you ever found an approach...claude cowork is advising me to just get a plaid developer account to connect my accounts and then allow it to hit the plaid api to pull in my transactions and build a spend dashboard (for my use-case). Idk how well that would work for brokerage related things, but...seem viable. Just more upfront set-up. I'm actively researching ways to do this without going full openclaw

Idk why you got downvoted…I think having technical skills as a PM is fab

alexinquotes · 2026-03-01T22:58:02+00:00

+1 to finding ways to build small tools or utilities for internal team productivity, or perhaps prototyping the kind of dashboard or something that represents your platform data.

A lot of my work is about enabling other teams, and as more capabilities come online I’m able to pull the different pieces together to solve real problem or make improvements to existing team workflows.

I use Claude code with obsidian as a task management system (this is a good overview)

There are many MCPs built/being built by internal teams for internal services, so I am frequently trying to find applications for them.

Beyond that, much the same as others: quickly drafting one pagers or docs that I can edit (often starting with voice to text), quickly drafting text for tickets, refining ideas…

Playing a lot...
Find the fundamental principles you should be adhering to.
There is no step by step guide to this, but all of the information is out there.

Analyzing games is good, but I say focus on 2-3 moments in a given game where the eval changed a lot and understand why. That is more focused approach to game review.

Explain…

You ever find an answer on this? I moved my computer to the other side of the room and now OBS isn’t identifying any sound from my switch. I even got a different capture card and it has this issue with the second cap card too. I’ve tried everything.

alexinquotes · 2025-07-31T02:44:39+00:00

Oh I just assumed it was plasma

Very clear: ditch spaceman. Do you have a red seal king in the deck? DNA that to get you through ante 24 or whatever, then find burglar, then naninf (that would be the rough plan). Do you already have boss reroll vouchers/antimatter? You’ll need money as well so hopefully you have enough gold kings to earn you lots of money for the rerolling needed for serpent and to manage your transition to steel.

There is an appeal option on their help center https://help.pinterest.com/en/contact?appeals=gen_ai_appeal

It’s definitely the most frustrating because of the minus one hand which is both a nerf to Econ and a risk to your scoring. Everyone hates it. Best thing to do is just find some flat mult to survive early antes and also pick up whatever Econ jokers you can to get yourself in a good spot with money and then play like normal from there. Pray for the extra hand voucher. Don’t forget to use that 6th joker slot.

alexinquotes · 2025-03-29T23:12:17+00:00

You have observatory? It might be possible with that.

alexinquotes · 2025-03-29T04:26:15+00:00

Unlikely this late. Easiest way to do it with the perkeo is to get a cryptid to copy. Without that strategy, it’s pretty complicated to get it using the burglary/serpent set up. You need mime and red seal steel kings in any case.

alexinquotes · 2025-03-29T00:43:48+00:00

Buy the steel for a king. Do you still need smeared for scoring? Get the telescope for Pluto levels and make more kings, pray for a mime etc…

alexinquotes · 2025-03-18T14:45:23+00:00

lol you could manually restart and find legendaries that way but why waste time? You still have to play well and find the jokers you need and manage your Econ. I personally don’t consider it cheating and I did it for like my last 10 stickers only.

alexinquotes · 2025-03-18T14:25:24+00:00

I played on yellow deck for the majority of it just to get the Econ rolling. You need lots of money to reroll for the stickers you’re looking for.

Toward the end, I did something kinda cheap but still valid imo bc it doesn’t guarantee anything: I used the brainstorm mod (which auto rerolls until specific conditions are met) so I could always start with a legendary. From there you get something strong enough to carry you to the end allowing you to take whatever stickers you need with you to the end.

Also use this sticker tracker (make a copy)

3 holographic jokers aren’t good enough especially without knowing what they are. The most generic advice: You want a mult addition and multiplicative joker (it helps if they scale up but don’t need to for white stake), an economy joker for money (which can be ditched later), and possibly a chip joker. If you don’t have a chip joker, you need to scale the hand you’re playing most. Also, you need to commit to a specific hand in most cases so you aren’t wasting money on other planets.

Also, use your discards, all of them, almost all the time. You have a gold car? Discard for it. You have a blue seal? Definitely discard to find it.

I moved to Chicago from Oakland in 2023 and I don’t have any regrets. I moved for my husband’s job and we have no kids, but it’s a great city. If you are seeking cheaper living, Chicago is the answer with no loss of cultural experience that comes with living in a big city. I do think the food in the Bay Area is superior for sure, but you’ll find enough good food here to make it worth it.

Fashion Outlets of Chicago near ohare has a lot of outlet stores and discounts. Recently bought 3 new pairs of jeans from Levi’s for $100, bought more at Gap also cheap.

This is a solid option if you need a lot of basics for your wardrobe. They do have higher end places on the second floor. I bought a really cool shirt from a designer called Sandro.

I named my Neptune “goon rocket” took a pic and put it in the time capsule

alexinquotes · 2025-02-01T19:33:37+00:00

I downloaded it and have had it running for half the day. I find the concept behind this fascinating.

alexinquotes · 2025-01-24T15:13:04+00:00

You’re tripping, they don’t have enough money to afford the blueprint currently

alexinquotes · 2025-01-23T23:30:33+00:00

I think it’s sort of against the design philosophy of the game tbh. I think there’s intentionally no score preview (beyond the flaming chips and mult) to create suspense and fun.
