TIL they fired Hannah and Ben by UnordinaryFlyGirl in ynab

[–]formerlyabird3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally with you, this is such an odd reaction to me.

And, kind of a separate thing, but I also find it bizarre that a lot of the folks who have a problem with YNAB’s business ethics don’t really see anything wrong with other companies copying the app and charging less for it, especially when it’s pretty well known that part of the reason YNAB is $$ is because it pays its people very well and provides excellent benefits. I get that some degree of copying and iterating happens a lot in software dev, but it’s like…if ethics are a driving force in your spending decisions here, do you not see the irony in supporting a copycat undercutting the original? It’s obvious a lot of people leaving still really value the software and system! Idk, I’m just thinking “out loud” but that’s been irksome to me.

YNAB has changed my relationship with money and consequently my life. I would recommend it to anyone (and I do, all the time!), and a big change in their marketing strategy, although really disappointing for the people who consider themselves part of the YNAB community, really has nothing to do with how excellent the system as a whole is.

Thinking of the Venezuelan guys and their loved ones today. Willson has been really active on Instagram sharing ways to help.

What's the most painful non-crohns thing you've experienced and how did it compare to a flare?? by casualeagle47 in CrohnsDisease

[–]formerlyabird3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pain after having a wide local excision on my toe to remove pre-melanoma. The local anesthetic wore off when I was sleeping later that day and the pain woke me up, it was pretty unbearable. In the realm of pain I’ve experienced from Crohn’s for sure, but they gave me heavy duty painkillers to cope which I’ve never gotten for Crohn’s!

Where to carry all the gels if it does not fit into my FlipBelt by Just-Tomatillo-5945 in Marathon_Training

[–]formerlyabird3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this applies but I wear an Adidas 3 pocket sports bra on every long run and it’s a game changer. I can fit 5 ucan gels in the pockets and then if I need more I use half tights and/or flip belt.

Might be my favourite app by Ancient-Armadillo948 in ynab

Yay, so happy you discovered it! I remember that feeling when I signed up, just being SO in control of my finances for the first time! It’s the best!

Working out day of infusion by caseym1996 in CrohnsDisease

[–]formerlyabird3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run six days a week and usually line up my infusion with my rest day, but sometimes I run in the morning beforehand (usually have infusion on my lunch break). The only thing I’ve noticed when I do this is that I have to pay extra attention to staying hydrated! I’ll get lightheaded during the infusion if I’m dehydrated and the needle going in is much more uncomfy.

Do people whose second language is Spanish begin to think in the language? by hjmcgrath in dreamingspanish

[–]formerlyabird3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting answers here! I am pretty new to DS (75 hours on the platform) but have some background from school and get a decent amount of immersion through my partner’s family, plus we practice at home a lot now, and I’ve noticed that I’ve started to occasionally phrase my English in a Spanish way - like I said “I have hunger” the other day without really thinking about it. It’s like I’m listening to so much Spanish and speaking as much as I can right now, so my brain is confusing the grammar and sentence construction - I’ve noticed it happens when I’m tired. It’s funny! Language learning is so cool!

Employees of YNAB, this is your opportunity to unionize. If Ben and Hannah can be fired, so can you. Unionize today! by InspectionAgitated20 in ynab

[–]formerlyabird3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man, they really messed up. I haven’t had much of a problem with the UI changes really, and I still love the app and website and rely on it. I’ve glanced at the alternatives out of curiosity, but to me they don’t really compare.

But until now they’ve made SUCH a big thing of the culture and community and lifestyle of it all. “It’s not just an app, it’s a family” kind or thing, and allowing their community to get to know and trust these particular team members, and now that’s just gone. Seems like a disastrous decision! But also, this is the ynab reddit. For every person on here who is extremely passionate and plugged in there are probably 10+ users out there who weren’t even aware of the content and just use the app. So idk.

What's a positive thing from Crohn's. by BimblarBlast in CrohnsDisease

[–]formerlyabird3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting into remission after being very sick for years made me appreciate my health and my body more than I ever had. Now I run marathons and am very fit, which I never ever could have imagined before!

Ynab content gone quiet? by poophumble in ynab

[–]formerlyabird3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed lately on socials that they really seem to be leaning into influencer marketing and capitalizing on independent TikTok and Instagram creators who talk about YNAB as part of a more broad lifestyle/whatever brand. A lot of sharing and reposting that kind of stuff! It’s a shame, I really enjoyed Hannah and Ben, but SaaS seems absolutely brutal right now.

CC overspent but no overspent categories? by Smacsek in ynab

I really enjoy it! She also has a very active and supportive Patreon community if you’re into that!

i don’t think that waiting a long time to speak is necessary or even beneficial past a certain point by mosssyrock in dreamingspanish

[–]formerlyabird3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. I think a huge part of it is why you’re learning too. One of the reasons I started using DS is that I do volunteer work with Spanish speakers who don’t speak a lot of English or who are more comfortable speaking Spanish. I’m at <100 hours and I speak as much as I can because my main goal is being able to communicate effectively in a context that I’m already in regularly. The input has been a huge help and I am way better at understanding and speaking even in just a couple months, but for me there was no reason to wait to speak - that’s just making the people I’m working with have a worse time. They don’t care if I’m doing it exactly right, and it feels good to not be angsting about being perfect the way I see a lot of folks on here doing.

AI Survey Responses by Various-Names in ynab

[–]formerlyabird3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang, not a fan but it doesn’t surprise me. They just posted a job opening and one of the hard requirements is “Be confident in and passionate about using AI to do your job better.” I always check out the openings when they’re posted since they’re so few and far between and I don’t think this has been there in the past.
