I recently rebuilt my spreadsheet that tracks our monthly outgoings. It calculates your emergency savings, and checks if your spending fits the 50/30/20 rule. Categories mirror Monzo's, so you can cross-reference against your actual spending.
Sounds useful? Clone it here:

LLMs have some really incredible use cases. They can be assistive technologies, help with mental load, and allow you to focus more on the present than an endless stream of tasks or your phone.Annie Sexton
anniesexton.comCrappy morning. I find LLMs really beneficial in certain areas of my life, but a lot of people think AI use of any kind is the devil. While this is irritating, what frustrates me more is knowing the real problem is the companies trying to shove this crap up every orifice of our lives.
I'm so tired.8

I used to let slightly wrong Slack answers go without correction and assume a human reading the thread will be able to parse it out as a simple mistake.
But now I make explicit corrections because it’s likely a bot will strip that response out of context as an authoritative answer for someone else.1
