Stop writing Excel like it's assembly
I suck at excel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nbkaYsR94c I would write the equivalent of: /* Tax rate */ var b1 = 50%; /* Salary */ var b2 = 120000; var b3 = b1 * b2; When excel lets you write: var tax_rate = 50%; var salary = 120000; var b3 = tax_rate * salary; I just didn't know any better.

After having been a regular employee for years, I worked as a freelancer for a while. Going into my freelancing life I had no real mental model for how much of the money I earned was truly mine to spend, and how much of it I needed to set aside for taxes, vacations, retirement, and in case I got sick. I modelled this in Excel as best I could and was quite surprised both by how complicated it was to get right, and how much money I actually needed to set aside! As my girlfriend also started freelancing last year, I decided to turn my Excel sheet into a little program she could use too, and in…

A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly.
