Makes me feel even more determined not to fuck up my own economic stability with dumb decisions.21 Jun 2026 17:57 +0000at://did:plc:dxbmien5xsrkov5yhywgc4zu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mosx2viik22yhttps://blacksky.community/profile/stevanfreeborn.com/post/3moo2f4pn322hThis was a lot of fun. I stayed up too late to make the code fix actually work, but here it is. I think honestly the most difficult part of building stuff like this is just figuring out what the hell the code analysis APIs are. Did a lot of looking at the code of other existing analyzers.

Right now it is heralded as a panacea of opportunity and growth.

I think I was most shocked by the personal savings rate decline and the rise in 401k withdrawals. I think we are definitely heading for a period of turbulence in the economy. These stats make me think that period could be compounded by a population short on cash. https://stevenrattner.com/2026/06/americans-finances-under-stress/09 Jun 2026 16:03 +0000at://did:plc:dxbmien5xsrkov5yhywgc4zu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnul4jvx6k22https://blacksky.community/profile/stevanfreeborn.com/post/3mnswjg7hak2iMy wife bought us a couch today for our basement. It was $900 dollars. According to my wealth multiplier that makes it a $14,000 couch. Framing purchases like that really makes you stop and answer the question "is this really worth it?"
