• Is $250 a month in disposable income livable for a family of 3?

  You'll be going into a tight budget time, so get a really good system in place. If you don't have that you love already, I recommend YNAB (youneedabudget.com). It's envelope based and is really good for planning ahead for irregular expenses and for "rolling with the punches" if something comes up. It works differently than traditional monthly budget, so take time to use all the resources to learn the system. ... Source: about 1 year ago

• LPT Request: What is your favorite life hack that has saved you money, time, or made your day-to-day activities easier?

  I also said in a comment below, I use YNAB to track my financial life. This strategy only works if you have enough confidence in your finances to know that if I gave you a card with 100k credit limit, you would never spend more on it than what you have in your bank and has been budgeted for. If not, I cannot overstate how important it is to get your budget in order beforehand. There’s zero money saved if you pay... Source: about 1 year ago

• Fund future vacations

  If you aren’t already giving every dollar you make a job, earning more money will only get you so far. Check out YNAB, read all the free content about learning to plan and budget. Source: about 1 year ago

• Tracking savings goals

  Track it by hand or in software. I started out with just a spreadsheet, but since then moved my whole budget to YNAB (youneedabudget.com), where you track all your individual savings goals as well as how your money will be used to cover regular (and irregular) expenses. Now the whole plan is in one place, and covers everything from how much is set aside for gardening supplies for this summer to the big... Source: about 1 year ago

• My grandfather passed away and left me 25k. I have next to no savings and I owe money on a couple credit cards and a car. Almost 40, how do I maximize this?

  Aside from all the other advice, get a subscription to YNAB (youneedabudget.com) and start using it religiously. It will help prevent any backsliding and will put you in a much better financial situation going forward. Source: about 1 year ago

• We built the fastest CI in the world. It failed

  I'm having a very similar issue getting https://brisktest.com/ out there. People complain about things like the speed of their build system, but convincing people that your CI system is faster just seems like an uphill battle. Maybe the era of launching new indie dev tools to developers is over and you just need a massive marketing budget to bombard devs with advertising and lots of sponsored content. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• New CI/CD tool focused on speed

  Hi everyone, I'm Sean I'm the creator of Brisk a new CI/CD tool. I'd love to share a little bit about it with the community and get any feedback you might have. Source: 12 months ago

• No one cares about Bun's speed. Your CI does though

  Paul, if you are interested in speeding up your tests for either Bun or Jest you might be interested in checking out my latest project. At Brisk we keep pre-built workers for your project in our infrastructure so there is no build time that eats in to your test time. This also means there isn't as much of a concurrency penalty that you get with traditional CI services (scaling up to 30 workers only to spend 30... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Launch HN: Moonrepo (YC W23) – Open-source build system

  We've had a lot of success with Brisk (https://brisktest.com/) doing this exact thing. It keeps our environment running so we don't have to rebuild on every run, kind of like a dev build. It's really fast. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Act: Run your GitHub Actions locally

  Super interesting you mention “local first CI”. Have a look at Brisk https://brisktest.com/ (I’m the author). It’s designed to work “locally” pre-commit, giving you super fast tests, but then when you push you can also use it in your CI/CD pipeline. We achieve the speed with massive concurrency and pre-built environments, it was built as a drop in replacement for your local test runner. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
