  • I’m an accountant.

    The best accounting software will be the one your accountant uses.

    When clients are on the same platform that I use internally everything just matches up and it’s beautiful and elegant and amazing.

    When clients are using something else it just doesn’t fit our workflows and it’s just more of a fuck around, which of course the client gets charged for.












  • I don’t think it’s really a big deal ?

    We’re all playing around with things in the same domain. Does it really matter if someone is paid and someone else isn’t?

    I don’t necessarily agree that a paid / qualified person will necessarily be operating at a higher level just generally than a hobbyist. Professionals tend to know lots about very specific things, hobbyists tend to invest a lot more time and effort into building elegant solutions.

    Yes some answers from IT professionals may be unhelpful for hobbyists but that’s just part of interacting with other people.





  • Mind if I ask what you are basing this on?

    The overton window.

    If the political opinions are reduced to a spectum running from left to right, then in a two party system the major parties will sit immediately to either side of the mid-way point, because they want to seduce as many swing voters as possible from the other side.

    As in, the conservative party may have conservative dreams but their policies need to be far enough to the left to actually win an election, so they will push up against the progressive party.

    If suddenly more voters vote progressive (the conservative party loses badly), the conservative party needs to adjust their policy settings further to the left.

    As the conservative party’s policies move to the left, the progressive party will start losing voters to them unless they also move further to the left.
