Now get to a situation where VAT is diversified per line item and you have to split VAT proportionately for each VAT-category to calculate the proper VAT for the shipping costs.

You get the idea.

What about adding a cash discount and recalculating VAT after the client paid, to match the actual incoming amount

VAT calculations are tricky, when trying to provide mechanisms to deal with many scenarios. Think of: including or excluding VAT, unified VAT per invoice or diversified VAT per line item. That’s the start.

Another week of squeezing out some bugs. It takes a lot of time and grit to develop the last few percent of any project.

Now fix Liquid Glass by allowing users to get rid of it altogether.

If you can’t see anything positive about Liquid Glass, you’re out of luck with 26.3 as well. For example: if you ”Reduce transparency” under β€œAccessibility”, wallpaper backgrounds set to color or gradient flips to deep black, or even an image.

Next question is: how to navigate the current state, while exploring new opportunities? I firmly believe that each developer first has to develop himself (at whatever pace) before he can develop anything of value.

I was asking Claude.ai to name taboo topics around ai. This one came up, along with other topics.

A lot of AI in UX is essentially performance β€” companies adding AI not to solve real problems but to look innovative. Teams bend their roadmaps around β€œhow do we make it feel AI-powered?” instead of asking β€œdoes this help our users do their job better?”

Claude Talk with Claude, an AI assistant from Anthropic

I have a project to create an index for a magazine. Someone did it in a Word-file. Two years ago I tried to create a #FileMaker database from it, using BBedit and FileMaker. It took me forever. Yesterday I redid the work using Claude.ai, and have a far better first result. Now finetuning.

Fleissarbeit: Aktuelle LΓΆsungen auseinander nehmen, Bugfixes machen, Inkonsistenzen suchen und beheben. Es geht nicht um Fehler, die falschen Ergebnissen fΓΌhren, sondern etwa um Hilfstexte, die nicht korrekt verknΓΌpft waren. Also Dinge, die in der Hitze des Gefechts gerne untergehen.
