Software Bonkers: How I Built My Perfect Accounting Tool in Five Days

Software Bonkers

I recently built TaxBot2000, a custom accounting tool tailored to my complex financial life, in just five days using Claude Code. This experience proves that model-assisted programming allows even non-expert coders to create powerful, local software that beats subscription SaaS. By owning my data and tools, I've transformed financial chaos into clarity, signaling a future where software is fluid, personal, and entirely under user control.
