AI Pair Programming: Navigating the Hype and Reality
TL;DR In this exploration of AI-powered development, I leveraged Aider with Claude as a pair programming assistant to build a transaction categorizer. Despite the iterative process involving occasional slowdowns and needed refinements, the collaboration yielded surprisingly robust results. By containerizing Aider and integrating the Anthropic API, I developed a sophisticated tool with capabilities that would…

Categorizing Transactions with Machine Learning and rules
In this post, I’ll demonstrate how combining rules-based systems with machine learning — specifically Random Forest — can significantly improve transaction categorization, particularly for incidental and non-recurring cases. This hybrid approach not only reduces manual efforts but also improves accuracy, helping me make better financial decisions with minimal intervention.

Making the rules part of the domain
In this blogpost I find a way to make the rules part of the domain. Next to that I develop some code so I can store them on disk. Find the resulting code at GitHub.

Not getting financial insight
TL;DR In this post I describe how I discover some imperfections in the current domain. This hampers me in getting financial insight. I fix these imperfections by creating new Category rules. After creating new rules I refactor the rules in to a simpler form. Furthermore I fix Transaction in the domain. As the found issues…

Putting the domain to work
In this post I create a way to import transactions and categorize them. Basically putting the earlier created domain to work. In the end I get some insight into my spendings, however not completely done yet. The resulting code can be found at GitHub.
