Most companies have more data than they know what to do with. The problem isn’t access—it’s that the data lives in different systems, speaks different languages, and rarely connects in a meaningful way. In this post, I’ll walk through how to bring it all together in
In part 1, we covered the basics of GitHub and how to get started. But once your scripts start pulling data, creating journal entries, or feeding reports, a new question comes up: how do you trust this in production? It’s no longer just about writing code — it’s about
Everyone is vibe coding now. We’re building scripts in Cursor. We’re building apps in Lovable. We’re connecting Claude to MCP and asking real business questions. It feels powerful — and it is. But then something happens. You write a script that pulls financial data. Someone else needs it.
If you’ve been using tools like Claude or ChatGPT, you’ve probably experienced how powerful AI becomes when it has context e.g. when you upload a file to it and ask questions about it. MCP is about taking that idea seriously — and applying it directly to systems like
When people ask me where to start learning how to code, my answer is almost always the same: SQL. Not Python. Not JavaScript. SQL. The reason is simple: with SQL, you can be productive the same day you start learning it. If you already understand tables, rows, columns, and relationships
NetSuite is one of the most powerful (and complex) systems accountants work with. Most interactions happen through the UI: saved searches, CSV imports, manual entries. But one of the reasons virtually everything integrates with NetSuite is that most of its core tables and records are accessible through APIs. Once you
If you’ve ever exported a CSV, cleaned it in Excel, uploaded it somewhere else, and repeated the process every month—you already know why automation matters. APIs are how you stop doing that. In this post, we’ll cover: * What an API is (in simple terms) * How systems like
One of the biggest shifts in modern coding isn’t a new programming language or framework — it’s the rise of cloud code agents and how they change who can code and how code gets written. With tools like Cursor or Claude Code, coding is no longer about memorizing syntax.
VS Code vs Cursor, Jupyter Notebooks, and Poetry for Dependencies Introduction Most accountants live in Excel. It’s our natural habitat: rows, columns, formulas, and pivot tables everywhere. But once you start coding, the landscape looks different — editors, notebooks, dependencies, environments, and a whole new set of tools. The good
