| Made with care for accuracy. I'm not sure how you can claim this on the footer of every page when you're vibe coding these calculators. |

| This is more than just a bad side project - it's borderline malicious. How confident is the OP that every single one of these 60 calculators work all the time, with all edge cases? Because if someone is on your website using your calculator, they are putting trust in you. If it's wrong, it could have downstream impacts on them. I hope every single one has a comprehensive set of tests with good edge cases. But realistically will they? I'm actually pretty pro-AI development. But if you're going to use AI to help develop a website, at least focus on quality rather than quantity. AI makes quantity easy, but quality is still hard. As an aside, the website doesn't even work for me. My clicks don't don anything. |

The value isn’t the interface, it’s the trust that its calculations are accurate. I can’t tell you how many meetings I had with accountants and finance people to validate all the calculations. | |

The compound interest calculator, which is their 'favorite page', already shows an incorrect value in the graph. So my faith in the other calculators isn't great. I also kinda doubt OP's story of them using that page all the time, since it took me about 20 seconds to find this issue. | | |

| Because it's better for marketing. Doesn't matter if it's true. |

| ▲ | g947o 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | This. I have so many things to say about the site, but have been withholding them in fear of "posting shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work" | | |
| ▲ | vips7L an hour ago | parent [-] | | Is it a shallow dismissal if the work doesn’t work? | | |
| ▲ | g947o 14 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Whether the dismissal is shallow is in the eye of the moderator. I have seen that before, so I am not going to touch that. |

| You can still test it for accuracy? |

| ▲ | Kapura 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | ah, the thing every person does when searching for a calculator: verify that it can actually do the math, a thing computers were historically good at from about the 1960s until within the past few years. do you understand how bad it is when you search for software and you cannot trust it to do what you ask of it? it's bad! | |
