Why HN links it

Commenters link Griffin's blog for its "Is It Worth It?" post on whether an automation is worth the effort, and one used it as inspiration for a small GUI tool. Griffin is also mentioned as a banking company in a Clojure thread.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Welcome to the platform for your next financial product or service. The bank you can build on.

  5. I was inspired after reading "Is it worth it?" (2021; Allen Rohner) which was linked here a few days ago. I had Claude whip up a simple GUI to interact with the formula and published the artefact. Original Blog Post ( https://griffin.com/blog/is-it-worth-it )
