Money Burned CLI
Keep track of the "money burned" when attending the next pointless meeting! ;)
The “Money Burned” command line interface is a tiny tool that visualizes the money spent over time by knowing the resources used and the time elapsed. Or to put it simply: It’s like a stopwatch, except that instead of time, it’s money that’s slipping away.
Originally I designed the whole idea behind “Money Burned” for educational purposes. Based on a set of simple requirements, I wanted to give people a good understanding of how to develop software - beyond just running a simple Hello World app. One of the results is this console application, which meets the minimum requirements.
What I particularly like about it is the fact that “Money Burned” is, in a sense, a cross-purpose project: On the one hand, you have a ready-to-use tool - in this case, a CLI that runs on Linux and Windows. On the other hand, you can choose a framework of your choice, implement the requirements, and develop your own version.
Track the real cost of your next pointless meeting with a nifty CLI that burns money by the second—because if time is money, this tool is a fiery accountant!
