Same for us.
We both have our own checking and savings accounts, plus a joint checking and a joint savings one.
We each put a certain amount every month to the joint account, based on our revenue (I earn more so I contribute more).
Everything is then paid from the joint account.
For big expenses, we both decide how to spread the money in different categories.
We both have money left on our own accounts to use however we want.
I would say this works quite well for us, and allow us to plan and budget for our expenses (I mainly do it, she doesn't really care about the software, but she can access it and see how much we have for each category).
IMO if that structure is autogenerated from the API specs (like protobuf, OpenAPI, ...), it's not needed to share it. Plus you can make it evolve at the pace of each service, if your API keeps backwards compatibility.
Yes battery life is awful since day 1. I initially thought I had a faulty device or something. Apart from that the machine is great, it's really a shame.
I tried a lot of various things mentioned in the forum, updated the BIOS, tested plenty of various configurations, to no avail.
It's a bit crazy that it's been so long and it's still a major pain point for me on Linux. Apart from that, I really enjoy the machine. Not really an issue when it's plugged in at home, but annoying on the go...
Same for mine, there's even a long thread about it in Lenovo's forum (T14 gen1).
I still think 4 days is not really great compared to my previous MacBook that could sleep for weeks.
