Beginner here 👋, I'm currently picking up data modeling in F# after a long break. Work and procrastination got in the way, but I'm finally circling back to fill the gaps.

To stay on track, I've been using Claude to generate practice tasks. When I get stuck, I ask for a gentle nudge without giving away the solution, and it's been surprisingly effective. I'm currently using Sonnet 5 Medium(Free), and based on the task I just implemented, it said my work was "good," so I'll take that as a win.

The task was about modeling a Job Application pipeline. I didn't bother applying validation just yet, since I'm currently focused on getting the shape of the data right and trying to make invalid state unrepresentable.

I'd recommend giving this approach a try. It keeps things interactive without handing you the answers outright.

I created a simple debit and credit console app using the Result and Option types, along with computation expressions. So, gang... am I on the right track here? I didn't use AI at all — just based on my understanding of the concepts. What do you all think?

Next step, I'm going to try working with a database, maybe with Dapper as ORM? I don't know how it will go, but I'm sure it will be fun.

What improvements do you suggest in the above code?
