I live in 36 since 15 years or so. Wasn't as lucky as you :)

New comment by tymm in "How to found a company in Germany: 14 "easy" steps and lots of pain"

tymm — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 10:49:55 +0000

My primary concern with establishing a company in Germany isn't the bureaucracy—it's the unreasonable exit tax. This tax feels like a trap because it's levied on the company's valuation, not its revenue, effectively anchoring businesses to Germany. I'm curious about the preferred destinations for entrepreneurs looking to avoid this issue. Do most opt for the Netherlands or Ireland, or is there another popular choice?

This is exactly why I wouldn't want to switch from my Kinesis 360 Pro even though I prefer the low profile switches and maybe the thumb cluster from the Glove80. I just love the build quality of the Kinesis 360 Pro.

I haven't had any bluetooth connectivity issues with the 360 Pro since ZMK 3.

In terms of speed, at least when we look at mostly single-threaded work load (like most dev work is), a M2 Macbook Air is faster than every Desktop PC. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I tried to sign up on my iPhone and it didn't work.

I think this is a great idea. What are your strategies to make users to bring their friends?

Thanks, I adjusted the landing page a bit. I hope it makes the goals of the app clearer.

Really appreciate your suggestions! Some things are just hard to see from the inside.

> Also nothing should be priced at $4.99/year, I don't care what it is, if it's worth $4.99 a year then it's probably worth at least 20x that.

Would you still increase the price if the main competitor with the biggest market share is already cheaper (one-time payment of $5)?

Sorry to hear that. Did you try other platforms on which you didn't get suspended?

Did you have to tune your Google ads campaign before it worked or did it work for you from the first try?

Because I just want to finish that one feature before sharing it ;) Jokes aside, I just don't like the idea of spamming communities. I probably should do it more often though.

Were you able to make your Google ads profitable?

As a solo developer (https://simplepush.io) that hates marketing as well, I often find myself trying to make use of paid ads. Probably because it is easier to spend some money than writing a good article. However it hasn't really worked for me so far. Wondering if other solo developers had some success with paid ads?

So far my thinking is that I'll go with the 5950x since it's more or less on par with the 5900x for gaming performance but has slightly faster single core performance. Also more cores are nice for running tests.

tymm — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 17:54:00 +0000

So should I get the 5900x or the 5950x as a programmer who likes compilation-heavy languages like Scala and Haskell and that also play games?

Shameless self-promotion: I did something similar for Android called Simplepush (https://simplepush.io). However be careful: one of the features (Simplepush events) is currently not working on Android 8 or newer.
