My one advice to anyone thinking of starting a company is: don't do it in Germany. Tax burden, insane bureaucracy and a conservative, tech adverse local market put you at a disadvantage against UK/US peers.
>German founders are incentivized to move abroad before exits
Don't do that. The tax office will treat that as a sale and will tax the current valuation at 20%.
- generating doc comments that are 99% correct
- completing boilerplate like error handling (f- you golang)
- write a "quick start" skeleton for unknown libraries and frameworks
