You can create a German UG online if you have an eID. That's currently the best way for small commercial projects in Germany.

I think you're spot on. They're hiring as much as possible to make numbers look better ("we're growing so fast!") and later on blame AI for layoffs ("we're way more efficient with AI now!"). That's the play in almost all VC funded companies. If you want to stay there, try to shift to a position that decides about the product and has a lot domain specific knowledge. Start looking for an enterprise job if stability is important for you.

Yes! Coding is just one of the tasks you've got to do when building a software business. You also have to find a good value preposition, identify a good channel to your customers, manage your resources etc.

Channels are becoming even more important as software has become easy to copy. But copycats always existed. When it wasn't created by AI, it was created in low wage countries.

There are CEO affect studies. Seems like the CEO effect on company performance is about 11.5%, see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S104898432...

In my opinion, a lot of strategic work can be automated - and results would actually be better. Why? Because the strategic management agent would most likely follow a scientific process and make small bets instead of investing millions in initiatives without having a clear signal.

What you cannot automate is the human contact. Trust between humans. Enlighting the fire that burns inside you inside others. CEOs aren't necessarily the best strategic thinkers but they're very good in dealing with people and they are high-agency people.

These rules don't apply to businesses that make less than 2.000.000€ a year and have less than 10 employees and don't create physical products.

What a cool project with local processing! Will check it out, thanks!

Yes. Still one of the best batteries included web frameworks for creating anything that's more of a website (e.g. E-Commerce) than a web app (e.g. Photoshop). No, you don't need NextJs and friends for everything ;)

Funny how every blog article is literally the same. Shady.

I don't think vision is the ultimate API. It wasn't with "traditional" RPA and it won't with more advanced AI-RPA. It's inefficient. If you want something to be used by a bot, write an interface for a bot. I'd make an exception for end2end testing.

Looks nice, like excalidraw fine tuned for wireframes. However, I'm on Linux so I'm not able to use the app.

This feels like a marketing video to lure young people into the startup world, promising big returns. The truth still is that about 7 out of 10 startups fail. Yes, new technologies create opportunities but it's still hard to leverage that into success. It's not like everyone creating a LLM wrapper is becoming rich. For that, you need a superior business model setup, like great (pre-) existing (marketing) channels.
