Totally agree! My goal also wasn't to avoid paying taxes. I just would like to have a fully digital and less bureaucratic system for it. But well, I guess I have to wait until Germany finally gets that.
I still live in (and don't plan to change it) in Germany. So I guess the whole thing doesn't really work for me. The goal of the whole operation would have been to make bureaucracy easier, but that doesn't seem to work. So ... it's a no do, unfortunately.
Thanks for chiming in and also many many thanks for the great blog post :)
Yes, I came to the same conclusion. It's a nice construct, but not for EU residents like me. So I guess I'll go for a german UG/GmbH or cancel the whole project at all.
Thank you! Yes, that's why I'm looking for a simpler and less bureaucratic alternative. I'm totally fine with general accounting and taxes. But I would be happy if there was an alternative somewhere where you don't have to go to a notary for every little change and don't necessarily need a tax advisor because you have to talk to five different tax offices. Germany really makes it more complicated than it needs to be.

Hey there,I'm currently considering opening an Estonian e-business for a small SaaS project. As somebody from Germany, establishing a company is a bit tedious and bureaucratic. Now I've come across the Estonian e-residency program and the option to run a business there. I don't care so much about the tax implications, but more about the bureaucracy aspect. It all sounds quite good. But...
I have high hopes on that one!
My main use case would be when I'm not working from my desk but in a coworking space or from a hotel or something like that. But if it works really well, i could also see myself replace the monitor at home completely.

Hello HN community,
The various reviews of the Apple Vision Pro have sent me down a rabbit hole on YouTube and reddit regarding other options for replacing my external monitor for the Mac for coding by any type of headset.
It seems, that the most promising options are either meta quest 3 with the immersed app or xreal air2. But it's not very clear to me if any of those two options works that...
Good music: spotify algorithm.
Good movies: somewhat unsolved problem for me. Mostly coverage in traditional news formats, movie industry awards, friends, imdb.

I've lost track of the options lately. Can anyone point me to the best local only GPT option (like github copilot) on Apple silicon Macs? I don't want to share my code with github or any other entity, but would like to try one of those AIs.

There are many open sourced versions of SaaS products (like gitlab <-> github, plausible <-> google analytics). What is a SaaS solution that you would like to see an open source version for?

I'm thinking of switching my focus from backend programming to DevOps. I know Ansible and docker quite well, debian based linuxes, too. I assume, that I would have to learn about the whole Kubernetes ecosystem? What else are you being booked for?
Thanks!
depends on what you want to do and which languages you already know.
