I spend most of my life debugging production systems and untangling operational chaos.
Sometimes it’s good to touch grass and fly helicopters for a bit.
I’m exploring ideas for focused software tools that solve real daily problems.
What’s one frustration or repetitive task you deal with that’s annoying enough you’d genuinely pay for software to help fix or simplify?
It could be work-related, personal, creative, admin, or anything else. Reply or DM with details , I’m just gathering insights from real experiences.
Yeah basically the Dutch tax office just looks at the total value of your assets on Jan 1st, assumes you made X% return based on what type of assets they are (savings vs investments etc), then taxes you ~36% on that fictional number. Doesn't matter what you actually made. No snapshot of gains needed because they don't care what your gains were 😂
@PropFirmMatch Agree with most of these. This one’s worth nuancing though, being on the tech side, we onboard new firms regularly that are self-funded from other successful ventures. New doesn’t always mean risky, it depends on who’s behind it.

The older I get as a CTO, the more I care about boring systems.
Clear rules.
Fewer edge cases.
Less human intervention.
Flashy builds are fun.
Predictable systems win long-term.
@XLTradeTech This is also why it’s a bad idea to concentrate on customer tech solutions.
Do what you do best and sell.
Other wise you end up having to manage
Dev teams
Dev ops
Q&A
Software issues.
Leave it up to the professionals.
Building your own prop firm CRM means you’re now:
– A software company
– A QA team
– A security team
– A compliance team
– A support desk
While also trying to market, pay traders, manage risk, and not blow up.
That’s not “custom”. That’s chaos.
