15 years in IT. Solo builder from Germany 🇩🇪
I build custom software for businesses. Currently trying to reach more local clients.
Would be cool to meet other builders doing similar work. What are you working on?
@VNDTTA384675@thebagworker Ich kenn beides, hab selbst einen Gesellenbrief. Und ich seh es wie du, der ganze organisatorische Kram wird mehr und mehr von Software übernommen, mit KI-Anbindung. Die Heizung tauscht keiner per Software, das stimmt. Eingestellt wird sie aber schon per Software 😄
@WohlstandsWal Seh ich genauso. Das Bauen geht mittlerweile echt schnell, das Tool ist nicht das Problem. Die eigentliche Arbeit ist zu verstehen, was der Betrieb wirklich braucht, und es dann auf seine Abläufe anzupassen.
reading about EU Inc. founding a company online in 2 days for max 100€, no notary appointment. for germany that would be a dream. hope it survives the negotiations
codex and claude share one obsidian vault now. codex does server and security, claude does texts and demos. they kinda work together, they just dont talk to each other 😃
how do you guys split work between your agents?
@AlekVectis yeah thats pretty much how we do it 😃 the vault only keeps confirmed milestones, no live status. the actual work instructions sit in a task folder in the repo.
@OfficalKeJr Haha alle Entwickler kommen angerannt und am Ende wirds doch was Fertiges 😄 passt schon, Hauptsache deine Jungs schreiben das Material jetzt rein
Only a small part of our village got fiber. On paper we count as served, but not much arrives in the house 🙃 Thinking about Starlink. Anyone in Germany happy with it?
@BertrandDiouly I try to rest from Saturday noon to Sunday evening, but my mind is "always on". If I still have usage left, I plan a few hours of tasks and let the agent run 😄
I built a field service app for the German market.
It covers everything from the work order to the e-invoice. Technicians document on site with checklists, photos and the customer signature. The service report is ready right away and the invoice is created as a ZUGFeRD e-invoice.
It also has an MCP server. Your AI assistant can see jobs, schedules and open invoices, and prepare invoice drafts.
The app is ready, now it needs the first company that uses it. Would you look for a pilot company or sell the whole app?
@javiisthebest Thanks for your input Javi! I agree with the first week, you have to guide them through it. That is also why I would not sell it as a SaaS.
@menrva33 Hey Marco, thanks! Sure, field service software is nothing new. It always needs to be adapted to the business and their use cases. Sounds good, I will get in touch in the next days.
