@TweetsOfSumit And how much would I spend just figuring out how to accurately reflect something like this in the bookkeeping…

[Monica Lent @monicalent]

@TyroneC__ If you're a freelancer I'm pretty sure you can deduct some of it from your income to reduce your taxes owed. But not much.

@venturetwins Exact same thing happened to me - I was having symptoms, asked ChatGPT, it told me it sounded like an allergic reaction to the go to the hospital.

A few months of testing later, and turns out I have an adult onset shellfish allergy and can never eat shrimp again 🤷🏻‍♀️

@tommoor @linear Not a bug, but there was a button in our previous tool which let you open a PR from an issue in 2 clicks. It's basically a link to GitHub with sometime query params for title w/ issue no, branch, etc, but feels like such an easy win and I can't believe no one has implemented yet.

@levelsio I literally just got home from doing my bi-annual blood test with https://t.co/bRjqr2Ooag in Berlin, and they have locations across DACH + Netherlands.

It takes like 10 mins to pop in, get a blood draw, and you have results in the app. Price is fair imo.

@Post5Alfred @lisavsworld @BenjaminHouy seems like this is a common occurrence ;)

@yongfook Curious how this works when you accept payments out-of-band. That's how we collect most of our revenue, and it would be a pretty easy way to 'fake' MRR as you're just issuing an invoice and saying "yep, this got paid elsewhere."

[Monica Lent @monicalent]

@TweetsOfSumit f** linear, and then your LP mocks look like a carbon copy of their UI...

@BenjaminHouy Do not recommend DHL Express. They lost my passport when I was trying to get it renewed, package lost in Frankfurt for months, eventually US embassy calls me asking about getting an empty envelope delivered... There's some kind of weird non-interop issue btw DHL and DHL express.

@TweetsOfSumit As soon as you're not a German (speaker) selling products to Germans in Germany, the whole thing gets a lot more complicated.

I'm not for shitting on German processes for no reason, but running a company here is an enormous hassle when you don't fit into a tidy little German box

[Monica Lent @monicalent]

@BenjaminHouy Could make them more or less interested as it's a short term gig :'D I checked and the other tax advisor I previously used is now only catering to doctors. Good luck!

[Monica Lent @monicalent]

@BenjaminHouy 60 days sounds very reasonable! Keep me posted how it goes :)

[Monica Lent @monicalent]

@BenjaminHouy Ah you're also planning to move! I'd just check how many days you need to be there to claim tax residency, as I know that's why some people skip Malta (it gets boring to spend 183 days/year on a tiny island). You could also look into Dubai w/ only 90 days/year for biz owners.

@BenjaminHouy @_lhermann I always recommend Founding Sales (https://t.co/ttyy6n6wTe) to people for this. IIRC was written by a technical founder who had to start doing sales.

[Monica Lent @monicalent]

@BenjaminHouy @linear @wobaka @NotionHQ @SLAB I would look for a CRM that has a robust API. We automate a lot of connections between our application db (source of truth) with the CRM, otherwise it's totally unfeasible to sync manually.

@TweetsOfSumit @GetMyInvoices re:cap is apparently working on one as part of their accounting suite, i am looking at trying it. https://t.co/hJfdMDgeLp

[Monica Lent @monicalent]

@TweetsOfSumit Yeah and if you pitch them 30K they'll ask for a discount of 5k ;)
