Building Software People Actually Use.

Some of you might say, this is not profitable.

But did you consider that he will be leaving a great testimonial, refer us to his friends and come back to us?

Playing the long game always worked for us. So why stop.

[Wavect.eth @Wavect_eth]

Our model is simple: We over-deliver or we refund you. Example:

We just had a client who paid us 10k$ for a UI overhaul of their product.

What we did instead:

- We went with him through 4 UI iterations since he had very high expectations on UX and changed course a few times.

[Wavect.eth @Wavect_eth]

- We fixed tons of bugs, did proper Quality Assurance (aka testing) and made sure the product is actually usable.

Vibe coders don't want to believe this:

It usually costs less to build Software right to begin with instead of hacking/vibing it together and fixing the mess afterwards.

The real solution to building software faster & cheaper is the same as 20 years ago:

Narrow the damn scope, by focusing on an URGENT PAIN and leaving everything for a potential v2 once customer feedback flows in.

This way you save tons of money on development while having a strong foundation you can scale with, and all that without sacrificing quality, security and reliability.

PS: We build software the right way. Software people actually keep using.

[Kevin Riedl @kevinriedl_eth]

You have to make a Choice when building Software.

A Choice between

(1) Scope
(2) Cost
(3) Time
(4) Quality

Focusing on one will negatively influence some others.

Building software for little cost almost always results in either Smaller Scope or Lower Quality.

Focusing on Software Quality will usually force you to either keep your Scope tight, take much more time or/and to spend more.

Trying to go to market as fast as possible almost always increases the likelihood of bugs & vulnerabilities, might be more expensive as more resources are needed and usually forces you to prioritise features.

Choose wisely.

[Kevin Riedl @kevinriedl_eth]

Finding a Pain Point is *not* enough to build something people want.

You need to find the Right Pain Point, for the Right People (aka "Ideal Customer Profile").

You find Problem-Solution-Fit once you know WHO cares about WHAT pain. Choose the biggest pain you actually can reasonably solve.

One way to do this is by testing different communication angles through Social Media or Paid Advertising using Waitlists.

I usually suggest selling your idea as a service first & then productise. But for Enterprise or Exited Founders the Waitlist approach can also be very appealing because it saves time.

Dear Founders, You Need to Know the Difference between Developers and Engineers.

A Software Developer in its simplest form executes on tasks such as tickets or bug reports.

A Software Engineer is a bit more strategic, usually focused more on the long-term aspects as well and trying to find a good trade-off between resources and technical challenges.

Both are important. But understand when you need what.

This week, I trained in a traditional karate dojo in Okinawa, the birthplace of karate.

One thing struck me deeply: how repetition and structure are treated not as constraints, but as paths to freedom.

In karate, we practice kata:
precise, repeatable sequences of movement.

Every strike, block, and stance is done the same way, hundreds of times. It looks rigid from the outside.

But inside that structure, something transforms.
You stop thinking about the steps.
Your body learns rhythm, balance, and flow.
Discipline turns into instinct.

It reminded me of how we build software.
At first, our rituals: standups, code reviews, tests, design systems can feel repetitive or bureaucratic.

But those are our kata.
They’re how teams internalize quality, intuition, and craft.
They free our minds to focus on creativity, not chaos.

Mastery doesn’t come from skipping the basics.
It comes from doing the basics so well that they disappear, leaving only flow.

Whether in the dojo or the codebase, the principle is the same:
Repetition isn’t the opposite of creativity. It’s the foundation of it.

[Kevin Riedl @kevinriedl_eth]

I've been having interesting conversations with CTOs lately, and there's a pattern that keeps coming up.

Their CEO sees someone build an AI prototype in a day and wonders why it takes the engineering team a month to ship something similar to production.

This is classic iceberg territory.

What the CEO sees is that gleaming tip above water, the slick interface, the demo that works perfectly when everything goes right. But what the CTO knows is there's this massive structure beneath the surface that actually keeps the thing afloat.

Think about how a product actually evolves. You start with a prototype basically just proving the core idea works. It's the happy path, nothing more. Then you build an MVP, which means adding all the unglamorous stuff: error handling, security, making sure it doesn't break when users do unexpected things.

By the time you're looking for product-market fit, you're dealing with better UI, GDPR compliance, and features that actual customers need.

And if you're lucky enough to get traction? Now you're talking enterprise features, internationalisation, serious scaling challenges, and compliance acronyms that multiply like rabbits: ISO, SOC2, HIPAA.

Each stage probably doubles or triples the complexity. It's like building in reverse, every new piece you add makes the next piece harder to place without toppling everything.

AI tools are fantastic at generating that initial prototype. Sometimes they can knock out 100% of it. But turning that into production code that hundreds of thousands of users can depend on? That's still very much human work.

So if you're a CEO reading this, maybe it's worth keeping that in mind. The prototype is the easy part. The real engineering is everything underneath that keeps it from sinking.

We're a software agency that teaches kids to code for free.

It's become one of our favorite projects.

There's something magical about watching a kid's face when their code runs for the first time. That moment when the screen does exactly what they told it to do? Pure joy.

We've built the craziest things over the years, but that "IT WORKS!" shriek from an 11-year-old hits different.

What started as "let's give back to the community" has become something bigger.

These kids ask questions that cut straight through the complexity:

"Why can't I just tell the computer what I want?" Fair point, programming is the art of translation between computers and humans.

Teaching forces us to explain our craft in plain language. No hiding behind technical jargon.

If you can't explain a concept to a curious 12-year-old, do you really understand it yourself? (Spoiler: sometimes we realize we don't, and that's okay.)

We're not creating mini-developers. We're showing kids that technology isn't magic, it's a tool they can learn to use. In a world increasingly run by algorithms and AI, understanding code is like having a superpower.

The future needs people who aren't intimidated by technology. We're just doing our small part, one "Hello World" at a time.

Let’s be honest, you’ve either said this or heard a version of it:
“𝙒𝙚’𝙡𝙡 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙑𝙋 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧.”

Translation:
➡️ No real user interviews
➡️ No signal from the market
➡️ Just hope, hype, and maybe a Figma prototype

And then the team ships.
And nothing happens.
No usage, no feedback, no traction - just a slow, silent slide into irrelevance.

Here’s the hard truth most dev agencies won’t tell you:
You don’t need developers.

You need proof that what you’re building solves an urgent problem for someone who will actually pay for it.

Without that, every sprint is just expensive guesswork.

At Wavect GmbH, we’re not just developers.
We’re your product-market fit co-pilot.
We help you validate your idea while we build it.

So by the time you launch, you’ve already got users leaning in, not disappearing after trying your app once.

What we do differently:
(1) Identify real customer pain before writing code
(2) Build lean, testable versions of your product
(3) Help you get signal fast
(4) Adjust the roadmap based on evidence, not opinions(!)

If you’re about to build (or rebuild), let’s talk first.
No fluff.
No vague frameworks.
Just practical strategy + world-class execution.

🎯 Book a free call, we’ll help you build something people actually want.

Most Web3 CMOs are just meme managers.

Not @catdaly.

She’s marketing invisible infrastructure
and doing it so well, people actually understand it.

@spaceandtime isn’t just another blockchain buzzword machine.

They’re solving a problem even top-tier devs 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 doesn’t exist:

🧠 Verifiable, decentralized data for smart contracts and AI agents.

Now tell me how the hell do you 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 that?

Answer: You build a category.
You speak to devs like they’re founders.

And you stop trying to make “Web3 for everyone” a thing.

I sat down with Caroline to unpack:

* Why most crypto marketing flops
* How to sell infra without selling out
* And what actually moves the needle for dev-first GTM in 2025

Founders building deep tech?
Infra PMs lost in the hype cycle?
CMOs tired of chasing engagement instead of traction?

Your QA process is why you’re shipping slow. Not your tech stack.

This week, a startup called @spurtest_ raised $4.5M to let AI agents autonomously test your website, like real users would.

No test scripts.
No flaky coverage.
No junior devs grinding through regression checklists.

Just pure, intelligent bug hunting.
And honestly?

We love it.
Because it confirms what we already know from running QA for fast-moving software teams:

> QA isn’t a blocker.
> It’s the force multiplier that lets your team move fast without breaking everything.

Here’s the real insight no one wants to hear:
🧠 If you’re still doing QA like it’s 2015: manual, reactive, siloed, you’re already behind.
💸 Most bugs aren’t expensive because they exist.
They’re expensive because they get caught too late.

At Wavect GmbH, we offer QA services at €750/week (first week is 75% off with QA2025), but here’s the thing:

We’re not standing still either.
We’re actively tracking what Spur’s doing because if AI can catch more bugs, earlier, and cheaper…

We want that baked into what we deliver.

Our clients don’t hire us to maintain checklists.
They hire us to raise the quality bar and accelerate product velocity.

So yeah, Spur is onto something.
And if you’re still blaming bugs on “a messy codebase,”

Maybe it’s time to rethink your test strategy.

PS: We're rooting for you @anushkanijhawn and @sneha8sivakumar!
