I think the days when you could just set up a company in some random country and run it from Germany are pretty over, the Finanzamt will just treat it as a domestic entity unless y…

I worry that Lukas is about to find out about the business end of the Umwandlungssteuergesetz: converting a Einzelunternehmen to a GmbH is a surprising amount of faff, and once you…

Unfortunately, the "Rapid Application Development" thing also seems to apply to the library itself: you get a new release every other week, and stuff breaks in somewhat unpredictab…
