This is not as simple as it sounds. Just yesterday I had a call with the Delft university of technology in Netherland, they want me to add some features on the free version of my FOSS product [1] but they did not want to pay anything. Over the last month, I was in contact with a 800B publicly traded company for a 1.8k per year invoice, once we agreed on the general direction they kept adding expectations, first was t…
You're too cheap. Anyone that won't pay for a proper enterprise support contract you should tell to pound sand. You'll be surprised that when you start charging more people will actually take you more seriously and will be more inclined to sign up. It's counter intuitive from your side, but perception is reality. A 20k/yr enterprise support agreement is more believable to provide results than a 2k/yr deal.

> The second half of that also sounds unhinged. Since Hacker News also centers on entrepreneurship: I know quite some entrepreneurs in Germany who think this way about the bureacratic chicanery that companies have to handle, and already thought about whether hiring a hitman for these politicians would be a good idea. The hate for the political caste in Germany among many people is insane.
One should hire an accountant to handle the bureaucracy, and of course charge enough to make that viable. And you should stop airing your murderous dreams in public, that's disturbed no matter your feelings towards politicians.

Well not every country is Germany. Dunno what to tell you there. The second half of that also sounds unhinged.
Developers want to develop, not play around with taxes. Most sensible choice in my country is hiring an accountant to do those taxes. It is quite affordable (you pay monthly fee)
Sure, hire an accountant. Either way, charge the companies and stop doing free work. This isn't rocket science.

> But the company wants a proper invoice. And not every single developer is interested in founding a Limited and getting the tax office breathing down their neck every year. I feel like it shouldn't be poor form to say on this site - a site that predominantly has been about building tech companies and revenue streams - to get over it and charge them .

>"hey, can I do this?"
Same goes with a law-person. Then if you're lazy you'll just look at how much they cost you in some timeframe and add that to the price, and find that you've lowballed so hard you'll get laughed out of the bidding

They’ll know because in the US and abroad the banks send the balances and transactions to the IRS. I get letters every year/6 months that I’m subject to additional withholding because they haven’t gotten any $$ but they show I have.
AFAIK only transactions over $10k are reported, maybe different between personal and business accounts?
I liked the humble, “lessons learned” tone of the post. > every feature you add is a feature you maintain forever. This. Keeping a framework/app/SDK “pure” is very important, in my experience.

I don’t understand. It’s your project, you do what you want and nothing more.
Yesterday I received this message from a random github user: "Seriously. No SSO at all in free version? This is poor. Very very greedy and poor" [1] If you do not spend a lot of time explaining things at length, people will link back to how much an asshole you are.

I'd at least make sure the cert is up to date.
> someone opens an issue: "how do i install this?" Honestly, this is a GitHub thing. You wouldn't get that issue on sourcehut, bitbucket or self hosted. GitHub is the lowest common denominator for users.
You’re telling me all I have to do to stop all the noob questions is to switch off of GitHub?
