That is something increasingly happening to people without traditional IT background’s using AI assisted coding. They are now able to create and run their own products. Don’t get me wrong here, i strongly believe thats an awesome situation and chance, but brings loads of responsibility with it. I added a new service to my company portfolio to support these. As this is a hot topic, i got an unexpected amount of traffic and inquiries. https://secure-vibe-coding.de/
Thanks a lot for being open and sharing. You are not alone, and wearing multiple hats is something all one-person companies have in common. The key points that work for me are:
- Having a close circle of friends with similar lifestyles/journeys. trustful, open exchanges are invaluable, in both directions.
- Being clear on your business's purpose, means understand why you started it and what compromises you're willing to make.
- Setting clear goals for both business development and personal life in order to maintain clarity in both areas is essential for balance and progress.
As I'm in a similar situation and work with startup/scale-up folks, I've created a toolset aimed at addressing the business aspects of these struggles. It seems to solve these types of challenges for the people I work with: https://startup-business-cockpit.de/en.index.html.
Check it out, and if any guidance is needed, feel free to DM me.
Awesome writeup, i did a similar years ago. One important thing you missed is VBG Berufsgenossenschaft. Mandatory to register within 10 days after the notary. Even as a one person Gmbh you need to register there. Running costs: https://www.on-promise.cloud/en/compendium/01-how-much-does-...
With all these different writeups from so many people I am just left with one big question: Why is the not such a government curated list or guidance on these topics?
I love these types of projects. It is not rocket science, nor anyhow complicated to solve and from security standpoint way better than any off the shelf solution. Think about it: you grant access to a random company, with people working there you do not know, security standards out of your control, and if they decide to change the product you simply have to deal with it.
