tech-bro goes to europe
this is way off. in europe, tax rates depend on the country. in ireland, the first €40,000 is taxed at 20%, and anything below €17,000 is tax-free. most countries use progressive tax systems, so lower earners pay way less than 40%. taxes also fund

this 5% ownership requirement is some meme policy making. some of the most valuable angel cheques are ~€5k and what *actually* creates a founder led ecosystem.
any startup worth their salt is raising at a ~€5m+ valuation making this relief impossible.

a problem we see repeatedly at is figuring out what to ask with RAG.
i believe generative UIs solve this. imagine a daily UI grounded in all your context (rag queries, documents, emails, apps).
meaning generation moves to being an async process, and
This is what AI chat will look like in 1yr.
The days of text-in, text-out are over.
AI apps will handle on-the-fly generation of custom UIs - microapps - that are best suited to help you with your task.
Here’s a preview from Google.

y’all worry too much about building the most advanced agents.
context is the key to agents that *actually* work — and problems like connecting sources & tools, creating useful embeddings and proper storage remain unsolved.
focus on pipes. not prompts.

one issue we see with RAG is the lack of a "hook", everyone says they want to chat with their data, but in reality they don't know what to ask, or when
i find banking previous queries, running them async and sending the results as an email "report" helps a lot with engagement.

Check out Daniel's thread here if you're dabbling in validating an idea. It'll save you months and potentially thousands of euros. 💸
"Minimum Viable Products" have given so many teams a free ticket to jump into building overscoped products that solve no customer need.
Why? Because most founders don't even know what an MVP is actually for.
Here's a better approach that turns MVPs into a real gamechanger:

My least favourite part of software development is code reviews. They're not precise or efficient by default. GitHub and GitLab review comments have become glorified to-do lists.

I think a significant improvement would be to make them more interactive with things like running snippets of code, and tests straight in the browser, the ability to schedule an async review with another developer without leaving my repo, etc.

L take.
founding engineers are special. good ones have the same levels of commitment, drive and determination as the founders and you simply cannot get product lift off without some seriously cracked engineers in the early days. therefore they’re totally deserving of the title.
