That sucks, my fellow Italian. I haven't looked into our country since I live abroad for a long time, but I'm also paying health insurance here which is not cheap at all, and haven't added it to the post since it's not n

That is refreshing to hear. Unfortunately I can't get out because of exit tax, an unrealized capital gains tax for the privilege of leaving the country. That is way worse than what I mention in this post and will get its own post soon.

Yes indeed. We converted Freshflow into a GmbH and needless to say it was expensive.

I had already people wanting to work with me before even starting the company. Couldn't send them invoices. Most importantly: didn't speed up the process!

You get one chance at getting your company form right. Any other new chance costs a ton of money in restructuring. Software is malleable, companies are less so.

It is not complicated, it is in fact quite standard here in Germany. I explain in the post how the other options are worse.

I think the multiplier framing is right. The thing it multiplies most is not typing speed, though, it is judgment. If you know what good looks like, the tools are incredible. If you don't, they help you produce plausible wrong things f
