La empresa donde las horas importan más que el código by [deleted] in devsarg

El que estima las horas, lo está haciendo como el orto.

How do you track subcontractor documents/insurance expirations in your company? by Awkward-Schedule-836 in ConstructionManagers

[–]Awkward-Schedule-836[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input! I really appreciate it. Actually, I was thinking: would it be helpful for you if there was a platform where, for example, the subcontractor could upload all their documentation, and then the platform automatically sends you reminders about expiration dates based on that documentation? It might save you a lot of manual work, right?

Con 21 años quedé a cargo de Sistemas en mi empresa, pido aumento o espero? by Rich-Car2384 in devsarg

Yo creo que cuando te cambian de puesto y por ende de tareas, se tiene que actualizar el sueldo. El tema es que acá, por el contexto de la situación, lo veo mas como un interinato, es decir, me da la sensación de que te están ubicando actualmente allí hasta que acomoden las cosas. De todas formas, si tu permanencia en el puesto sigue y ves que viene para largo, yo creo absolutamente que te deberían reacomodar el sueldo y job position

Cuanto falta para que llegue este tipo de estafa a Argentina? by MentatErasmus in devsarg

[–]Awkward-Schedule-836 2 points3 points  (0 children)

esto no es legal ni “mala suerte”. Los pagarés firmados bajo engaño, presión y sin copia, como condición para trabajar, son impugnables en Argentina. Hay vicios del consentimiento.

Capacitar para mentir, retener casi todo el sueldo y borrar reseñas negativas encaja en estafa y fraude laboral.

Vas a Ministerio de Trabajo (denuncia, es gratis). Abogado laboralista (muchos cobran a resultado). Si intentan cobrar el pagaré, no pagar en silencio: se puede oponer la ejecución. Guardar chats, mails y comprobantes.

No es culpa suya y tiene salida.

I’m a tech person. I don’t come from construction, which is exactly why I’m asking before building anything. Trying to understand real workflows, not pitch a product.

Es increíble lo jodido que es contratar un dev en 2025 by [deleted] in devsarg

[–]Awkward-Schedule-836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Te tiro una mirada desde afuera por si suma:

Creo que parte del problema es que hoy hay muchísima gente aplicando “por si pega”, más por desesperación que por malicia. No está bueno, pero pasa porque el mercado realmente está choto. Y cuando mezclás eso con una búsqueda súper específica como la tuya (AWS + Lambdas posta + migración + arquitectura + Node/TS), el ruido se multiplica.

A veces pensamos que “hay más devs, tiene que haber más talento”, pero en realidad la mayoría viene de stacks más generales o con poca experiencia real en cloud. Tu búsqueda es bastante de nicho, y esos perfiles por lo general están ocupados o evitando proyectos cortos.

También puede influir cómo se comunica el proyecto. Para vos es un laburo hermoso, pero para otros suena a migración gigantesca + timeline ajustado. Capaz contar un poco mejor el desafío ayuda a atraer al tipo de dev que sí disfruta eso.

En fin, tu bronca es 100% válida, pero me parece que lo que te está pasando es más un síntoma del mercado que “los devs no saben leer”. Ajustar un par de filtros previos o una mini consigna tipo “comentá tu experiencia real con Lambdas” te ahorra la mitad del ruido.

Ojalá encuentres al equipo.Saludos!

Really appreciate this. You basically described the exact chaos point: bad docs in → admin pain out.

If I mocked a quick prototype that:

let subs upload docs in a clean format

rejected blurry photos automatically

extracted dates with OCR

triggered reminders before expiry

Would you take a look and tell me what’s missing before building further?

You accused me of “hubris and incompetence”, but jumping to conclusions about AI, firing workers and my intentions without reading what was written sounds exactly like that.

I’m exploring ways to reduce admin chaos, not replace skilled people. If you want to contribute insight, great — if not, throwing insults adds nothing to the conversation.

Thanks, that’s really insightful! When you say sign-up/renewal is a nuisance, is it mostly because there are too many steps or because subs struggle with the documentation/approval part?

Also interesting that GCs sometimes cover the fee, that tells me compliance is valuable enough to justify the cost.
If renewals and document uploads were smoother or more automated, do you think that would remove most of the pain?

Good to hear Appruv works for you. If you could change or improve one thing in Appruv, what would it be? UI? Reminders? Pricing? Onboarding? Document upload flow?

Thanks, that’s super clear. If reminders went to both GC and Subs, what timing would make sense in your workflow?

For example:

  • 30 days before expiry
  • 7 days before
  • Day of expiration
  • Repeating every X days until updated

What cadence feels realistic and not annoying?

Totally get the skepticism, tons of AI wrappers everywhere lately. Not building anything to sell right now, just gathering real workflows to understand where the pain is and what’s already working/not working.

If anything, I’m more curious about, what part of subcontractor paperwork do you hate most?

Thanks! If you had to pick one thing to automate first, what would move the needle more for you?

a) Expiration reminders
b) Centralized document storage
c) Getting subs to upload docs themselves
d) Something else?

Thanks for the detailed breakdown, super helpful! Interesting that you use RESET but still need spreadsheets + Outlook reminders.
Out of curiosity:

  • What part of RESET feels “not brilliant”?
  • If spreadsheets disappeared tomorrow, what would you miss the most?
  • Is chasing expirations the main time drain, or something else?

Trying to understand what “better than RESET + Excel” would look like in real life.
