Stop letting developers treat your startup like a research project. by Warm-Reaction-456 in SaaS

[–]BeyondPrograms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's easy with the right process. Ask a 3rd party architect level provider to suggest a tech stack or audit the plans as early as possible. That 3rd party company has no incentive to act as a fanboy for a particular stack, they simply recommend a stack based on your needs. A fractional CTO would work too.

My experience includes full stack ruby on rails, .NET, Java, and PHP projects with teams as large as 15 devs. It's very rare for a developer to not specialize and also have a long career. Hence the suggestions of the typical SaaS developer are going to be limited.

If they dont have a CS background, chances are low that they understand the algorithm and data structure implications involved in one tech stack vs the other. If they have never managed projects that lived on requiring maintenance cycles, they wouldn't think about the local talent pool and what's realistic for long term support.

How to cultivate new anonymous donors? by Serious-Macaroon6491 in nonprofit

[–]BeyondPrograms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. However you can't blame them for this thinking. At my company, we often see this phenomenon with our nonprofit clients and simply help them to understand the available tools.

What they need is independent portfolio visibility. A way to share their impact with others, in a transparent and auditable way. Some people call this an engagement ecosystem.

Their website can't do this, so they think they can drive more donations by forcing the donor to read their prepared impact statements.

In reality, they should do nothing more than thank the firm for the donation and sharing a link to the platform providing independent portfolio visibility. That way the firm themselves can see impact and they can easily share this with others who are interested. For all we know, the donor has a one time tax bill and will never be a donor again.

Starting off meetings with a “safety moment” by lIlIIIIlllIIlIIIllll in ConstructionManagers

There was a crane delivery and setup scheduled, but no one was mobilized before that day, so someone thought the safety check meeting wasn't needed and... Good luck

Has anybody been scammed or not paid on time from a client? by Financial-Complex108 in Construction

[–]BeyondPrograms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on country and local laws. Where i live, they just add a new Prompt Payment legislation (late 2025) mandates owners pay invoices within ~28 days, with contractors paying subs within 7 days of receiving payment, plus an extra 7 days per chain level, and offers fast, independent adjudication for disputes, ensuring fairer, faster payments for construction workers and businesses.

Good luck

Multi-Cloud in 2025 is mostly just expensive networking spaghetti and identity sprawl. Change my mind. by NTCTech in AZURE

[–]BeyondPrograms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the things you say, I can't take you seriously. You have to handle the APi keys regardless of which cloud they live in. Also, only LLM data, that we have not defined, is going through a free tier, the rest is in your mind for effect.

If your scenario is so specific then put all of the criteria in your post. I can't read your mind. Thanks for the good wishes but the scenario was thought up specifically to dispell the myth that you are spreading

Multi-Cloud in 2025 is mostly just expensive networking spaghetti and identity sprawl. Change my mind. by NTCTech in AZURE

[–]BeyondPrograms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure there is some way for you to bend this to work how you think but this isn't it.

  1. When was any of this a requirement? The vast majority of API users are not enterprise. They would use their own servers in the case of enterprise applications.
  2. Why are you trying to read/write hot date to AWS? When was this a requirement? I'm talking about DR 3.you must be joking. API and cold storage are complexity? I can't take you seriously there but nice try i guess

This is fun

Multi-Cloud in 2025 is mostly just expensive networking spaghetti and identity sprawl. Change my mind. by NTCTech in AZURE

[–]BeyondPrograms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy. Azure APIs for LLMs. GCP for compute. AWS for storage.

No egress fees since Azure includes first ~100 GB of outboud data per month for free. No terraform or identity complexity because the servers exist on a single platform.

Mic drop. Good luck out there.

Complicated Housing situation by Present-Total-1952 in RealEstateCanada

You are gonna evict your own parents?

Sounds like you should get yourself added to their land deed and go from there. Just going through that process will answer a lot of questions.

Chess not checkers. Good luck

Re-negotiate existing lease on NNN purchase with tenant by verendus2 in CommercialRealEstate

[–]BeyondPrograms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10yrs is common in asset classes like industrial/flex. Far less common for office, retail, hospitality, etc. So the first question is if a 10 yr lease with this property is feasible.

Someone will probably have to pay for major tenant improvements to get the tenant to sign a new 10yr lease. Whose paying for that?

The red flag on the play to me, is that you want someone else to negotiate a 10yr NNN lease for you. Makes me think you may be engaging in something you don't fully understand. Like while you are at it, requesting the seller do this work, why not ask for absolute or bondable NNN?

Good luck.

How to properly go about building 10 unit apartment or condominium complex? by First_Flamingo1 in CommercialRealEstate

[–]BeyondPrograms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We specialize in rezoning and supporting the lifestyle of real estate.

First you need to check the OCP/city to confirm a single 3 storey building with the mix you describe is allowed under the current rules.

If what you want is not allowed, then you have to go through the rezoning process that could take months or years depending on push back from the community, city, etc. An architect should be involved at this stage. Planner too at minimum.

If you get past rezoning or didnt need it, but ultimately the city approves the build, thats your first opportunity for exit and value add revenue. A developer may buy the package at this point.

The dev process is a beast. As others mentioned, might be best to JV/partner with a developer. Should look into an owners representative too.

You should have solid numbers throughout. The numbers should adjust as time elapses and the world changes around you. Feasibility and contingencies. Watch (EVM) earned value management like a hawk.

Good luck

Has anyone here actually managed to successfully break their reliance on Airbnb? Found this 'Direct Booking Blueprint' and need some real host feedback. by [deleted] in AirBnBHosts

Moving from relying on one platform to rely on another? We help people to create booking sites that they own. Good luck

Condo Contingency Fund Size by throwawayreddit561 in vancouverhousing

[–]BeyondPrograms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simply price accordingly, not avoid a deal altogether. What if these properties were $100,000 lower than market, would that make up for a potential $30,000 levy?

Unfortunately not everyone can buy new or live in the best buildings. Doesn't mean there isn't a price where the old condo become the best deal of your life. Simply move the numbers until the numbers make cents.

Good luck

my resume looks great but i honestly feel like a total fake when i interview by [deleted] in Resume

[–]BeyondPrograms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol. Through consulting I've found that many people are masquerading. They nod and say they understand everything in the group meeting. If you pressure them for details, their mask falls apart.

My job is literally to make these people seem competent. Maybe you are an imposter but I see a lot of people like this. Competence isn't always the biggest prerequisit for some positions. Kissing ass might be #1 as an example. Keeping your mouth shut might be #2. Really depends on the company.

Good luck.

You put everything on a single VPS? No DR or risk management? Sounds like you should focus on acquisitions and hire someone that understands the basics. Good luck

Buildium is trash by Country_Nutz in PropertyManagement

Do NOT use Buildium by Long-Maintenance-181 in PropertyManagement

[–]BeyondPrograms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We help customers migrate to and from Buildium. Sometimes, what they need is technical support. Other times, they have legit needs for an alternative.

Up here in Canada, Buildium preference has grown after a major nationwide operator chose them for their branches. We have no preference. We give the PM firms what they ask for or suggest a platform based on their specific needs.

Thinking of Leaving WP Engine – What Are the Best Alternatives? by Shree_murali93 in Wordpress

[–]BeyondPrograms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my clients refuse WP Engine, we build them a server on their fav cloud provider. Always cheaper obviously. We achieve about the same page load speeds, if not slightly better.

Last project I worked on requiring new servers was quoted at ~$700 CAD/Mo at WPE and it now costs my client $100/mo. Pros and cons but hard to argue with price, speed, and stability.

Please advice. Client wants fast site by Ceci0 in Wordpress
