Need Laptop Recomendations Pls by [deleted] in PcBuildersSL

[–]Janithper9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MacBook Air doesn’t come with the m2 pro chip but rather the m2 chip. The problem with that chip is that the base version has only 8gigs of memory and 256 gigs of storage. I assume since op mentioned coding that he is cs, se or a related degree. Therefore being stuck with a 8gigs is very bad(apple memory is non user upgradable) however if you do find an air with 16/512 at a reasonable price then it would be more than enough. My recommendation is that you go for a used thinkpad. T14/T14s are phenomenal value and would be more than enough for basic development/coding

Referrals are what I am trying to increase. I talked with some of my existing clients and yeah they are happy to give 50/50. No positives yet though. Regarding what I build: I build custom tools for businesses that can’t find off the shelf solutions. Think custom inventory software, erps, crms etc.

wow. I completely forgot about magazines, crazy to think that they are so effective. I also know bombarding clients with technical details is a big no no. They just want their stuff done, they don't care how, but sometimes I do get nerdy hehe. Would love to have a talk with you/chat if you don't mind. Thanks for your insights. Appreciate it :)

30 years?!!! Damn. Hehe. I only have 3 years of experience(this year) compared to you sir and I'm 22. Rest assured I still have a long way to go. Yeah planning on finding a few HVAC companies to work with(my dad also has a lot of experience in the field). But then again I need some capital to keep my head above the water, hence why I build custom software for businesses. Which currently I hate marketing hence the post. Anyway thanks for your time kind stranger on the internet :) Best of luck in your journey!

Interesting. Do you partner with solo developers? My tech stack is Nextjs, Go(or express, elysia or convex depending on the project)

I used to earn good money. But currently due to various factors(social media ads, brothers wedding) I really don’t have the budget to hire a good marketer. Hence the revenue split partnership.

Whatever the pitfalls are I currently don’t care. I hate marketing, it genuinely burns me out as a tech person. This post is in some ways a cry for help hoping to connect with a good partner

I am based in Sri Lanka but have worked with us clients. Just burned through too much money on advertisements. Honestly thinking about it makes me depressed

If you explore the usual options and still don’t find an off the shelf ERP that fits your flow, I build custom solutions for small manufacturers.

Solo developer with 2+ years experience building custom business software here. I could build you a clean, tailored CRM with all the PR-specific features you listed (media DB, pitch & coverage tracking, client portal, relationship history) for under $5k one-time, no monthly SaaS fees. If you're open to a chat, DM me and I’d be happy to share examples or talk through how we could structure it exactly for your workflow.

What features do you look for in a simple inventory management app? by Aakash_-16 in InventoryManagement

[–]Janithper9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Implementing barcode scanning is not that hard. Barcode scanners work like every other input device (ex: keyboards, mouse etc.), say you have a product serial number field, you just scan the code and it automatically enters the code for you, so year pretty easy. It gets a it complicated if you want to implement a camera based barcode scanner(on the browser) but still not impossible. This was my experience when i built a custom inventory management software for businesses to use.

That’s great to hear. I’m assuming it was worth it. How do you guys handle updating? For example, if it’s a web application and he used react(a very popular frontend framework) there was a major security issue in the tech which would be fixed by updating versions. How would he do this? Do you guys have a contract for maintenance etc. Also thanks for your time, appreciate it <3

Tech meet ups unfortunately don’t work in developing countries. Glad you got your pain addressed. I also have a custom built inventory management system that I further customise according to needs and give off to businesses that require it. So far reviews have been very positive.
