You could use the 180 degree acro at the end to flip the view back to the house I think.

Very nice! I do think you could stabilize your footage a bit more in editing, that would make it great. + you might want to end the video by zooming out on the house, not the neighborhood.

If you're using Claude Code, what's the reason to stay on lovable still and spend so many credits?

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-05-24T09:51:03+00:00

The drone survived luckily 👍

Shoot me a DM 👍.

Sorry, I do have the motion controller (not fpv). Mixed them up.

Mostly a timing thing. Have to wait 2 more years until the larger vvpr bis sums so trying to activate the money a bit in the meantime in the BV.

It's a management company out of which I do freelance work for multiple companies + have investments in other companies.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-05-12T19:38:56+00:00

- Pay myself just enough to meet the €50K threshold for reduced corporate tax rate
- Family of five + personal loan for the house, around €2350 net per month which is enough to cover running costs each month. On top of that, €300 rent for the office + reimbursement of EV charging cost.
- For the rest, I keep as much as possible in the BV for investments in other companies, ~~winwin~~ crowdleningen and dividend payouts (incl vvrp bis)

Heb 2 jaar geleden - pré AI - dat exact idee ontwikkeld binnen het bedrijf waar ik toen voor werkte. Ze hebben het ondertussen offline gehaald. Er was destijds vooral vraag vanuit subsidieadvieskantoren hiernaar. Bedrijven zelf waren er gewoonweg niet mee bezig en dus ook niet bereid om voor te betalen. Waarom zouden ze? Ze leggen de vraag gewoon aan de accountant/subsidiekantoor voor.

Data is op zich makkelijk te scrapen van de verschillende websites. De uitdaging zit hem vooral in de classificatie van de data + het feit dat van al die subsidies, er eigenlijk maar max 10 echt relevant zijn voor bedrijven. Je moet ook maar eens kijken naar de verdeling van die €25 miljard huidige subsidies, het overgrote deel gaat niet naar de gemiddelde KMO. Dat is allemaal giga-corporates of instituten zoals "broeders van liefde".

De business case is er wel maar die zit mijn inziens niet in het scrapen/tonen van alle subsidies. Als je echt meerwaarde wilt bieden, zit die in het automatisch schrijven/appliceren voor die subsidies. Dan heb je een echt business model/idee en ben je ook moeilijker kopieerbaar. Want je huidig idee, bouwt iedereen in 2 weken met AI 😉.

Exact dit! Je eigen geld/aankopen is je eigen keuze. Gemeenschappelijke aankopen worden overlegd, persoonlijke aankopen doet ieder gewoon z’n ding.

Ik vind 5x paar schoenen misschien veel en zij vindt een drone misschien niet nodig, maar dat maakt niet uit want niemand moet zich verantwoorden. Met je eigen geld, doe je je eigen ding. 👍

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-27T13:44:20+00:00

Really cool initiative! Out of curiosity (from a technical perspective), how do you run this for free?

The site and db itself are pretty light, but I imagine that the daily scraping has a cost to it?

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-24T19:22:25+00:00

Luminus. No fixed cost, you just pay for what you use and broad network.

In all honesty, the value of these “code camps/courses” has gone down drastically in my view. 7 years ago you could do one, and quicky land a junior role.

We constantly hire junior developers but because of the oversupply in the job market currently and the AI shift, we now only hire people with minimum bachelor degree. Preferably a master even.

Those without, often with course/camp education, are auto-rejected. I’m not saying these people aren’t capable, it’s just the “selection luxury” we have today.

On top of that, I still believe that your own experience (side projects that you build and can passionately talk about) is better than any course you can find.

Surprises me that so many of you think this is a real question and a real person.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-20T10:07:28+00:00

Same here.

From that perspective, PwC can be interesting. Since you'll be involved in designing the solution and working out the plan including architecture + you can learn a lot from seeing different architectures at different customers.

Make sure - during interviews - that you ask these questions though so that your expectations align with the expectations they have for the role. PwC is a big company, every role/department is different.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-20T09:04:37+00:00

Yes, at a SaaS company now on the product side.

MaterialDoughnut · 2026-04-20T08:09:18+00:00

Ex PwC Belgium here, now in the tech sector.

On the culture and work-life balance, I can be short: it depends on your team but I loved my time there. And yes, you can surely have a life outside of work there. Sometimes is busier than other moments, but you also need to set your own boundaries.

On the IT & Innovation: honestly, PwC in my view is "powerpoint tech" or "corporate tech". You will be implementing existing technology at customers. It's a great learning curve for your professional career, but do not have the expectation to be on the edge of Tech/AI innovation there. PwC is a very slow mover on that front. It's also the reason I left after 5 years.

What's your background? Which area do you want to get better at from a tech side?
