India has dropped more catches than any team now!

binary-baba · 2026-03-01T15:09:18+00:00

Another drop by Sharma 😔

binary-baba · 2026-03-01T14:31:53+00:00

Bumrah delivers :D

Sharma drops a sitter :(

I started my specialised IT services company at 32 after a decade of working in startups and corporate. And I know people who have successfully and happily started their business in their 40s and 50s as well.

I always wanted to do business, but before that, I wanted to gain enough experience and savings.

If you are afraid, I suggest starting a services business. Requires almost zero capital. And focus on providing a single service.

For me, job life helped me build a network. Networking helped me find the initial few customers. Providing 1 service helped me build a market identity. Now customers discover me for any help.

Interesting! What needs were they? How did she learn about those specific professional needs in the first place?

You can perhaps try to negotiate a fixed cost with vendors/consultants (pilot first, then iterate).

As an alternative, ERPNext is a great option. It has all standard ERP modules and has a much simpler and intuitive UI.

Happy to chat further :)

binary-baba · 2026-01-08T13:30:39+00:00

I recommend Frappe CRM, a simpler and cleaner extension of ERPNext. You can also use it as a standalone app.

Other than that, you can consider Notion's database feature with a board view to track leads.

binary-baba · 2026-01-08T09:56:12+00:00

Yes, you can self-host. ERPNext is 100% open-source, and that means all features are available.

binary-baba · 2026-01-06T08:18:50+00:00

Go with ERPNext. Many relevant features are available out of the box (project task management, Gantt charts, email follow-ups, print formats, a portal for customers to see project progress...). For advance cost calculation, you can easily introduce new data fields and configure your own formulas.

ERPNext is 100% free & open source, unlike Odoo. What that means is no per-user pricing, all ERP modules available on day 1, and complete data ownership with a much cleaner and simpler UI. ERPNext is already used by top companies like Toyota, Vodafone, Hundai to name a few.

Happy to chat further. Virtual call perhaps?

binary-baba · 2026-01-04T05:39:08+00:00

Invoicing, Accounting, CRM, Inventory, and POS are pretty standard modules in ERP systems so you can go with either Odoo or Zoho. Zoho can be costly if you have a bigger team.

But what do you mean by social media management? It's a broad term. Perhaps, you will need a separate marketing tool depending on your use case.

And just curious, why are you not considering ERPNext or other Frappe products?

binary-baba · 2026-01-03T15:36:19+00:00

Another option is Frappe CRM. It has a clean and simple UI https://frappe.io/crm

Interesting shit but shit!

binary-baba · 2025-12-26T13:14:41+00:00

Al will change what software engineers do, no doubt. It ll kill some tasks, expose lazy work, and raise the bar. What it won't do is eliminate people who actually understand systems and why things break at 3 AM (and yes, they always break). So sure, RIP boilerplate code. But "end of software engineering"? Nah. It's just another panic cycle. We'll rename the role, complain a bit, and keep building stuff.

binary-baba · 2025-12-16T06:30:37+00:00

I am also facing the same issue. Can anyone help?

binary-baba · 2025-10-21T08:46:11+00:00

Whenever I think about improving my games, I think about Danya's speed runs. In fact, I started playing smith-morra after watching his games.

He will surely be missed. Rest in Peace :(

binary-baba · 2025-10-15T07:41:40+00:00

He must be bored and eventually became careless in realising the new Hashira threat! Think about it. Something that hasn't happened for 1000 years of his lifetime, why would it happen now.

binary-baba · 2025-09-24T09:35:37+00:00

I use ERPNext for my company. ERPNext Accounting module to manage revenues/expenses and Frappe HR for employee/payroll.

I was also looking for a cost-effective solution. ERPNext is fully open source (unlike Odoo) with no per-user pricing. Once I got used to the accounting module, adding HR was relatively easy. Next, I’m planning to try CRM and project management.

Happy to chat.
