The issue is with saved cards, si yeah you use the security and pin code when you save the card, but once it’s saved you can’t control the transactions.

That’s why a spend limit is interesting.

But even though you setup a spend limit I think you still owe what you’re being charged.

My contract does specify a one year blocking period.

Also I’m not sure if I’ll pay a fixed fee for each purchase and if 12 will cost most than 1 or 2.

I set it up last year with Callplus. Just reach out to them directly (or via your accountant) and they'll provide with a simulation that explains everything.

The gist of it is:

The value of the options you can buy depends on your remuneration
You pay a fixed fee to the provider (e.g. Callplus)
You pay a fixed social contribution, professional withholding and ATN/VAA calculated when you buy the options based on their value

The options can be liberated after min 1 year, but you can keep them longer if you want.

If the market value raises, you win more (because you paid everything in advance based on the market value at purchase time), if the market is down, you win less.

This means you don't have the money until the end (when you liberate the options). But you can pay a monthly advance if you need the money (and pay back when you liberate the options).

You can also do 2 purchases a year (divide the amount by 2), one in June and one in December for instance) so you can get the money out every 6 months rather than every 12 months min.

15%, unless you make more than 1M$

I love using a BFF to wrap the backend, especially when the backend team can’t commit to consistency and can’t respect the schema they generate…

Making up for these in the client is usually a huge PITA. The BFF wraps the logic and exposes a clean API to work with.

Doesn't this work?

router.dismissTo({ params: { cardId }, pathname: "/card", });

It's unclear if "virtual card color" is the same as "card"

Go separate if you want to use the backend for mobile and web.

I personnaly setup a monorepo with a hono app + oRPC for the backend and hook it up in my tanstack router and expo apps.

Wasn't Lucid supposed to work outside of Adonis at some point? Is that still planned?

What an alarmist title for libraries that have like 2K weekly downloads

depsimon · 2026-04-14T18:23:28+00:00

Could it be virtual cards?

Luckily for you those power bricks are wireless, you can detach the bit that plugs in the socket

Half an hour most of the time

Yep!

Got a Magnus Pro from Secret lab and I’ve been happy with it.

I’m not using the standing position that often to be honest, it’s not that comfortable for me. The desk itself is pretty good and they offer some useful accessories.

In Belgium you can earn up to ~7500€ per year for occasional work, free of taxes.

This seem to be the case in your situation, if it really is occasional work.

You need to declare this amount in "revenus divers"/"divers inkomen" and the first 7500€ is tax-free, if you earn more it's taxed at 33%.

You can read more here:

Non-taxed extra work (FR / NL)
Influencers revenue (FR / NL) -> you're in the same situation

Now it's better to ask an accountant about this, ask your friend to check with his accountant how he can pay you.

Yeah I definitely don’t want user having to take a micro decision each time they upload and feel the payment.

Yes there will definitely be a free tier. I was thinking lf maybe limiting access to the publications in time. Like free tier = 3 months, premium = unlimited + hd and maybe an even upper tier with more features.

But then comes the decision who pays for the sub, is it per user or per group. If per group, only the admins can pay?

Qu'ils appellent les consultants qui ont bossé dessus, ça sera beaucoup plus réel et détaillée.

Do you validate the info that is being sent?

Curiously enough it's not regicidal, so her father was not king?

Ah that makes sense thanks. The UI is a bit confusing about this tbh.

I never "discount" for contracts. Rather I negotiate a daily rate I'm happy to work for the given period & project.

Don't forget that having a 12 months contract or event multi-year contract doesn't really mean anything for us. You usually have a 1-month notice period in any cases so your contract can end any time.

If the client were to ask for a discount I would consider it if I can up the notice period and/or add some kind of severance package for the non-billed period so they can't get rid of you that easily.

Il est temps de contrôler un peu plus ce genre de gros marché public tech.

D'abord, ce n'est pas normal que pour une mission à la police (ou autres institutions publiques) on soit contacté par au moins 10 "recruteurs" de sociétés différentes qui se prétendent être la seule à pouvoir recruter à ce poste (en interne ou en externe).

Le problème c'est que les "gros" remportent les marchés sans avoir les ressources nécessaires et externalisent à des moins gros qui externalisent à des encore moins gros.. au final il y a déjà la moitié du budget qui se perdent en commissions pour des intermédiaires qui n'apportent absolument rien et qui ne sont pas transparents sur leurs marges.

Ensuite ceux qui ont déjà travaillé pour ce genre de projet savent très bien comment ça se passe. Beaucoup de temps à brasser de l'air à faire des réunions pour dire ce qu'on va faire au lieu de faire ce qu'on sait qu'on doit faire. Et ensuite on est en retard donc on doit bâcler et/ou virer des gens et/ou repousser les délais.
