  • Caleb background
    

    35 years old. Getting married in October. Living in Taiwan. Software engineer - 9 years. Running software engineering co-op (see: 508.dev).

    Currently working 60+ hour weeks for AI company, mostly to recharge savings after taking a few months break from work. Also handling all accounting for co-op. Also frequently plans large co-working events for digital nomads in Taiwan.

    Very ADHD, lately learning a lot about this to improve life.

    Enjoys making videos and taking photos, but never has time to get editing done. Enjoys motorcycling, does so frequently. Loves reading and writing.

    I struggle with

    • keeping track of everything
    • deciding what to prioritize - running too many projects at once
    • finishing administrative / high-friction tasks
    • knowing what I should be doing at any given time, or, even if I know, actually doing it
    • procrastination

    I work best when:

    • priorities are clearly defined
    • tasks are small and concrete
    • someone else is tracking things and holding me accountable

    Things that give me energy:

    • building things (software, projects, communities)
    • interacting with people
    • clear progress and visible results

    Right now:

    • I don't have a clear view of our financials (I can't easily answer profit questions)
    • I have many parallel projects with no single tracking system
    • Some things fall through the cracks (follow-ups, people, admin)
    • I often feel overwhelmed by the number of things I could be doing
  • 508.dev background
    

    Founded in 2021. Essentially an engineering agency. Clients hire our engineers on an hourly basis to integrate into their teams typically for short term work (3-9 months, sometimes longer).

    Very non-traditional company: NOT profit driven! As a co-op, the company is "owned" by all the "employees" (in reality, Caleb is the only owner, and everyone is a contractor, however these rights are guaranteed by their Member Agreement and Subcontracting Agreements). Thus, margins are very narrow (currently 15%, with 10% available for BD/Referral fees). Also, our priorities are on the well being of our members, so for example we're hesitant to add buy-out clauses to our contracts, since we want our clients to have every incentive possible to hire our engineers.

    Revenue was relatively flat until last year, when we jumped from ~30k/year to ~300k/year due to a friend of mine with a huge network joining. We have growing pains from this, and are figuring out what we want to do next, while maintaining our values.
