Running a law firm on Free software

4 hours ago (decoded.legal)

These law firms all using Harvey don’t know that they are giving Harvey everything they need to integrate vertically and become the Amazon for law. Then you are at their whim for every client. Also, AI doesn’t give you an edge if everyone is using the same cookie cutter solution.

My biggest concern is having only one DevOps person. What happens if you get sick or are unavailable? You still need someone with around 5 years of DevOps experience. Being understaffed at critical moments can easily lead to losing customers. Also, how many employees and customers do you have? Do major clients, such as corporations or banks, require security certifications or specific processes? I think customers need to feel they can trust a company that is large enough and capable of taking responsibility, rather than a one-person company.

> Text expansion: espanso

Have always loved that text shortcuts work across iOs and MacOs (yay, for integrated walled gardens).

Wanted the same thing for Linux and it seems like espanso + rsync(or git) for syncing the shortcuts across devices is the way to go.

Curious what money software they were using:

Invoicing and tracking payments: InvoicePlane

Time tracking: Kimai

But no ERP? I presume their accountant is doing the books then?
