He looks like he’s trying to scam us of our internet points by making a face.

Shut up, female dog!

Prepare your butthole for the Danish spoken number system, where they express integers in fractions

Great skills, giving a tiny fraction of the budget to vaccine research during a global pandemic that halted the economy. I’m sure no one else would have thought of that.

Your lamp shade is driving me crazy!

Sound more like the U.S. than Germany - Germany has the €49/month public transport ticket, relatively good public transport offerings and a green party that has the best election results of the western industrial countries. Of course shutting down nuclear power plants didn’t do them any favours regarding pollution.

• Don’t code in a language/style that requires you to write code that makes prefixing necessary - divide and conquer instead
• Readable code and well written unit/BDD tests is much better than separate documentation that will go out of sync the minute another Dev does some surgical incision into the code
• Be verbose if you need to in order to convey the relevant semantics, the characters are virtually free
• Use the casing that is mainstream/recommended by its’ developers for the language at hand

By no one, I assume you mean everyone, including the Russian troll bots?

Hexbear.net is a Russian nationalist instance… They’ve grown up under Putin’s cencorship and state media brainwashing.

Honey, please fill out these court papers, I need you to change your name to this new ticket number that I’m starting work on next Monday.

Here in Norway there was a marked shift to acceptance for more home office post-Corona. We did have stricter and longer restrictions than you guys though, and basically things didn’t go back to normal until winter 2022. At my work I’d say 80% do home office at least 1 day per week, and 30% do home office 4/5 days in the week (we have one mandatory office day per week). I’d also say that a few percent have taken that opportunity to do “quiet quitting” and essentially do nothing (joining meetings from the car in the middle of the day on their way to IKEA and stuff like that, never engaging in or starting initiatives by themselves etc.), but that’s on management for not getting rid of them.

Personally I still go 5/5 days by own choice, because I live right next by, prefer the ritual of switching into job/focus mode that it is to walk to the office, and like sitting in a separate place that has no distractions (compared to home, where I would take 5 minutes to do the dishes, take an extended trip to the grocery at lunch, etc) and that my brain only associates with working.

Yes the current leader is a generic russian politician/stooge, but the previous leader was a real firecracker! He claimed to have been abducted by aliens and to have visited their planet https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsan_Ilyumzhinov

While I love it and use it wherever I can, TBF it’s mainly a frontend technology for people who are stronger in the .NET stack than the JS/TS ecosystem. The latter is miles ahead on tooling, size of the ecosystem and the pace of innovation/improvement.

First

Yeah, the rest of it is hot garbage - rambling uninspired dialogue, bad actors, story line all over the place. Stick with the books IMO.

Suuuucks for development at least, it’s too small to divide into 3 zones, and if you divide by 2 you will just end up with a kink in your neck from always looking to the side. I’d rather have a single 27" with infinite virtual desktops I can shuffle around, than a 49" (my 49" has actually been collecting dust in storage for a couple of years now).
