Thanks for the tip. I've enrolled in an A1 class with Goethe Institute starting in April. In your opinion, how difficult would it be to rent or potentially own a home on a single engineering salary? Looking at prices on https://www.immobilienscout24.de/, it does not seem possible after accounting for taxes. A salary of 60k ends up being about 3.2k net per month. If renting a home takes 2k of that, I may need to reconsider my country of choice.
It’s 20+ years since I lived in Germany (Berlin). At the time it was pretty easy to rent a high quality property for a reasonable price. I know a lot has changed since then, and the “global housing crisis” is also affecting Germany. Sorry can’t give you more details than that.
I am confident my language skills advice still applies.
Could you expand a little? Are you referring to the workaholism some Americans have? Personally, I've always sought out companies that value a healthy work/life balance and am relieved to hear Europeans companies value it so highly.
Aside from being too enthusiastic about work, what other gaps in engineering/work culture exist?
I used to work for a company that has both US and EU offices. The EU ones have considerably better WLB (but of course less pay) and people take a t least a month of vacation during the summer. Aside from the workaholism issue you talked about, there is a more subtle difference that I felt -- US has a stronger marketing culture while the EU has a stronger engineering culture. However, this is just an isolated case.
How would you know? I also submitted a deletion request to that airport identity service Clear to avoid missing a flight one time. I received an email "Your request has been received" and nothing else. Is there a way we can validate our information is actually deleted?
It will either be disclosed in bankruptcy proceedings, and failing that, finding a whistleblower who has access to the data and can/will attest to the fraud.
1) Try a few different "dustless" chalk brands. Pick the one that's the least dusty. It probably won't write as nicely. 2) Erase with a damp cloth, not a dry felt eraser. 3) Use a blackboard with relatively low surface roughness. It won't write as nicely.
Imagine a native desktop app that let you build a UI with very basic elements, à la Visual Basic, and behind each of those elements is an associated AWS CLI command. Such that "aws s3 ls" attached to a list element would render an account's buckets.
The AWS APIs are so expansive, a product like this could offer a complete replacement for the default web console and maybe even charge for it. Does anyone know if such a solution exists? Perhaps some more generic "shell-to-ui" application? If not, I'm interested in building one if anybody would like to contribute.
For your Reddit posts, did you target a subreddit that might have interest in the extension or did you use one meant specifically for extension development/promotion? If the latter, which one?
I'm in the process of adding payments as well and I'm starting things off with Stripe. Specifically, their payment links and subscriptions features. Longer term, I may switch, and am building things in a way that migration will be easy.
