Also Norway did find out simply replacing 1-1 and making the transition has not only good benefits[1]. Because they made it so cheap people took less public transit, walked or cycled less. Also they didn’t regulate the weight of the car, so more traffic deaths ( as is the case in most countries). The most sustainable mode of transport is biking, walking, public transport.

Are you over reacting or really 800 job applications? An accomplishment for putting so many applications out!


It's not a stretch. The job market is terrible and has been for some time. I was 400-500 applications into my job hunt when I *finally* found something and that was at the end of 2022. It has gotten worse since then.


I see you haven't been on the job market recently. 800 is nothing.


Meanwhile cars are allowed to get bigger, heavier and thus more dangerous (SUV and Pickup trucks). See https://youtu.be/jN7mSXMruEo?si=GvZy7BC7AqwsFmUW Not as an excuse for a driver to take seat after drinking too much alcohol or taking cannabis. I find it a rearguard action by concentrating too much on the driver and not on the weapon (car) itself. In my opinion a more difficult but more worthwhile is to make infrastructure more safe in general.


I’m curious for countries like mine (Netherlands) where a bachelor cost you €12k inc. books etc. (if you pay the maximum without studyfunding) As some vocational education profession is high in demand right now compared to some bachelor degrees.


Or countries where education is actually cheap. Wasn't Germany doing that for a while?


Studying most things in most places is free of charge in Germany. Generally there'll be a mandatory fee that includes a public transport ticket and some administrative overhead (~300-400€/6 months).


Where do you get those numbers from?

When I studied (2014-2018) I paid 100-150€/semester Slight trend upwards, might be 200€ now

And that was in Munich, which tends to be expensive.


At least in Cologne they're regularly hitting 300 (https://verwaltung.uni-koeln.de/studsek/content/studium/ruec...). Dortmund was about ~340 last summer semester (https://www.tu-dortmund.de/storages/tu_website/Dezernat_4/De...). The 400 was just an uneducated guess for more expensive regions.


Oh https://www.lmu.de/de/workspace-fuer-studierende/1x1-des-stu....

LMU down to 85 for Munich While that doesn't include a full Semesterticket, it's cheaper than Dortmund without


In Poland state universities are free. You only need to pay for books, and they're reasonably priced (i.e. the textbooks prices are not extortionate like for example in the US), like normal books.


TLDR: I agree

For me that is part of seeking feedback. I try to do evaluation with the customer, especially when I am the only developer. I always feel a little bit anxious, but it’s always worth the talk.


This is a post how I came across the existence of multiple cooperative inheritance and used it to create better testable code. This is my first post involving code, so I am curious if you have any feedback. I'd like to know if fellow developer use Multiple Inheritance and for what purpose. Let me know if you liked the article.


If you have found a good resource about Logging and Exception handling let me know.


I can remember you having a "Plato workshop" and I actually found that interesting and funny.

Generally I am against the idea that every one should be a specialist. I caught myself that I even in my head wofo=rust, because you market it in such a way. Even though I know this is not the case.

Funny story I started as Process Technologist in my previous job (studied chemical engineering), transitioned to a Developer and went to a kind of proxy-sysadmin role at the same company.

You talk about generalizing within the same domain (programming), what about if you have additional skills. Something I struggle with, as I managed a Waste Water Treatment Plant, designed Dairy factory lines and now I am Software Engineer. It is all Engineering but oh boy is it difficult to market yourself as both. So perhaps I should narrow it down on my own website as well.


Great idea, with myself only having one blogpost currently. I should give users the option as well (in the future that is) For the rest I completely hate the Subscribe Here banners, so I agree with the rest of your opinion.
