Honestly, nothing really. It feels like each year more fucked up things are happening, so I lost the positivity I had for the upcoming years.

Don’t get me wrong I am in a good place personally, but with all the stuff going on in the world it sometimes feel hard to believe it’s gonna get better any time soon.

Nothing really surprising to me, but the burnout rate really worries me.

Also having only 5% females in the field is a shame, would love to see that increased over the next decade.

But surprised by the backlash here, but I was thinking 21 century Germany.

And in the last 20 years germany did not manage to do anything when it comes to digitalization. Hell, our schools still use overhead projectors.

I am curious how this will turn out. Germany is not known for state driven digital innovation and this is a huge project.

Even though I am highly sceptic, I hope they finally manage to get something going because Germany and whole Europe needs more independence from US hyperscalers.

I fear this will die in good old German bureaucracy though.

That means that you are probably around 14 years old.

Rule of thumb: don't smack bottoms without consent. Goes either way

Disagree on this one, even though I can see where you are coming from. I first learnt programming in Java, and it gave me massive problems to understand the structure and typings. Obviously Java isn’t the most beautiful language anyways, but once I picked up python it started to click for me on how to solve problems, because I didn’t have to think about that many things. I could just go for it. Yes, my code was messy in the beginning, but I wasn’t working on any important projects. It was just for fun.

So I think learning how to solve problems is as important as writing clean code. And python really helped me with that.
