Correction, you have to declare (or whatever you call "anrechnen") 1% of the company car that you are allowed use in your free time, which often works out cheaper than a privately owned car. In the end you pay at max 45% of the 1%

You can get rid of it - for now. That's what the whole thread is about: there weren't ads until there were. Years ago, the App Store also used to not show ads.

But what if the employee can't see that the shelve is empty and forgets to restock? Then people will open the door and the product will actually not be there which is incredibly frustrating.

You can get very far with the free VS Community and can even use it commercially. ReSharper isn't really needed although nice to have and actually not expensive. It costs less than a decent toolbox for a handyman.

If you are looking for something lighter: CPython can execute ZIPs with a Python program inside. You can also prepend the python shebang before the ZIP and mark it as executable in the filesystem. youtube-dl gets distributed like that.
