Could not agree more. For a product company, having software engineers with diverse backgrounds can be a lot more valuable than having only super strong CS theorists (but you should have them of course). As long as the engineers are intelli

A lot of the things you mentioned are abstracted away from most Software Engineers nowadays. Of course it's good to know how these things work, but for most SWE jobs it is not necessary to have a strong grasp of them. The world of soft

just checked some prizes out of curiosity for that route and found tickets starting from 400 EUR for 2 adults and two kids (unless you have to travel on the most expensive dates). Make it 600 EUR but it still does not sound like a big diffe

does the math really work out? You will also have to spend quite some money on fuel and should factor in the depreciation and maitenance costs of your car to make it comparable. And flights on popular routes in Europe are pretty cheap nowad

I don't know what Google pays for a Senior engineer, but from what I know about Amazon it's about 70-100k. Other companies that pay on this level: - Zalando - HERE Technologies - N26 - Delivery Hero - Soundcloud - VW/Mercedes

It wasn't a prediction, this was set in stone and only the disaster that is the BER construction made some people reevaluate it. Of course it was risky to buy a home based on this, but there are many other forward looking projects to b

there are a lot of cool projects to be built in the area of Tegel, including more housing. My University wants/needs to expand its campus there too and people who bought apartments in the area would get screwed over if Tegel would stay

It's delusional to think Berlin will forever be the leftist dreamland that it has been for the last 30 years. This change is inevitable and in the end creates value for the city. The problems can be solved in different ways than fighti

this is a tiny script/hack that someone did 2 years ago and was kind enough to open-source. That person probably did not post the link to HN. So, what do you expect?
