I simply have fear, that Chinese cars will have horrible problems with the availability of spare parts. I don’t want to wait 2 years for replacement door or hood after small accident. First teslas had horrible drivetrain parts. I don’t want

Fail. This property is rented to 2 families. So it’s price reduced by at least €200k compared to an empty property. You’ll never get out 2 families at once as long as they pay rent.

An error: maternal leave pay is capped around 1800€. So it’s rather 1/3 of salary for white collar worker. This feature makes having kids for middle class even more expensive. A year later comes the nightmare with not enough kindergart

Depends on how hard you want it. I spent more than a decade between the start of the search for proper property and buy decision. I even managed to sign my mortgage agreement in last weeks of cheap money in eurozone. It’s a long game unless

Bad location might be 40 miles away for Munich city center. The company claims, they are not in Munich and can’t pay that level of salaries despite being in the same high cost area. Maybe locals with real estate might be interested in such

It depends as always. Whole industry is unionized in Germany and big companies pay according union's tables. These stupid tables are for 35 hour weeks. Last company was able to get 40 hours contract and it was ok. The company I denied

No. You pay max insurance of around $24k pre tax in Germany for a family. But the rest is private fun. So in an unfortunate year with couple dental implants and few pairs of glasses your pay another $10k from your pocket. Tax authority will

I mean 22€ is a cashier’s salary before taxes in Munich and good salary in some unnamed place in nowhere. This average number does not provide much useful information. University MINT freshmen make €55k in bigger cities, hard to imagine who

My colleague was transported to mental health institution with an escort of police straight from the office. And was kept there for 2 weeks. People are treated like trash by other people. I don’t want to think about industrial animal farmin

The owner of the company I work for sold it to the big corp. Colleagues remember the times under the owner with a great sadness. He helped everybody in trouble and was super generous. The owner had same revenue with half of the employees of

It’s just marketing. A plus point in differentiation matrix from gazillion competitors. And a justification for a higher price tag. The products are nice though.

You’re heavily oversimplifying things. If you look at some random Volkswagen or BMW service plan - it’s always about engine. Oil, belts, chains, spark plugs, air filters. Parts optimized for a profitable quick replacement at a dealership. E

It can be better! Potential co-founder asked me to bring my own 9000€ for company’s registration (in Germany). I didn’t. A year later the company ditched all hardware and went software only. I dodged a bullet as a hardware developer as I se

The thing is that the economics are poor. Why? Because additional processing step of these materials in recycling plant produces worse quality materials that need purifying again if used for production. Except copper of course. And there sh

That’s how LC sells it. And companies buy it. I know enough people, that deliver on very tight deadlines, but can’t do whiteboard coding during stressful interviews. Are these scammers or thrive in politics? Or just stress level is way too

Digikey is sadly very expensive. It’s good for prototype. Or expensive industrial equipment. But for consumer goods one needs to go to China and source really cheap components optimized for large volume manufacturing.

Sounds like your clients know what they are doing. That’s very nice way of working. I was involved as employee in countless dubious agile called projects. It’s good way to hide missing project management covering it with dubious rituals lik

Because on personal blog personal opinion may appear. And personal opinion sometimes does not align with the right opinion. That’s where one loses karma points. That’s why I have paper diary instead of public blog.

I did recently this “back to the office” thing. At the same time layoffs were happening. It was super obvious that not complying with new rules will bring first warning, second warning and layoff without any package. The packages were tailo

I am using 1500€ Amscope for soldering tasks. It does not have such amazing magnification. Such magnification is also not needed for daily work. But it replaced 10k Olympus device from a decade ago. Optical devices got radically cheaper in

It worked very well as a layoff for me. The contrast between open office with 15 tables and quiet room dedicated for work was dramatic. I will not work in places with open offices anymore for sure.

I am one of these naive people who expected happy home office forever. It bit me hard, because I bought an old house outside of big city and spent the time I would need to commute renovating it. The return to the office happened, I quit. Th
