Did you ever drive a German car (not necessarily a Mercedes, even a simple VW Polo) vs a non German car? Seriously, that's the reason. Quality. You can be as innovative as you wish, but if you are cheap and provide low quality products

I wonder how that can be, though. Either you are constantly surrounded by junior people, or...? I am sorry, but I can't believe that out of 10-15 people there is not a 20% of people who can do part of your job.

But if you don't share context you can always blame it on the fact that there was a misunderstanding or that you had so much to do, that you couldn't blablabla. And who is gonna challenge a manager and say that it's his job t

I am just a developer and I really like your advice. In my experience, though, I see managers and therefore companies struggling exactly because they do the opposite. They are unable to delegate, to trust and to think "he or she doesn&

No, I can't help you here. I would say, though, that it's different for German companies outside the country.

I have to disagree. Money is not always all. Sometimes it's also about expectations, role, office location, other bonuses, etc. When in 2019 you don't let people do home office... Byebye...

You're so goddamn right! I live in Germany and the only companies I can work for are international ones (US-based). At least I know how they work, what they expect, and generally speaking, it's the way I like to work. Never, ever

Everyone complains about privacy, yet a browser forcing you to share what you visit with a website has 60+% market share, which is insane. The only answer to all this bully behavior is since years only one: Firefox. A bit slower here and th
