Puzzle-solving languages are rather Lisp or Haskell. Both C++ and Rust are very practical for their problem domain.

Historically best innovative companies were founded by engineers though - even in Germany in its better (in terms of economic growth at leastt) times. It's kind of related to the culture again - if you see business as something scary t

Sorry, but it's a typical German detached from reality attitude. We are going to find some magical niches that no one else will dare to touch allowing us to live quietly in a village and print money just like that (not a lot of money o

It's not just about startups, it's about entrepreneurial attitude in general. Europe has great workers, including great engineers, but business culture is lacking. Entrepreneurs we have are mostly "professional entrepreneurs&

Being backed by the government is not necessarily a bad thing. It's just the government seems to be uniquely backing things that don't fly.

Wirecard, Northvolt, Lilium. German media and politics seem to have a unique talent for only promoting wrong things.

I don't know what country is it, but being in Germany I've had to interact with customer support (for internet providers, banks etc.) a lot. At the quality was not top notch at all. The companies are well alive and thriving.

Nice! Not going to work, but appreciate the emoji. UPD. This code is like that picture with Disney princesses. The closer you look, the scarier it gets

Well, that's what seems to be happening at least in Germany where I am. Retirement age goes up, retirement benefits (inflation-adjustment) go down, contributions to pension system go up. It's always a bit of political struggle of

It's year 2025, why doesn't the author use actual fruit emoji for variable names?

What approach would you take without getting rid of the concept of retirement entirely? If people live longer than they can work, they have to rely on the support of those who work in the old age - and the worse the radio of working people

Why not? VCs manage investors' money, not their own. If investors think AI is so great, they will have no problem delegating this job to AI, right?

Technical background doesn't always help in my experience - it's just a different role. Creating great product requires deep technical expertise to understand where the cutting edge is, vision to understand how it can be expanded

I know about this system, but I am not convinced it can work in such a dynamic field as software. When tools change all the time, you need strong fundamentals to stay afloat - which is what universities provide. Vocational training focusing

If AI is going to be as economically efficient as promised, there is going to be no way to avoid using it altogether. So the trick will be to keep your thinking skills functional, while still using AI for speedup. Like focus in the age of I

So basically all education facilities should go abroad too if no one needs Western fresh grads. Will provide a lot of shareholder value, but there are some externalities too.

I guess the industry leaders think we'll not need senior engineers either as capabilities evolve. But also, I think this underestimates significantly what junior engineers do. Junior engineers are people who have spent 4 to 6 years rec

I meant the difference between safety-critical and security-critical systems, safety goals and security goals etc. It's all Sicherheit in German. Schutz is protection. Can refer to both I guess. E.g. Datenschutz would be about security

I don't know where the idea about the preciseness of German language comes from, especially in anything computer-related. For one, German language famously fails to distinguish between safety and security as well as between an error, a

You can demonstrate toxic positivity about the desired work place I guess? Like, focus on how amazing it is going to be and what opportunities you see here that will clearly overshadow your previous job.
