With the risk of pulling a Godwin, the “It’s just a job, so any ethics, morals or generally doing the right thing don’t apply” defense is getting kinda stale. It’s one step away from “I was just following orders”

Weirdly enough, Germany in general is very very privacy conscious. In Berlin even more, due to DDR hangover.

This whole thing is sadly “typically Berlin”. No hard, scientific proof for that but it is extremely unsurprising when you have some experience with Berlin bureaucracy.

In my home country the 8 o clock news by the public broadcaster is still the most watched TV show everyday and has been for years. That’s hardly what I’d call “dying”. Might be different in the US.

I found Nuxt absolutely terrible to work with when I tried it about 1.5 years ago. Bad documentation, confusing terms and architecture. I ditched it. Has it become any better? I'm pretty comfortable with Vue.js.

I don’t work in one but have visited three of them here in Berlin quite recently for meetings. The one in Friedrichshafen on the Spree is pretty nice. Great view. The other ones more in Mitte had way too much of a semi hipster hotel lobby f

Not sure what Google you use, but Apple has about 123.000 employees in total. Edit: according to Wiki, the US DoD is the largest employer in the world at 2.1M employees. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_em

Negative press hurt Facebook only slightly and mostly in the west. In Asia and Africa Facebook is still the internet.

Reminds me of the Flaming Lips stage show where they a huge amount of flexible, LED strips as a backdrop going through all kinds of animations as the show progresses.

Totally agree. I implemented stuff like Paypal and Adyen. Bit of a horror show. But even Stripe's API has some gotcha's. I documented how I implemented Stripe for the SaaS I run quite extensively at https://blog.checkly

I probably exaggerated a bit. This paraphrase says the limit is “hardly ever 20 lines”. https://dzone.com/articles/rule-30-–-when-method-class-or Sorry, don’t have the actual book at hand now. Still a great read though

Don’t use Kubernetes or Microservices. Solves most problems. Not even being sarcastic.

Ok cool. Would maybe make sense to create a dedicated page for this outlining how you are keeping my data safe and unwanted people out.

What scares me is that their whole site doesn't mention the word "security" once. Also "testing" is in the FAQ as a "we're working on it"-item.
