It’s 20+ years since I lived in Germany (Berlin). At the time it was pretty easy to rent a high quality property for a reasonable price. I know a lot has changed since then, and the “global housing crisis” is also affecting Germany. Sorry can’t give you more details than that.

I am confident my language skills advice still applies.

Learn (some) German. Admittedly not an engineering skill - but it will be greatly appreciated by your German colleagues. Background: Dutch engineer who lived in Germany for 3 years, and worked for one of their largest engineering orgs.

Hi scarface74, is there a way to contact you directly? It looks like the Reddit handle in your profile has been deleted. Thanks!

How is this different from stealing something from your local grocery store?

These tips are invaluable, thanks a lot!

CYA: Keep comprehensive records of all decisions made and identify who made them throughout the process.

Second that. Joe Rogan's interview with Dr Peter Attia is also quite good. See: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8jrpbm

Seconded; I also recommend this book.

I am a pragmatic Senior Software Engineer with over 15 years of experience that brings an agile mindset and a passion for solving my clients’ most challenging technical problems, experienced working onsite and remotely. I work in a structured and systematic manner and am a proponent of the agile philosophy.

My technical focus typically involves Golang and Java using open source tools and frameworks. I have designed and implemented build pipelines for "Continuous Delivery", and I have extensive experience on Scrum teams and as Scrum Master. My projects often include implementation and application of best practices such as test driven development, refactoring, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and code review.

I seek and try to evangelize the value of teamwork, commitment, integrity, and dedication to quality from my colleagues and client teams.

Native speaker of Dutch with full professional proficiency in English and German.

This is the correct explanation.

This is the good stuff.

Have you tried group-based high intensity training, like Crossfit? Like you I dislike traditional, equipment based gyms. But I absolutely love CF.

Father of three here. This is great advice, thank you.

Amsterdam is like that, maybe just a bit less dysfunctional. I think it's a matter of respect and decency to learn the language of the country you live in.

I am a Getting Things Done adept since more than 10 years. I believe it's made me consistently more organized and productive.

"Getting Things Done (GTD) is a personal productivity system developed by David Allen and published in a book of the same name. GTD is described as a time management system. Allen states "there is an inverse relationship between things on your mind and those things getting done"."

Good luck!

This would interest me as well.

That "evidence" is at best circumstantial. One counterfact is that Nordstream pipeline at the time of it's destruction was not transporting gas, i.e. it had already been shut down and abandoned by the Germans.

That is a pretty wild claim. Mind backing it up?

Staying alive. We don't appreciate enough how important that is.

Amsterdam tech company Messagebird is slashing its workforce for the second time in a month, cutting the number of staff by a total of 31%.

+1 to CrossFit. It pulled me through the birth of my youngest daughter, three job switches in a fairly short amount of time and the pandemic. Like others have said, it will not solve all your problems, but it will definitely make you feel better about yourself.

I actually came to CrossFit through reading Tucker Max's book "Mate" (ISBN-10: ‎0316375365) which I also recommend you read. Good luck brother.

I believe such an API already exists: https://pdftables.com/ (no affiliation).

Went to a presentation at a Golang meetup in Amsterdam by the guys behind this company. Seemed to know their stuff. But I have no real world experience using it.

Read and internalize "Mate" by Tucker Max (search for ISBN 9780316349437 on Amazon, no affiliation). I read it when I was already happily maried. But this is the book I wish I read when I was about your age and that I seriously consider giving to my now 13-year old son as soon as he reaches the appropriate age. And assuming he will accept that kind of advice from his father off course :) I also enjoyed the accompanying podcast that you may find here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-mating-grounds-pod...

You could check out the "GO: With Intensity" series at cleancoders.com. Here's a link to the first episode: https://cleancoders.com/video-details/go_with_intensity-epis...

I don't see how wanting to "prototype something and move fast" is a good reason for choosing NodeJS over Golang. It is fairly easy to build a highly performant backend service in Golang using just the standard lib. See for instance this wiki page: https://golang.org/doc/articles/wiki/

The link to the backend engineering role is broken...
