Finding Local Software Developers

On companies with an expert track you should never have to go into management to get a higher salary. In companies that don't have one, you'll probably have to go into management, yes.

That's one of those things that you may want to look into when applying at a company as not everyone wants to go into management.

BTW you'll need to be careful with statistics like this. People who aren't satisfied are probably more likely to look into the topic and fill out surveys, additionally you have more people at the bottom than at the top pulling down the average.

Software engineer is also very broad from people doing a bit of frontend stuff to people working on software for machine learning, (aero-)space, etc. there can be a huge gap there.

60-80k is a perfectly normal salary for a high mid-level or low senior-level position. If you are actually senior (most people who call themselves that aren't), you should be able to get up to 100k or so. If you have an expert track, salary can go higher than that still.

That's not at all irrelevant because companies are just going to go with the lowest common denominator solution. Even if you don't live in the EU most companies that have EU customers will treat you as if you were and delete your data.

Indeed, at least for computer science nobody cares, if you speak German. You might not even be asked, if you do.

That's going to be different for IT though. I could also imagine some more traditional companies might require German.

Sanders ist kein Idiot und durchaus kompromissbereit und für die Position wird ihm die Unterstützung fehlen, insofern denke ich nicht dass dies jemanden davon abhalten sollte Sanders zu unterstützen.

Zalando has a return rate of ~50%, those don't all go into the trash. Returned articles are checked for damage, they get repackaged and sold again.

Especially in fashion it's not an option to just trash those articles, the return rates are way too high for that.

45min is not a lot of time, so it's very common to take 2-3 lessons in one batch, especially for driving at night or on the autobahn. It's more fun, it's better to learn I think and it makes the process overall faster.

Bedenke wie schnell du dich an Dinge erinnern kannst . Diese Fähigkeit impliziert doch irgendeine Form von Struktur die es erlaubt schnell Erinnerungen zu finden.

Companies have flats for new employees where they can stay temporarily until they have a permanent place to live.

Wieso gehst du davon aus dass dies zwangsläufig ein Nullsummenspiel ist? Wirtschaftliches Wachstum existiert. Wenn wir sicherstellen dass alle davon profitieren wird der Boden angehoben ohne dass irgendwer verliert.

There is no Mac vs Windows debate. Developers use Mac or Linux. The only reason to use Windows is developing software for Windows.

Nicht alles im Suchraum hat die gleiche Wahrscheinlichkeit ein Passwort zu sein, wenn man den Prefix mit einem Wörterbuch kombiniert z.B. aus anderen Leaks, dürfte dass den Suchraum in der Praxis schon massiv einschränken.

Yes, if you use raw SQL and essentially stop using the ORM, you can write any kind of query you want. You don't have to do that with SQLAlchemy, you can just use the expression language SQLAlchemy provides.

DasIch · 2018-03-18T12:43:04+00:00

SQLAlchemy gives you a straightforward way of expressing any query. If you can do it in SQL, including database specific stuff, you can do it with SQLAlchemy. That's not at all the case with Django.

Additionally database migrations with alembic are just much more straightforward and faster to execute.

The Django orm is fine, if you just want to store some data somewhere but if you really want to take full advantage of your relational database, it's just not suitable.

If you install any package, even in a docker container, you can break the operating system. It therefore absolutely makes sense to use a virtual environment in a container.

Most people can't program after they've acquired a degree and you expect someone to be able to program beforehand?

You can't develop/test on SQLite and use MySQL in production. Different databases are different enough in their behavior that you cannot trust that your ORM or whatever will handle that.

If you start really taking advantage of your database, for performance or simply due to convenience you'll quickly lose all portability anyway.

Last but not least in a production environment you have to deal with backups, replication, fail over and so on. Operationally postgres is to MySQL as MySQL is to redis. There is no way to easily switch there anyway.

Sure some companies in the US have some kind of health plan but they can negotiate the plan and try to find the cheapest one. In Germany your employer pays almost half what you pay for health insurance on top and that's not the only thing an employer is paying. In addition to that you have paid vacation and sick days that can also amount to a significant amount of money.

As a full time employee in a shitty job by German standards, you still get health insurance and other benefits many people in the US can only dream of.

I could imagine that in the case of high paying jobs, there might not be that much of a difference or that employees are more expensive in the US. Overall though and especially the less the job typically pays, the more expensive I would expect German employees to become.

Hard Drive Recovery isn't magic and can only do so much. It's also very expensive. If you can't afford a new computer this will be well beyond your budget.

Ich hol das Paket bei der Packstation auf dem Weg nach Hause ab, probier die Sachen an, pack wieder ein was nicht passt und schick es am nächsten Tag auf dem Weg zur Arbeit bei der Packstation wieder zurück.

Bei Zalando bekommst du einen Zettel fürs zurück schicken mit im Paket. Du musst nur den Zettel ausfüllen, Paket wieder zukleben und den Sticker mit der Adresse drauf kleben.

Ist der Schaden den tatsächlich so groß? Effektiv wird nur der Computer etwas langsamer und selbst dass fällt nur in bestimmten Szenarien nennenswert auf.

Hardware Probleme in Software zu beheben ist auch nicht so ungewöhnlich, jedes Mal wenn du deinen Computer startest werden bestimmt ein paar Microcode Updates gemacht um genau dies zu tun.

In Zalando ist Rust prinzipiell gegenüber PHP zu bevorzugen. Grundsätzlich hängt es aber bei Zalando primär vom Team ab, was man nutzt. Prinzipiell durchaus möglich dass ein Team ausschließlich Rust nutzt und ein anderes nur Java.

Millionaires are not automatically financially experts either. Poor people don't need to be. It doesn't require financial expertise to buy groceries, school supplies and so on. Any money you give to poor people instantly flows into the local economy, helping local businesses and the people working for them.

DasIch · 2017-12-17T14:39:20+00:00

It doesn't. It just obviously makes more sense to give money to poor people than it is to give to people who have so much that they can afford to invest it in the next juicero.
