Buddy. I probably work slower than you. That's not the point.

We've seen all of this before. But do hire an optimistic 22 year old instead.

Scrolling through the comment section of a retro computing video on YouTube where they used an LLM to help them with programming tasks, I saw a comment that underlines that large scale "AI" advocates have no idea how those things work.

It was a line about how important stepping stone AI was, because now we can translate high level languages like C into low level machine code.

Heat pumps are left wing and "woke" as far as German politics are concerned.

German politics have however not figured if installing air conditioners in public buildings and hospitals is a left-wing or right-wing talking point and therefore German politicians don't know how to approach the subject.

However, it is perfectly normal to send bespoke-built police water cannon trucks to public events for cooling them down.

However, item subtotals for orders (before tax) get rounded down to the number of decimals, but not the tax amount. This means that if you have two items that are 1.3333 EUR each, the line total is rounded up 2.67, losing one cent of accuracy.

Halli decided to split the comedy duo to concentrate on the family business and never went into the details as of why.

The only time he did comedy professionally after the split was ads for his car dealership in the 80's.

But Raggi Bjarna could be a more illustrative example of a professional entertainer who also worked in the car business well into what was supposed to be his retirement as he didn't chip enough into his own retirement fund.

This is making me miss my old savings bank.

A no-nonsense online banking experience and a direct line to a teller who identifies you by your voice and asks you to say hi to your mother from them.

I am looking for consulting gigs and full time positions. I am Berlin based and used to both remote and on-site work.

- PHP, Ruby and more
- Modern development methods in WordPress (FSE/blocks, PSR-4, Composer etc.)
- Infrastructure
- Bespoke, modern and legacy systems
- Security post-mortems
- CI/CD pipelines (Drone, Travis and Github)

For the past couple of years, I've been working on a very challenging WordPress plugin that syncs WooCommerce with an ERP and accounting system.

I'd happily pay one of the ministries a visit as someone who used to work closely with the policy and ToS enforcement team at a social media company as long as they'd show interest and a minimum amount of understanding about the subject.
