I have been using Insomnia for a few years now but was blown away when a colleague told me i could right click the send button and get some additional features... Crazy UI anti pattern. There is no hint that this button has a secondary functionality.

I usually do that as well. But sometimes the properties of a product are not maintained correctly and you might miss out on certain manufacturers completely. Last time this happened to me was when looking for a new TV. Sony was completely filtered out although some of their TVs had all the features i was looking for.

TLDR: The (wrong) filter settings might make you blind for the whole range of the market.

I once had a similar situation with the question "Is everything OK?", which is slightly different from "How are you?".

I am a German living in Germany and i once caused a car crash that made another car spin into the ditch on the side of the road. That car was driven by a family of Russian heritage.

After getting out of the car i spoke to the other parties wife first and I asked "Is everything OK?" with what i ment: "Is there something very wrong beyond the things that are obviously wrong. Like, is your child bleeding to death or is it only the car damage."

But the woman did not understand it this way at all and was a little bit furious because to her obviously nothing was OK.

Of course she had every reason to be upset, but the likelihood of a German interpreting my question in a rude way would have been way lower.

To get production EXPLAINS for problematic queries you can activate auto_explain on a postgres instance. For my transactional system i have set it up to log EXPLAINS for all queries that take more than 2000 ms.

Another example for keyword matching: I work on a German/Polish team. We sent money for a birthday present from Germany to Poland. Someone used the colleagues' nickname "Kuba" in the subject line. The Paypal account of the Polish colleague was blocked afterwards. But he could resolve the issue via support afaik.

At least give a reason for your opinion! Otherwise you are just a troll: On your website you preach long investments in oil and gas.

Good to know. Then i am still wondering why there seems to be wider adoption of CC in Germany. Or maybe we are only reaching the CC adoption that other EU countries have already seen a long time ago...

Nowadays credit and debit card fees are limited by the EU. Around 0.3% per transaction. A 10x reduction to before. Since then adoption of credit card payment has spread widely in German supermarkets.

The /s stands for sarcasm

DevOps is the managers dream where the engineer does operations on top of his engineering workload. Less people less cost.
