I was once involved in building the UI for a video game. There was some kind of labels for baseic color selection ... "czerwony" instead of "red" broke everything :F

As a developer working in a German company the question of translating some domain language items into English comes up here and there. Mostly we fail because the German compound words are so f*** precise that we are unable to find short matching English translations...unfortunately our non-native devs have to learn complex words they can't barely pronounce :D

Most of the time we try to use English for technical identifiers and German for business langugage, leading to lets say "interesting" code, but it works for us.

OMG, the second screenshot might be actually the application i am working on right now ...

Oh theres also a German version. Can't wait to play this. Thank you very much for the hint.

When I read this I was like "Oh, that sounds like my family calendar / collaborative productivty app I am working on for months ". And in the last sentence he mentions

> I wanted an app that combines Todos, Habits, Planner, Goals, Pomodoros, Meal tracking, Fasting, Hydration, Packing, Trips, and many many more features.

Surprised Pikachu face.

We use this tool in our team regularly for comparison of PDFs we obtain from third party services that might have changed after code-changes on our side. Big thanks to the author <3

Yes, I do that. But in my case it is mostly products that are months or even years after BBE. I think most waste we produce is from bread. Got a little better when we started baking ourselves.

I was born in Poland and we moved to Germany when I was a kid. As a child I learned it quite easily (and fortunately I was on a school full of migrant children - today you would call it "Problemschule" here in Germany, I guess - so nobody laughed at me), but my parents still don't get used to it after more than 30 years and struggle with it on a daily basis.

This is just wrong if you despise the concept of paid work at all. I spend these 8 hours a day because I am forced to. I need to pay for food and shelter, for my kids education and all the other stuff. If this wasn't the case I would give a fuck and spent all the time with my family, play video games and just live from day to day.

Choosing an IT-career is just the least evil for me.

Yes, but Li-Ion is not the topic here. RC-cars usually use LiPo / Lithium-Polymer batteries which are quite more "dangerous".

I just started RC cars with my kids and made first contact with LiPos and find it quite scary. A lipo counts already as damaged when the voltage drops below 3V so you have to use equipment permanently checking the voltage. In RC cars you mostly use some kind of buzzer that fires when a certain threshold value was reached. A "damaged" LiPo might catch fire randomly.

Also you have to store them in fire-proof LiPo bags and recharge them regularly to prevent voltage drops below 3V.

Am I the only one who is not maintaining some kind of private Github repo? I am doing this job for the money and not the "coding fun". If I had the urge to code more, I would just do more hours in my regular job and get paid for that.

Tell that my team mates putting all stuff into libraries because "we made that already" and building a huge distributed monolith. We combined sucessfully the worst of both worlds!

So did the cut out have any positive effects on your mental or physical health? Do you suffer from symptoms like CFS or BFS or other something that might potentially be triggered by stress?

Yes, wanted to write the same. I met many of those experts, and some of them try even blame the patient as some kind of "psycho" when the symptoms dont match any text book definitions.

But to be honest: There are also some motivated and honest doctors. If you find one of these, stick to them.
