Don't be like me and get stuck in a months-long loop of waking up and going to bed with nothing but work on your mind. Do something that gives you life.

once again,

> The word horseradish came about because the English misunderstood the German word “meerrettich” which means "sea radish". The word "meer" was swapped to "mare" (a female horse) even though the plant has absolutely nothing to do with horses

Meanwhile Russian: The word for horseradish means penis, and can also be used as a key part of "fuck it", "bad", "good", "I cannot believe it" and "you're out of your mind".

So I'm looking for a job again...
As a software engineer with 15 years of experience, some of it as a sole architect, some of it leading a team, working mostly on medium-scale systems with complex backends (having worked in e-commerce, utilities, banking/payments, etc). Plus a formal education in theoretical mathematics.
Primary experience is with C#/.NET and also TS/Node.js (can also do React).
But also want to try Rust or FP languages (such as elixir), and open to any stack basically (I can learn fast!) and any industry (besides cryptocurrencies or law enforcement or shit like that of course).
Been both commended and criticized for meticulous code review, setting a high bar of code quality, focusing on other developers experience, and not letting at least some of the bugs and vulnerabilities creep by.
Some of my code and projects are at https://oomza.cutegay.software/inga-lovinde ; another example is https://oomza.cutegay.software/blahaj-in-the-middle/architecture/src/branch/main/docs

I only speak English (but trying to learn German and Spanish).
And the employer needs to be in EU (preferably in Berlin, or it will have to be up to 100% remote depending on the distance to Berlin); I have an unrestricted work permit in Germany.
Hoping for an inclusive and diverse place (I would add a pleading emoji here but it will probably be misinterpreted by a target audience ).

Fuck! 😥😡 Die britische Regierung bestätigt die Auslieferung von #JulianAssange an die USA. Dem #WikiLeaks-Gründer drohen bis zu 175 Jahre Haft.

Everybody loves trains

Just spoke to my coworker who has been working for the state for over a decade and found out that I make more money than they do by a significant margin. I have not been in this position for even a year yet. Benefit is we have a union and they now get to have a conversation to get paid what they are worth. Don't let companies tell you not to talk about compensation. That allows them to get away with taking advantage of people.

Liebe Bundesregierung, bitte Glasfaser statt Blockchain, okaydanketschüss.
