Oh wow! Thanks! "Build your own X" as search term on HN really is great resource - and a rabbit hole I guess...

Thanks for the reply, I'll look out for the book!

Thanks! The idea of templates is great, i think!

Also just pushing ahead is just what I need to do and later refactor. I always tend to stop, when I feel something I am about to do should be done better, but don't really know how.

Thanks, I'll look into Software Architecture while also just pushing ahead and prepare for some heavy refactoring!

Ask HN: How to go from scripting to Programming/Architecture?

Hey everyone,I am a self-taught programmer/scripter. I had a lot of exposure to different programming languages on a project basis. C#, JS, Python, VB and others. And I am fine with implementing the small things/scripts needed.But I struggle when things get more complicated. I start to overthink things and then often drop the project or end up with something that is hard to maintain.How do I...

I would say, a lot of it has to do with style? Even if something is necessary - and I have now idea if it is - but even if, there are better, more friendly and respectful ways of dealing with all of this right?

Assuming you are somewhere in IT and earn above the average, you will be okay-ish. People with lower incomes will benefit less. But if you look at that receipt and consider inflation, the extreme rise in rent in Germany, etc and all of that over maybe 20-30 years from you ending your career. It becomes less. There are adjustments for inflation, but still.

These high pension values are also quite sure to be unsustainable for the government, as the workforce shrinks quite dramatically and people still get older.

Generally, people are advised to put some money for retirement on the side, if they can. If you are in a position to put some money aside probably try to do some research. "Geldanlage für Faule" by Sina Groß is a very down to earth starting place.

As a european though, it is absolutely crazy to see you can do this on a day by day basis. Here you would have at least 1 month, more likely 3 month, prior notice to just being kicked out and having your accounts closed. You would also have to state a business reason for people who are employed as fixed staff. This gives people time to react to these kinds of things.

Edit: Sorry, this refers to a comment further below: Also, comparing this to the pandemic is kinda crazy, isn't it? It's one thing to have a global scale event effecting the lives of billions and another of just buying a company for way tooo much because you wanted to make a dumb joke about smoking weed.

America truely is a heartless, dystopian society...
