I do ship an IM GUI application to a small group of users and they will not know or care, as long as it does the job it needs to do. What made me choose this approach: I do not need another language/technology for my UI. Composition of the UI is done like I compose code: using functions/objects. I could see this approach failing on bigger projects or when you would have a dedicated designer doing the UI/UX stuff. As long as only programmers are working on the project I think it's fine and quite easy to understand for others what's going on in the 'UI code'.
By choosing your village carefully you'll also get decent public transport to bigger cities (1h by train every hour to Stuttgart for us, 2h to Lake Constance).
For example we were considering this one: https://www.immobilienscout24.de/expose/133826271 But it was just too big for us. Add another 50-80k for upgrading the heating to a renewable one, some roof insulation and you're at 480k for 220sqm.
I'd expect that you'd find similar objects in like 1-2h around Berlin.
No idea how you cannot find a place in germany with 200k/y. I make about half of that and that's me providing a single income for our family and still saving up some money for the future. I'm not self-employed but with 200k income you should still have more left at the end of the month than we do, and we're doing fine (but we also don't need fancy cars or have fancy expensive hobbies)
I was thinking of adding/integrating new processes. That’s imho the harder task because you usually have less data to work with.
Also try to mimic the other applications your clients are using regularly - even when the UX is bad. It’s easier for them to remember one broken workflow than multiple.
Family? Quit/Pause your job. At least for half a year. You’re trying to rush a relationship, that’s just not possible. Go traveling, stay at least two weeks in one place. If you like it stay longer. Meet people in parks, bars, at the beach.
This was how I met my wife. We would have almost nothing in common if we wrote a dating profile but when we talk to each other and are close to each other none of this matters. And it’s difficult because we’re from different countries, speaking different languages, have a vastly different culture. We fought A LOT about language, it’s still difficult to have a more in depth conversation but none of that matters.
Kids: any. If we cannot get our own, we’ll adopt. Who cares if the kid is your own?
Apparently you’ve been in a LTR and let it slip because you need your kids to be based on your DNA. That’s your decision, for us this fact is basically irrelevant.
I usually don’t because DearImgui exists and I usually do simulation stuff which benefits from the immediate mode approach.
What’s your frontend used for? If the progress bar is everything then maybe you should just build a command line app.
40% ~ 400MW of this coal plant go directly to DB. They argue that it’s only used for freight and not for public transport but meh - a useless differentiation IMO.
Fun to watch their DC :)

It's code golf/some puzzles on a 15 minute timer in versus mode. Extra fun with twitch streamers or with coworkers because you can discuss the mess after you made it.
So get a FAANG manager position.
With that attitude towards your chosen profession you can do all the leetcoding you want and still don't get a job.
I actually never heard of Leetcode before this thread but I highly doubt that. This seems to be a puzzle site like Codewars or Codingame. While puzzles like that are fun, they are only one small part of being a developer. Design, architecture, UI/UX and communication are a lot more valuable than being able to write your own Sudoku Solver.
