Development of software and myself

In this blog, I describe my view and experience as a remote-only developer. I tell of the books that I read for my further development and report on the thoughts that are initiated. My focus is to escape the comfort zone and to share the knowledge gained.

I am happy about every new person who accompanies me on this way. If you want to become part of the way, let's get a modern work or your daily challenges through the "Why" in life. If not, that's OK and I wish you a lot of fun with my blog YADL - Yet Another Developer Learning.

Weekly review cw 43

My exchange student asked me how I could read several books at once, as if it were like watching several TV shows. But each book serves a different purpose: one inspires, one solves problems, one relaxes. This conversation reminded me how much reading shapes my thinking—and that true learning only begins when you retain knowledge, not just consume it.

Krosann Saga - The Soul Spear (Volume 5)

The entire world of Krosann is in chaos, plagued by civil war and violence. In the midst of it all, the heroes try to find their way. Sam finds time for the side characters.
