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.

Krosann Saga - The Murderess Crow (Volume 1)

After the first two chapters, I wanted to put the book down. A spoiled little prince lives his boring everyday life – not very exciting and not a likeable character in any way. Fortunately, I kept reading. The prince develops, and the book's namesake is introduced, who brings with her an incredibly unique way of thinking and acting. Logical. And above all, captivating.

Before that, the narrative delves into many details and slows down the pace to make the finale all the more spectacular. I wish Bernhard had devoted more time and pages to the many heroes and their roles a…
