I’m the person to show up four hours early to a flight, then complain about crowded airport lounges. I wonder if I can expense the cost of the private terminal in Munich 🤔

Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and now Qatar. Israeli aggression and Zionist oppression has to stop, now! It’s time to sanction and isolate Israel like we have isolated and sanctioned Russia for their invasion of Ukraine!

The German healthcare system can’t tolerate “my meds work and I’d rather not make any changes”. FFS. Back to looking for doctors and therapists that have an open wait list.

25 countries call on Hamas to release the hostages and on Israel to end its war on Gaza. Germany is not joining the statement, apparently our government still hasn’t gotten rid of its genocidal habit.

Let’s call this what it is: forced displacement of an entire population. As horrible as the events of October 7th were, nothing justifies razing an entire city to the ground. Enough is enough.

Deprecating the implicitly nullable parameter in #PHP 8.4 had a huge cost for the maintainers. Even if there are solutions to automate the fixes, that breaks almost all old code with very low value for developers.
My article about fixing this is by far the most popular I have ever published.
