Ha, I'll steal that! "Karen compiler" - quite fitting, to be honest.

Maybe it’s not your profession but a hobby but the point stands.
To be honest, I've hardly ever asked myself how I could best please a potential employer with any of my hobbies. But I recognise that you're probably taking a different approach.
It also expands your employment potential and general usefulness.
I have already mentioned that programming is not everyone's profession. Not everyone chooses what they do in their unpaid free time primarily based on whether it makes them a more useful person. I think the very phrase ‘my usefulness’ is dangerous.
Are we only worth something as drones?
Why? I mean, I, personally, try to be as polyglot as possible, but not everyone working on the Linux kernel is even interested in doing anything that's not C kernel code, nor is it their profession.
even though Rust is objectively better.
In some of its characteristics, Rust is certainly a good language. The borrow checker, however, still haunts my restless dreams today.
Developers who are not willing to learn something new and not adapt are the worst.
And this is why COBOL developers are desperately needed these days: because too many people think that "old" was the same thing as "needs a replacement".
Any recommendations for printers that don't require proprietary inks, subscriptions or special apps?
They have not.
Jetzt lernt man hier noch was über Stadtplanung. Verdammt. (Danke.)
Eben. Die Wähler sind nicht allesamt - wahrscheinlich nicht mal größtenteils - dumm, sondern ihnen gehen schlicht die vernünftigen Alternativen aus. Wer von allen anderen gewählten Parteien im Stich gelassen wird, der nimmt halt irgendwann die letzte, die noch übrig ist.
(Pfff, wenn ich hier versuche, die allzu einfache Antwort "AfD-Wähler alle dohf" begründet zu kritisieren, hagelt's Runterwählis. Wankelmütiges Volk hier.)
Ja, das gewählte Parlament sollte sich auf einen Ministerpräsidenten einigen, denn so war es ja letztes Mal auch. Da waren die stärksten Fraktionen in Thüringen Linke, CDU und AfD. Die CDU hat sich im letzten Wahlgang enthalten und die AfD ihren Kandidaten zurückgezogen.
Diesmal sind die Mehrheitsverhältnisse andere, aber ich sehe wenig Anlass, das Verfahren deshalb zu ändern. Du denn?
For those depending on COBOL code that does the job and has been doing it just well for a few decades, there are approximately zero good reasons to not stick with it.
