I currently reside in the US and am looking to move to Europe (most likely Germany) some time in the next three years. Has anybody made this journey and have some insights to share?

I'm particularly wondering if there are any technical skills I should hone to give me leverage in the job market when the time comes. Or opposite, any "bad habits" I may have picked up from US companies that simply don't exist in European engineering culture or decision making. Are the interview processes similar to the US?

I've been using a dry erase whiteboard for decades and am in the market for something different. Someone mentioned in another thread they were using some kind of magnetic board (maybe it wasn't magnets, I can't remember 100%) but I can't find anything like this online.

Anybody have any recommendations?

I maintain a handful of browser extensions and one of them is gaining traction. I'm now looking for marketing avenues and curious to hear from anyone that may have gone down this path before.

Since it appears the Firefox and Chrome stores themselves don't offer any kind of visibility-boosting features, are there any other tools/services you've found useful to increase the number of active weekly users?

The more I lean into LLMs for my daily job, the less I find myself reading published documentation. A lot of time has historically been put into having really good, human-readable docs but I'm wondering if that will shift. If a service's documentation was written in a way optimized for training, what might it look like?

I propose choosing a day of the week when any posts mentioning AI never appear on the front page of HN. Maybe I'm getting old but it all just seems so exhausting. While taking days off is, of course, an option, I enjoy coming here; there are lots of good topics between the current hype.

Accessing Reddit for the last week or so on a VPN has been a pain. If I click a search result in Kagi or Google, it shows the message "Your request has been blocked due to a network policy."

The only way to get around it is by modifying the domain from `www.reddit.com` to `old.reddit.com`. Does this smell like the beginning of the inevitable end of `old.reddit.com` to anyone else?
