Strict also doesn't mean 'always' in the Netherlands. There are exceptions.

Great video from “Koot en Bie”! Thanks for bringing up old memories.

Paraphrasing Dijkstra: “Using static code analysis shows the presence, not the absence of bugs.”

See: (1) “Finding Heartbleed with CodeSonar”, (2) “Why Do Software Assurance Tools Have Problems Finding Bugs Like Heartbleed?”

I don’t think so. Building software is a creative process that benefits from team diversity in multiple aspects. You need both young and older people. I’m 54 and still going strong. :-)

Also, not every ‘new’ development is as new as it appears; “Old is the New New”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbgsfeGvg3E

It shouldn’t be too difficult to find a tech job in Munich (see links below).

I am based in the Netherlands (Eindhoven area) and our company is hiring people from all over the world. After the initial CV screening, the hiring process consists of a Skype interview. If you get passed that, you’re invited for a visit to meet several people on site. Etc.

What kind of job are you looking for?
