What I’m doing now

Marriage

I got married on May 12th:

Uni

I finished my Bachelor in applied computer science in March of this year.

Work

I'm working full-time at Endava, where I nowadays work on a big Symfony App.

Apartment

We moved out to the country-side last August. Nice and quiet, cheap rent, forrest nearby. We're going to Berlin regularly though. To come into the office and see friends and family.

Media

Ongoing Comics and Manga

Where I'm on the latest chapter or issue. That is: I'm reading them as they come out.

Ordered by my current enjoyment:

• Kingdom
  • What this is: Largescale warfare in ancient china.
  • Why is it worth reading: An epic tale where you get to see the characters grow over time and through hard battles. Very satisfying progess. I've never seen anything of this scope. Discusses the inner workings, economics, politics and logistics of state-level warfare.
• Onepunch-Man
  • What this is: Superheroes but the main character can beat everything in one punch.
  • Why is it worth reading: Funny, good fights and a huge cast of side characters with a lot of different perspectives that clash in large-scale battles.
• My Home Hero
  • What this is: You're a normal guy that has just murdered somebody to save their daugther. What do you do now?
  • Why is it worth reading: Realistic world wherein the details matter. It feels like a real scenario instead of a concocted story. The first part is well worth a read as our dad ingenuitively finds himself in various sticky situations. The second part still has to pan out for me.
• Omniscient Reader
  • What this is: A nerd is the only person reading a disaster web-novel that ends up becoming true. He makes use of the knowledge gained.
  • Why is it worth reading: Gets more and more elaborate as it goes along. Best I've seen in the video-game-like genre of Manwa. Unlike Solo Leveling this has kept the bar consistently high.
• Show-ha Shoten!
  • What this is: Two high-schoolers trying to become the best duo in comedy.
  • Why is it worth reading: Stays fun and dynamic despite the simple premise.
• Undead Unluck
  • What this is: Abilities based on negating something. In case of the main characters "death" and "luck".
  • Why is it worth reading: It's a superhero epic. They assemble a cast and beat impossible monsters.
• The Fable
  • What this is: The worlds best hitman is told to take a break and spend a year among regular people.
  • Why is it worth reading: The story paints real characters that find themselves in unfamiliar circumstances. The manga does not shy away from adult themes (unlike Shonen Jumps Sakamoto Days) and just keeps you engaged.
• Stillwater
  • What this is: Going in blind is best. Not a scenario I've seen before though. The political and personal ramifications of the scenario are explored.
  • Why is it worth reading: Getting thrown into the scenario along the with main character is exciting. Jury is still out on the current arc (by far the shorted comic on here).
