"First, you work all month, and then you give half of the money to those who couldn't work." fixed the wording for you.
It sounds like Taxes in Berlin are extremely effective. In the US my Taxes seem to just vanish.

#12For me the worst part is that I can use a keyboard to write code but only use a single pointer from my mouse to move stuff. It’s so much slower

#13vas3k is a wonderful blogger, glad his page made it to HN. He has technical stories on the site, but it's non-technical ones which I consider real gifts to his readers.

#14It is me or “no code” is just “Unix way” of cloud world?
if Unix utilities could do a thousand different things instead of just one - then yes :)
Re: No Code
#15The second sentence ("First, you work all month, and then you give half of the money to those who didn't work.") is already so blatantly wrong and reactionary that I almost have to force myself to read on - after all, if the premise is already flawed what good can come of it?

The biggest chunk of those taxes are mandatory government insurance programs. The government may or may not be running them poorly but you can definitively say that the money is being used for a specific purpose.

It's not helpful for anybody to be able to write their own services, even if they cannot code? Everyone who can't code, would disagree with you. Sure, they can spend some free time to pickup programming, and maybe after a lot of reading and practicing, would be able to build the flow in a programming language, but why do that when you could just drag and drop logic blocks until it solves your particular problem, then move on to what you really care about?

Because drag and dropping blocks is the same difficulty as writing it down just with more steps.
The difficulty isn't in writing the code, but specifying exactly what you want to do.

The entire article is full of this kind of humor; you like it or you do not.
