Yeah? I always thought Germany was the bastion of non-individuality.

I would say it is a weird mix. For some things very conservative, for others "I don't care at all" and few (healthy) middle way

You see it in cars, the way people dress. The UK and US, people individualise stuff, you dont see this much on the continent at all. One of the big differences between our cultures.

Yes, but only on your TV shows. And now give me some time to select the right music before I goose step to the toilet. Prussia's Glory or the Badonville March? And I leave it to you why Hägar thought there was some superstition here about leaving a hat[^] on a chair.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

No, not just on TV, not at all, it is quite common to customise cars here.
For crapping definitely Wagner!

The Valkyries are a little uverused. Besides that, I will need them when I finally get to maiden the Huey. Let's use something else. This should be suitable: Wagner - Das Rheingold - Entry of the Gods Into Valhalla[^]

Camel Case, Software Developer.
It is MY visit card and I am a developer, not a developement. As for the camel case, it's business practice and it really makes word stand up - lower case makes the second word less important, yet Software Developer is well different from Software Architect or Engineer. I think of them as tags more than words...

I cannot wait for the day when my card will be:
Adam
Senior
"If we don't change direction, we'll end up where we're going"

You mean because you get a "Adam junior"? (Congratulations? or not on the way yet?)

Well that was another reading... I was referring to retirement!

Don't waste paper.
You don't need a professional card.
In my 30+ years of being a professional, I never ever needed to have cards.
They used to give them to us when we started, but they never been used and get recycled.
For example, If you go to conferences, you will be given a name tag with a qr code; if you go visit a sister company, you don't need it they already have your email, if you go to a client, they already know who you are.
The only reason to have professional card is to give them to your grandparents to show that you are someone important enough to have cards.
I'd rather be phishing!

I find that they come in very if you need to make notes about something (assuming they have a blank backside)

That's actually why I wanted to order them. I am attending one in a couple of weeks and I actually got the advice to bring some, to be able to give them if I get to meet interesting people (networking and so)

A description needs to be at least 3 sentences. I usually sign with the job-title that is on the contract.
That is, for emails. Been given paper visiting cards at each company I worked for, and never used them in over 20 years

Even if I could remember they have a web site and the password I probably couldn't remember how to spell the URL!

You know you've been programming too much when you whip out a quick email and notice that every sentence ends with a ";" and not a ".".
