I don't vibecode

code monkey see — code monkey do
Radio/TV technician aspiring to become a code monkey (German: Codeschubse). Generated income by making websites, –apps and –shops 20+ years ago. Used PHP/Laravel & Backpack. Encountered C and Python/Flask some time ago at HarvardX and also Java at an SAP internship. Will use other languages ungrudgingly. Looking for an apprenticeship or job in IT security, system integration or web/app development (remote or somewhere near Heidelberg, Germany). Prefer ethical work over high income.
Originally I'm an apprenticed and qualified radio and television technician and worked several years in a workshop as well as in retail as customer service
employee and salesman. And I drove trucks for a living before I began retraining as programmer.
Because I don't like lotteries, I will not randomly learn new languages just in case somewhere out there might by chance be an employer who needs someone
with that skill.
You tell me what knowledge and skill you need me to have and I will learn it.
Around the turn of the millennium I was an official of the Heidelberg Darts League. Since back then there was no software available to administer a darts league, everything was done with pen and paper. But programming was my hobby since I got several Commodore computers in the 80s, so the solution was obvious: I built the software myself in PHP and MySQL as a web app, complete with frontend, showing the matches, results and automatically calculated standings of all matchdays, the teams and players, and a backend for the officials to register teams and players and their transfers and enter the results. The League is defunct for years now, hence I did not continue maintaining the software. Also back then there was neither git nor github, the code is buried somewhere on an old harddisk at the bottom of a moving carton in the attic, and thus cannot be presented anywhere as proof. My word will have to suffice.
Yeah, the HarvardX course “CS50x Introduction in Computer Sciences” is an introduction only, I know. It's in the name. But if you don't think,
that's an accomplishment worth mentioning, then I don't want to work for you.

For my internship at SAP I had to use Eclipse as IDE. I'd totally do it again, but I'd rather if you didn't make me. Also Java is the .gif among the
programming languages. Is it yava or tshava?

I have ADHD, so in order to not forget half the stuff when shopping I need several shopping lists — one for each shop. Or do I?

Occasionally I also make mods for video games. Sovereign's Spare Key is the first I published free to access for everyone on the Nexusmods platform. It's a mod for the RPG “Baldur's Gate 3” by Larian Studios. They provide a special modding environment for the game, which I used to create this mod. A detailed description on the mod is provided on the mod's page at Nexusmods…
If you'd like to talk to me, and I'd very much appreciate if you did, you can send an email or message me.
“Yes, of course I will contact you” you say “but what's with that painting?”
