It’s a joke how friendly people are and how it’s expected to strike a conversation with your neighbors.
To the point that when picking a spot you might think « no, not this one I need some space »
None are touristy, I live there since 10 years and it’s been a constant.
You don’t made real connection. But a crew of accointanc. In that decade I met one guy that became a close friend.
But .. so much people I would wave at and say hi.
I’be been the developer in your trio. 3 or 4 years in noname large consulting stuff.
Lead of a teams of joyful green horns in a loosely specify environment. Delivering shit software on loosy deadline.
And then I switch to place where everyone is pretty senior.
It’s less fun, I like to explain stuff and kinda miss it.
But damn, not having to manage junior allow me to just produce large chunk of code faster.
And knowing that the guy next door is solid as well allow us to agreed on a contract and call it a day. ( it actually works )
I have little interaction with my coworker and yet our review are actual review. Syntax or petty issue are rarely mentioned. We agreed on linter months ago.
Anyway; sorry. Long détour to say that as much as I enjoy getting down with the stragglers, being in a mature team is pretty great.
Most of the time I store locations and compute distance to them. Would that being faster to implement with duckdb
