I like coding, talking with users, and AI

@CeliaBedelia I knew Americans who did. Teaching style is different than the US. It’s more of a learn yourself style in Freie (and Germany in generally) as far as I understood it. Some likes that and some hated it

@bobbyfijan @ResonateVision @JohnsonEmma TK is the year before K and they have less spots - but yeah it’s a lot easier now in 2026 to get your AA K spot .. likely because most families moved out of SF because of the lottery

@nic_amadio Something off with this one. He spends 40k (80k household) a year and lives “luxurious” in Berlin?

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@mayukh_panja Also hard to truly FIRE in Germany (not lean fire)

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@vrexec Thoughts on staying in NL til your kids are done high school?

Shark tank but with German judges and American contestants

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@vrexec Prior awards yes but most companies have yearly RSU performance based awards to counter this

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@vrexec Love this type of content. I’ve got a young family, and we’re unsure where to live long term in EU/CA/US too

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@vrexec Thoughts about moving to walkable area in US instead of Europe? (Certain parts of SF and NYC)

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@peer_rich Will agents even care about .com vs other domains?

[dax @thdxr]

the most significant criteria for people i want to work with:

if i have a half baked weird thought is their instinct to say “but obviously that won’t work”

or is to suspend disbelief and go on the ride with me

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@GergelyOrosz There’s nuance to this. What does “handled 95%” mean? There’s a big difference between legitimately solving the users issues vs making it so hard to get help that 95% of people give up. AI helps the former become a reality

@CollinRugg I’m impressed he fit 50 phones in his pants

@nearcyan North American*

@ledwards Some EU countries are easier for parents with young children. In Germany we get free daycare (at least 2K a month in US for good care), free health insurance, typically more vacation, and unlimited sick time including taking work off for children’s sickness

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@levelsio Just say you’ll do a chargeback and you’ll get the refund. Even if you don’t use a credit card I say this and it usually works

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@hanrelan Really cool. Is the source code available? I built a similar rule based private chrome extension for myself but this is way more effective

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@lufthansa All flights from Frankfurt to Orlando have the bassinet seats “reserved” forever. Does it make sense that a baby is (a) flying on each flight for the next year and (b) reserved a bassinet seat already? I’ve included a screenshot sample of 4 random dates with booked bassinet seats

[Jay Chiarella @JayChiarella93]

@lufthansa we booked a flight from Frankfurt to Orlando (10 hour flight), and we want to know if we can reserve the bassinet seats. We’ve called 7 times, visited in person, and nobody can help despite all bassinet seats being “reserved” for the flight for the next year
