Background: I had a bit of background before starting (Slovenian Gymnasium, but I HATED GERMAN and barely passed in the last year), but it was mostly radio (@deutschlandfunk ) and getting immersed in the language. Eg. listening when people spoke and trying to read even if I didn’t get everything. If you are interested, I can share more.
How’s your German?

edit 10.4.: The €2,530 is not the poverty threshold, but "corresponds to two thirds of the median wage in Germany and is a common indicator of an increased risk of poverty."
Berlin’s income divide: €6,438 (brutto/gross) median in Alter Schlachthof vs 34% poverty risk in Spandau. Inside the S-Bahn Ring earns significantly more than outer districts. [Source: Berlin-Brandenburg Statistical Office, linked in newsletter number 142] #berlin
I asked Bela Wiertz (@belawiertz ) from @tech.europe One Question on what he’d change as Berlin mayor.
Build on Tempelhofer Feld, put up more skyscrapers (as housing, not offices), and push for direct BER connections to SF and beyond. No more flying via Munich & Frankfurt.
Would you build on Tempelhof?

Berlin's 2026 Salary Trends numbers are out.
Median is €80,000, up 4.6% from last year. The raw gender gap is at 17.6%, but once you adjust for role, experience, seniority, and company size, it shrinks to 6.6%. Read much more in the full report, now live at handpickedberlin.com

Together with @orsodelamer we hosted our fourth Insider’s Dinner Club last weekend. This time, we travelled all the way to Korea — to Chuncheon, to be exact.
We took over BAMNAT (@bamnat030 ) for an evening dedicated to Chuncheon-Dakgalbi, the chicken dish Häran (@haeran_ber ) grew up with. Hearing her tell the story of her hometown while we shared the pan was something special.
Hosted by the wonderful Häran Kim herself.

BREAKING: this is huuuge
Google just made reviews a bit more useful in Germany, so you can now see who is using defamation template lawyers to remove negative reviews
(yes, this is actually a thing!)
I checked a few usual suspects in town and... yeah, plus points Google!
Lili Vogelsang (@lilivogelsang ) from @fredie.app on why loneliness is rising.
Three culprits: social media creates the illusion of connection so you stop actually checking in on people; structural shifts like WFH and self-checkout removed accidental human contact; and there are almost no free spaces left to just meet people. She also admitted her phone is on greyscale. Relatable.

I asked Isabelle BedĂŞ, co-founder of @spaetistories (@belliebd ), One Question on her most memorable episode.
Robert lost his wife to a brain tumor. He wasn’t bitter — he was grateful. In the same episode, Krista found new life by becoming a mom in Berlin, something she never wanted before. One episode about life and death, and the raw stories you don’t usually hear.

One Question with Bela Wiertz (@belawiertz ) from @tech.europe on what Berlin is missing.
A world-class, high-throughput technology university. The TU is big but not world-class. Unicorn founders get invited to speak across Europe, but never from TU Berlin?
The fix? Build a big company and fund it. Munich had BMW money. Berlin needs its own.
