I'd say not all guys enjoy the kind of "guy talk" you're describing ... maybe it's harmless in your experience but it can be quite aggressive, or perceived as such, even if you're not emotionally bothered by it.
It's especially terrible if you have to go along in the workplace because you're talking to your boss and are expected to laugh about his (potentially charged) "funny quips" because "guy talk", amirite? Ugh ..
If you didn't like it, you'd probably make it shown in one way or another. And they wouldn't do it to you. There were several salespeople that didn't really know how or want to take part, and you simply didn't talk to them unless it was about work.
Hmm in German you could also say "Betriebssicherheit" (safety) vs. "Angriffssicherheit" (security), or at least that always was the translation that made most sense to me personally.
I'd say native speakers of German distinguish it but it depends on the context ... talking about computers, it's typically more about security, while when talking about construction sites, it's typically more about safety.
But they are both "Sicherheit" since in compound words the main word is the last word. You could say "Ist dein Haus sicher?" and mean "is your house secure" if a burglar is targeting your neighbourhood or "is your house safe" if a storm is passing over it. You can distinguish both cases with context or compound words, but it's not generally done.
Hehe totally, even though it's a bit overwhelming ... I've been active in live coding scene for years now (and my little language is on that list), yet I still don't know all of these ...
But I guess there's something for every language and skill level there ...
On that note, Bevy, a game engine in Rust, is looking to upgrade and improve how audio is being done in the engine, and they accept contributors of all skill levels, and are a very welcoming community :)
One of the key aspects of the live coding scene was, and still is to a certain degree, to provide a contrast to this kind of perfectionism. To allow people to experiment, and allow or even encourage them to fail, live on stage, rather than playing it safe.
It recently has changed a little with the advancement of more stable and mature live coding systems (there's plenty, really ... even my own is pretty stable by now) and more formats addressing a more general audience.
Personally, though, I'll forever cheer harder for a person hacking together a sampler in plain C in 9 minutes than a "stable" performance.
I'd find it sad to see the live coding scene totally going down the Apple road, from a vibrant, proudly amateurish scene to one that is "professionalized", stable, but profoundly bland.
Well, to do my part in scaring potential expats away, air pollution and noise pollution (it's LOUD) are pretty bad here and you might find lead pipes and asbestos in your building. If you live in a bajo (ground floor) in the old town, expect cockroaches the size of mice (they are quick). Depending on where you are, the tap water tastes like the water from a children's swimming pool. Depending on where you live, your barrio might smell like a sewer on certain days (even the expensive ones). Population density is very high, so expect to hear a part of your neighbors' lives, walls are often thin.
Never seen shirtless guys with machetes anywhere, day or night. Crime (apart from pickpocketing) never struck me as a huge problem (not above general big-city levels), neither pre- nor post-Covid, and I don't live in the best part of town for sure. But all the stuff above I personally experienced.
Hmm I don't agree, really, and I live in BCN, for 5 years now. People living here twice as long tell me how bad it was in the early 2000s, and it's nowhere like that today.
There's pickpocketing, sure, but it's not at all the hellhole you describe, seriously. Not sure where you got that from.
I lived in BCN for 4 years before the pandemic, I know how it was before.

I’ve been here for just over a week, in that time I’ve been robbed twice. Once by a knife-wielding gang that slashed my tires as I was driving
My friends in the Mossos tell me that this is has all become super common after COVID, before such attacks would’ve been unheard of. Pretty much all of my local friends agree that everything has gone to shit after COVID bankrupted half the city.
It might be simple demographic differences leading us to experience this differently. Of course I’m more likely to be targeted driving a newish S-class than the guy in a Dacia, but this wasn’t something you had to worry about before.
In that days, designing on paper was probably just the default mode of working ...
