How is it to live in Slagelse, Denmark?
I’m considering moving to Slagelse with my family and commuting to Copenhagen for work a few times a week. How do you like living there, and which areas would you recommend or avoid?

Hej alle,
Vi overvejer vores boligsituation og vil gerne have lidt input fra dkfinance.
Rammeforhold:
* Familie på 3.
* Opsparing: 150k kontant + 150-200k i aktier.
* Max låneramme: 4,5 mio. kr.
* Ønsker: 3-4 værelser.
* Kriterier: Natur eller hav, helst med direkte tog til KBH (vi er ikke låst på én by, har kigget på f.eks. Holbæk og Præstø – selvom Præstø mangler toget).
Mine spørgsmål:
Prisforhandling: På Boligsiden ser jeg ofte, at de offentlige ejendomsvurderinger ligger 1-1,5 mio. kr. under udbudspris. Hvor meget kan man realistisk byde under udbudsprisen i de områder?
Køb vs. Leje (Almen bolig): Da liggetiderne kan være lange i provinsen, vi er bange for at brænde inde med et hus, hvis vi fortryder. Vi har stået i KAB/AAB i 6-7 år. Er det klogere at gå efter et alment rækkehus til 8-10k/md. i områder som Holbæk frem for at købe?
Placering af kontanter (1-3 år): Vi planlægger boligskift i 1-3 år. Hvordan placerer vi bedst de 150k kontanter i den mellemliggende periode?
Tak for jeres svar!
Bemærk: Jeg har brugt AI til at strukturere mine tanker og ideer, men har selv skrevet teksten.

Hej,
Er der nogen her, der arbejder eller har arbejdet hos Flatpay, som vil dele lidt om, hvordan det er at arbejde der?
Jeg er især nysgerrig på kulturen, arbejdsmiljøet, benefits, karrieremuligheder og mulighederne for faglig udvikling.
Jeg ved, at man som udgangspunkt skal være på kontoret 5 dage om ugen, hvilket ikke er helt ideelt for mig. Derfor er jeg nysgerrig på, om der er andre ting ved Flatpay, som opvejer det.
Hvordan oplever I det i praksis? Både positive og negative erfaringer er meget velkomne.
We are starting to think more and more about moving further away from Copenhagen.
Now that we have kids, we would really like some more space, ideally a house, but we also want somewhere a bit quieter than Copenhagen.
Another important part for us is financial freedom. We do not necessarily want to spend everything we can afford on a house just to stay close to Copenhagen. We would rather find a place where we can get more space while still having some room in our budget to live, save and enjoy things with the family.
So far I have been looking at places like Præstø, Holbæk and Frederikssund, although Frederikssund seems a bit more expensive, and Præstø is on the cheaper side where it looks like you can still find houses for around 2 million DKK.
The main concern for me is work. I would still need to commute to Copenhagen a few times a week, potentially 60+ km each way.
For those of you doing something similar, I would love to hear about your personal experiences.
My partner is Danish and does not mind finding something to do in whatever area we move to, so we are fairly flexible regarding location.
We are looking at a budget of around 3 to 3.5 million DKK for a house, but ideally the whole point of moving further out would be to get more for our money and have some financial freedom as well.
Are there any other areas you would recommend where this budget is realistic and the connection to Copenhagen is still reasonable?
Would especially love to hear from people who made the move.
Har jeres virksomhed en grænse for, hvor meget I må bruge AI værktøjer som ChatGPT, Claude eller GitHub Copilot?
Hvis I ikke har en grænse, hvor mange penge bruger jeres virksomhed cirka på AI hver måned?
Jeg er nysgerrig efter at høre, hvordan andre virksomheder håndterer brugen og omkostningerne.
I was using Lavazza Caffè Crema beans with my Sage Barista Pro. My grinder was set to 17 with a grinding time of 16 seconds. This consistently produced around 18g of coffee, and the shots were pretty decent.
I then switched to some Ethiopian beans and experimented with different grind settings. I could not find the right setting, so I gave up, completely emptied the grinder, and refilled it with the Lavazza beans.
I returned the grinder to exactly the same settings as before, but now it does not produce 18g within 16 seconds. The coffee also seems much finer than it was previously, even though the grind setting is still 17.
Could some Ethiopian beans still be stuck inside the grinder? Could changing the grind settings have affected the burr position somehow?
Can anyone explain what I might be doing wrong? Are there any tricks for resetting or recalibrating the built in grinder?
Til jer der er gået fuldt remote: hvordan er det?
Grunden til, at jeg overvejer det, er, at jeg lige nu føler, at det er sværere at holde fokus, når jeg arbejder fra kontoret. Der er mange små forstyrrelser i løbet af dagen, og jeg ender ofte med at lave mit mest fokuserede arbejde hjemme alligevel.
Jeg føler også nogle gange, at det er svært at finde folk på kontoret, som har det samme behov for ro og fokuseret arbejde.
Jeg er ikke dansker, men jeg lærer dansk, så der kan være nogle små fejl i teksten.
O să încep primul. Nu am fost niciodată adeptul autocomplete ului sau al tab completion ului în epoca de dinainte de Claude Code. Aș zice că sunt un typist destul de rapid și, cumva, typingul mă ajută și să gândesc în timp ce scriu.
De câteva luni bune, în schimb, am început să folosesc Claude Code pentru orice: creează ticket, mută ticket, implementează feature request, rezolvă bugul ăsta.
Momentan este destul de ușor, pentru că lucrez pe o bucată de code unde știu tot business logicul, iar mare parte a fost construită de mine.
Acum câteva săptămâni am început să lucrez pe un business logic nou, unde am realizat că, dacă nu îi promptez lui Claude, creierul meu nu mai merge la fel.
Acum vreau să încerc să schimb ceva în workflowul meu, pentru că, da, este foarte bine pentru angajator că scoate tot sucul din mine, dar pentru dezvoltarea mea simt că este, de fapt, o subdezvoltare.
Mă gândeam că poate aș putea folosi Claude Code mai mult ca sparring partner, pentru clarificări, idei, structură și direcție, iar pentru implementare să folosesc mai mult tab completion și autocomplete, ca să mă mișc mai repede, dar să rămân totuși mai conectat la code.
Ca și context, am 4, 5 ani de experiență, majoritar în web dev TS/JS full stack.
Sunt curios cum folosiți voi AI ul în workflowul vostru de muncă, ca să văd dacă pot găsi lucruri care să mă inspire.
Credeți că AI ul va fi parte din workflowul nostru în viitor?
Voi mai scrieți code manual?
The machine is brand new, bought in April this year in Denmark.
Current settings:
• Inner burr: 6
• External grind setting: I can't really go lower than 12
I watched several YouTube videos where people recommend an inner burr setting of 3 and an external grind setting around 5, but when I try anything close to that, nothing comes out of the grinder.
The best shot I've managed so far was with:
• Inner burr: 6
• Grind setting: 19
But now I'm wondering if that's actually too coarse. Most of the advice I see online suggests much finer settings, so I'm not sure if something is wrong with my grinder, my beans, or if every machine is simply different.
Has anyone with a Barista Pro had to grind this coarse to get a good extraction? Is it normal to be around grind 19 with the inner burr at 6?
For reference, I'm using Lavazza Espresso Barista beans and aiming for a standard espresso recipe.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I'm looking for recommendations for a black and white eReader with physical page turn buttons. Also, open to color if it's good enough.
I previously owned a Kobo Clara BW, but I ended up selling it. On paper, it seemed perfect, but I just couldn't get comfortable with it. There was always something distracting me while reading. Sometimes it was the font, even after trying different options, and sometimes it was the gap between the screen and the bezels. I can't fully explain it, but the device never clicked with me.
Right now, I really like the form factor of the Onyx Boox Go 7, but I don't have much else to compare it against. The PocketBook Era BW is another option I've looked at, but from the videos I've watched, it seems quite slow, although I know videos don't always tell the full story. Unfortunately, I don't have the option to try either device before buying.
Are there any other devices I should be looking at?
I've also considered the Kindle Paperwhite, but I'm not sure how easy it is to sideload EPUBs. On my Kobo, I was using https://send.djazz.se/, and I noticed it looks like Kindle supports sending books as well, but I've never tried it.
The most important things for me are:
• A very crisp screen with excellent text clarity
• Comfortable reading in bed and in daylight
• Physical page turn buttons if possible
• A device that feels pleasant and distraction-free, for long reading sessions
I've also looked at the Kobo Libra Colour. I don't think I actually need color, but I really like the shape and the button layout.
I'd love to hear from people who have used the Boox Page, PocketBook Era BW, Kindle Paperwhite, Kobo Libra Colour, or anything else that might fit what I'm looking for.
I’m looking to buy a new eReader after my 12 year old Kindle finally gave up.
I have two questions that I’m trying to figure out:
1. Should I get a color eReader or stick with black and white?
I already have an iPad that I use for technical books with diagrams and illustrations, so I don’t necessarily need color. However, after watching some videos, the color screens look really nice. For those who own one, is the color experience worth the extra cost?
2. Should I get a PocketBook or a Kobo?
I’ll mainly be sideloading books and borrowing ebooks from the library.
The only device I’ve been able to see in person was the Kobo Clara. Honestly, it felt a bit cheap because of the plastic construction, especially compared to my old Kindle.
For people who have used both brands, which would you recommend and why?
When you want to learn a new technology, framework, language, or concept, what does your process look like?
Do you mostly use AI tools, documentation, YouTube, courses, building projects, reading source code, or something else?
I would also love to hear the actual steps you take when learning something new. For example, where do you start, how do you practice, and how do you go from beginner to feeling comfortable with it?
I am looking for some inspiration and would love to improve my own learning process.
What’s your personal dev setup?
I’m curious what people are using these days for personal projects.
At work I have an M3 Max, but I don’t really want to use it for personal stuff. At the same time, I don’t love the idea of buying a personal laptop just to have it sitting at home collecting dust.
I’ve been thinking about maybe using a cloud VM / remote dev environment instead and just developing there (SSH, VS Code remote, etc.).
Has anyone here actually gone that route long term?
How does it feel compared to a local machine?
Would love to hear your setups and tradeoffs.
