I live in a polder
-
Do most of you even know what a polder[^] is? :D Well, as a Dutchie, I live in one! It's quite far from the cities, the nearest big city is Rotterdam at a little over 50 km. My current commute to Utrecht is about 100 km (a good hour drive), but luckily I can work from home one or two days a week (out of four). Anyway, I wouldn't want to move because it's just too quiet and beautiful over here! These pictures were taken just outside my house (I live on the edge of the village) where I like to go for walks. It's all farmlands. Fall 2016:

No they're not... Completely different! You can't have farmlands in a swamp! I'm even a little offended by you calling my beautiful island, polder, and home a swamp :laugh: A polder is man-made land that used to be water. Artificial land, if you will. But the soil is as good as any "regular" land, unlike a swamp which is only good to hide bodies :D

But if you drain a swamp you'll get... Oh, I see, yes you're quite right. Move on folks, nothing to see here.

I wouldn't know; I've never had to hide a body. :D

Ever heard of the phrase "Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live."? I'm that violent psychopath :D Dumping bodies is also a nice skill on your resume :thumbsup:

I'm familiar with the phrase. My problem with using psychopaths for maintenance or QA is that they let their emotions control. That causes them to make mistakes. I much prefer the old-fashioned methods - proper design, good coding practices, etc., the idea being that if a bug makes it all the way to QA - something has gone very wrong. Of course, I don't work in "Internet time"...

How you tell the difference between summer and winter? It is unclear from the pictures... (In any case you have a beautiful place to live)

The winter pictures should be clear, there's ice on the ground and in the water. That I had the actual date the photos were taken in the filename helped too :laugh:

Looks very tranquil and peaceful. Exactly the kind of place I'd love to live.

Except for the church bells, which can be heard throughout the village every whole and half hour (although I'm used to them, so I rarely hear them anymore) :)

Welcome to the Netherlands! Our highest "mountain" is the Vaalserberg with its peak at 322 m :laugh: I live on the coast at minus a few meters (we have dykes to keep the water out, another Dutch "invention"!).
