Just wanted to say that rarely has a text make me want to work for a company as much as this one. This is the way engineering should be done. I have never worked in such an organisation.

Seems like everyone has such a story about a teacher. „No you can’t read more advanced books because the current ones bore you“ etc etc What is the matter with these people.
