>There are about 250 work days in a year in Baden-Württemberg, excluding weekends and public holidays. Of those I was missing for 34 days for vacations, being sick and doing home office. On 11 days I used public transportation, on 5 days a car. That leaves 200 days on which I cycled to work.

Wish we had this here.

TBF, Germany is not an impossible place to get a work permit. They have the blue card as well, which is quite interesting.

That's an understatement :)

As a software engineer, the requirements are fairly trivial compared to pretty much every other developed nation in the world.
