I'm Jan Wedel, a software developer based in Berlin, Germany. This is return code, my personal blog. You will find mostly tech related stuff, but not necessarily since I'm interested in lot's of things.

Just check out the blog categories to find specific topics or use the search on the top right to find articles by title, content or tags.

You can find me on Mastodon, Bluesky, dev.to and GitHub.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
