Only took us 1/4 of the time we aimed for! Capitalism is truly efficient.

On a more serious note: Neovim for quick file-edits, doom-emacs as my IDE.

Doom-emacs does most of the stuff you are already using out of the box, is highly configurable and it lets you use vim-keybindings. It’s also free (as in freedom) software!

A bonus, if you ask me.

We have a word for what’s going on in your country. It’s called Gleichschaltung. Look it up, if you’re unfamiliar.

942 mio × (1 + x) = 1500 mio
0.942 × (1 + x) = 1.5
x = (1.5/0.942) - 1
x = 0.59

Using this formula I got a 59% increase, which may very well be within truncation error range (1.535 mio is 163% of 943 mio).

Did you get to 36% by calculating the change starting from the increased value? When talking about percentage increase the increase is usually given relative to the previous value.
