What you always wanted to know about willhaben
The willhaben tech blog you are reading right now tries to give you more insight about how willhaben works, what problems we are facing and how we try to solve them. Normally our software, site reliability and test engineers select the topics they want to write about themselves. But we always wonder what you, the reader, are most curious about. So for Christmas this year, we thought we would start a small contest among our engineers: propose a blog post topic and the topic with the most votes from our readers will win a small prize.
We received nine ideas from all engineering disciplines at willhaben, and you get to decide who wins. The best ideas will be published as blog post in the beginning of 2022. But there is more! There will be a raffle among all those who voted. We will give away 3 willhaben goodie bags, which will also include a Raspberry PI.
