Carpentry.
And I don't think it's that old. The shape is so similar to modern carpentry hammers, that I think it is not older than the standardised nail. Most definitely younger than the middle ages.
Oof, you'd be on the road a lot. Black forest - in the very south west, Neuschwanstein - pretty south east, Berlin - very north east.
I might suggest going to the black forest, visiting all the historical castles in the Mittelrheintal (middle Rhine valley), and instead of Brandenburg gate maybe Stuttgarter Schloss etc.
Neuschwanstein is basically castle-cosplay. I think in the middle Rhine valley you'll find cooler things and it's closer .
In German, if someone is too stiff, not wanting to have fun, not spontaneous enough, too much a stickler for the rules, we say: "get that stick out of your arse"
These things should never come down to the individual skill of the programmer. There should be systems and checks in place to assure the quality. And if the quality isn't reached, the programmer needs enough time and support to reach them.
I want to answer honestly as well. I looked up the numbers, and we have 2 million wild boars in Germany. Germany has roughly the size of Montana.
High estimates say, there are 9 Mio in the US, 3 Mio in Texas (twice as large as Germany). So the numbers are rooouuughly comparable, a little more swine here in DE.
I guess, the feral hogs are really back to being wild nowadays despite stemming from domesticated pigs. So I will classify them as scary as a wild boar. Which they are, they are scary.
How do we manage this? Each year about 600 000 boars are shot by professional hunters. The general population doesn't need weapons for that. And the hunting rifles are bolt action or single action, not automatics.
The main damage they cause is not to live and limb, but to property, namely crop fields. Our solution is, that each hunter is assigned a district and a number he must shoot. If the farmland in his area is damaged more than x% that is also his responsibility.
