No, the sanitary buidings were top notch on our camping which was even approved by the Dutch ANWB organisation. The only downside of the Ostsee campings is that they are way too popular, expensive and crowded (even in september).

Been living in a hotel in Gulf Shores, AL for the last week. It is the best hotel I have ever stayed at, due primarily to the staff working here.
HOWEVER, I can't wait to get back home. I went on the web to the power company's site map of which parts of the city have power restored and my neighborhood. Not sure if I can trust them or not. SWMBO does not and wants to stay another week! Never mind the cost.
Have you ever had to stay in a place other than your own? for any extended period of time? How did you cope?

Once. I live in Israel, but had to visit our main office in Florida for a integration of my code with their hardware. I was supposed to stay two weeks, but it stretched to almost a month. Luckily (?), I was still single at the time...
Anyway, you have my sympathies. At least your family is safe. I just hope that the property damage to your home isn't too bad.

Almost my whole working life...
During the automation time (9 years) I always was on the road. Mostly I could come back the weekend, but not always. 80% of the year away.
After that (3 Years), I reduced to 20-30% of the year away, but then really gone (the other part of the world) for 2 to 6 weeks periods.
Luckily... In my current job (last 2,5 years), I have had to sleep in other place only one night.

As long as we are not talking natural disaster - then year many times, Singapore hotels weeks and months, serviced apartment for 9 months. Karratha a red spot on the pimple on the arse of Australia for 3 months in a donga (careful when you look that up). UK - 3 months in a rental near Slough.
Lots of us travel for work

Two 7-week stints and a 2-week stint in Bangalore, and two week-long stints in Vienna, all enjoyable.

I would love living at the ocean, because I love about everything there (The sea, the wind, the smell, the salt, the sand, the landscape, the sunsets or rise, swimming in the morning and in the evening, kayak, paddle,...). Not possible for the next 30 years, because Mrs.Rage would not move far away from her family (by her definition, "far" is "more than 100m") - but this would be my place. So I have had to stay in a place other than mine for more than 40 years now.

Drive home by yourself to check that power is back, internet is back, and your home is habitable: If yes to all return to the hotel and check out with SWMBO. If no, be glad you didn't give up your hotel room.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I've traveled for work over the last 20 years or so. At times I've stayed at hotels for two to three weeks at a time coming home for a few days and heading out again. Usually though it's for much shorter periods. My wife made that possible by being home for the kids when I couldn't.
The worst time a way from home was after a fire that took out seven homes in our block. We stayed with family and friends for a few days at a time until the insurance started covering a hotel. It was about four weeks in the room until we found a suitable house to rent, we weren't going to be able to go back home anytime soon.
The biggest weirdness was knowing that we and our neighbors suffered a "tragedy", but the familiar world around us was going on as normal. Seeing news stories about the hurricanes and fires that wipe out large areas are so much greater than what we had experienced as we could still buy gas and groceries and get around. We just had no place that was "home".
The fire happened in 2008 on the Monday before U.S. Thanksgiving. I remember reading an article Thanksgiving morning in the local paper about people being thankful. One story was about another fire that happened several years before. The guy they were interviewing said something like, "It takes time to get back to normal. Everything about your daily life is going to be different for awhile. But slowly you get back to it."
He was right. All is well now. We were able to get away from a deteriorating neighborhood and with a job change live in a different state. But I never view news about families losing their homes the same way again. When there is a donation can out, I rarely pass it by without making a donation.

How do we solve transition f1=(Discipline) to code?
I mean there are lot of qualified (web) programmers but they only know how (hopefully) to implement a nice GUI, but they do not have (and are not willing/able to get) any idea about the business...

That's a hell of an assumption, and a hope I would not have. But maybe you have done a crap job of hiring... If so, maybe f1 = fire crap programmers and start over.

Not sure what that means but....

Unless your business is a common one, you always have to train incoming personnel in the domain knowledge they need to know in order to do their jobs. This includes developers.
Expecting them to know a priori 'the business' is naive at best. Your 'code monkey' term indicates an attitude of contempt toward your coworkers, which doesn't help matters.
Teaching them what they need to know would be more useful.

I have often said the same. It is better to retain staff ond upskill them on technical knowledge than to use what HR call 'fresh blood' with the technical skill but without history on how their particular organisation ticks. Technical domain skills are (in theory) easy to acquire; but business domain is specific to an organisation and cannot be simply bought in. Business domain include how the organisation works and how the code base that supports it works; they are one-offs, even if the organisation is using an industry standard package. I've been in my current job for over 5 years and there are huge swathes of the business side that I have not fathomed (especially their software base).

You are making some wild assumptions there. Or maybe your recruitment ads need some work. Either way it is easy to see where the problem is.
