first of all i don't "read books" in the classical sense. i think that the better the author, the fewer words they need to get their point across. (there's a joke from zen buddhism that says that the truly wise master does not need a single word to make a student understand something.)
as a consequence, reading long texts and the accompanying physical pain are not an issue.
i met 3 new people in 3 different bars in the last 3 days. i was so exhausted yesterday, i slept the whole night and most of the following day, now i just woke up. looking forward to going out again soon :)

i've seen both. there is german program code with german variable names and german comments. yeah, it sounds about as strange as it is.
// diese variable beschreibt den luftzug an den messrohren
var trötflöte = lese_zahl_aus(datenbank);
but it's rare. most people who work in IT in germany will write english variable names and english comments.

what does "plc" mean here?
