Hi, I am totally new to 3D printing and want to have a printer. Budget is 400€. My background is computer science and programming and I want to be able to hack the device if I want but it should work fine OOTB (or with minimal effort). Which device would you guys suggest to me?

If you want something that just works out of the box, consider increasing your budget and look at the Bambu P1P.

https://bambulab.com/en/p1

I recently picked up its big brother, the X1C, as my first foray into 3D Printing, and I’m very glad I spent the extra money after first looking at the offerings in the $300 range.

Edit: I see you want to hack it. Bambu probably isn’t for you, then - it’s closed-source, and commonly compared to the Apple of 3D printing. But it also “just works.” 🤷‍♂️
