When did you realize it was time to leave the profession?
I’m 15 years in. I’ve been on vacation the last 2 weeks and I realized during this period that I’m done. I went from loving every minute of it had a great sense of pride in the work. But now I’ve shifted and just feel this isn’t for me anymore.
Bought a raider gaming laptop today and I’ve spent the whole evening troubleshooting wifi issues and applications not working.
Every time I open battle net, it disconnects.
This is very disappointing for what I paid.
This is the first time I’ve dealt with this company and probably the last.
I needed a computer for my business and decided to go with this company. The product was labelled as ready to ship. After multiple delays I cancelled the order, purchased an upgraded one, and paid for expedited shipping. It was listed as “Ready to ship” and that is “ships today.” This is not the case and I expect more from a company that brags about how good their supply chains are.
I’m fully aware of the chip shortages. Be realistic about your ability to deliver before taking our money.
Very disappointed.
Going to start learning ML over the next year.
I’ve changed the administrative landscape in my organization because of randomly deciding to learn Python a few years ago. You’d be surprised what you can do with react/python/sql.
I would like to baby step into ML, but I treat programming like learning a math course. Explore a concept, do problems.
I’ve done a bit of research but I’d like a human to give me some direction. I want to spend a month or two in Dara analysis - do you recommend pandas first? What are the best concepts/libraries to learn next? What are the industry standard python libraries for ml.
Right now the common I’ve came across are pandas, Numpy, PyTorch.
The last few months I’ve been embedded into react with Python in the back end.
What is your go to API for web applications? I’ve worked with both. Django is a one stop shop for a lot of things, but fastAPI is so much quicker.
I’m not trying to get into FAANG, I’m just someone who loves math and is using this as a tool to be a better business analyst.
I won an award at work for creating an internally hosted web application (thanks everyone for the advice over the years on the thread and stack).
I have adhd (treated) and this comes very natural to me. I naturally try to make my functions and modules as efficient as possible, I can spot bugs before I run it in the console and my fear of failure naturally makes me try to find security vulnerabilities. AI has been a great tool to seek information and break creative walls, but to make a comparison - when I assemble something. I use a drill, but always ensure the screw is properly tightened by hand (make sense?)
I’m getting asked if I can do this for other businesses now and I’m getting asked to see if I can make my applications hosted on AWS and we’re going to share it with other agencies.
But I’m overwhelmed with a fear of failure because of security and want to get an expert advice on where to focus my learning and to criticize my work.
Any suggestions? I’m not allowed to make my GitHub repo public (there’s only code - no database schema or data etc.).
