They're basically everywhere, there's a lot to learn, it's a valuable skill for a potential employer and you're interested. Seems pretty obvious that you should go deeper with distributed systems. Also, your lack of form

Continuous learning is a fundamental part of the job. Some of the answers here focus on stable tech stacks but in reality even if you spend your entire career using the same tools, you still need to be continuously learning new things withi

I second the recommnedation for Whirlwind Tour of Python for people who already know other programming languages and don't need to learn programming concepts from scratch.

The terms aren't arbitrary, they're used and propagated deliberately to turn as social issue into a political one. Using a term like "pro-life" creates a false dichotomy which leads to the false and simplistic conclusion

A number of companies have plans to return to the office between now and the beginning of next year. Best to check with your employer before making any lifechanging decisions but my impression is that remote work will simply be more accepte

> Removing cashiers and automating checkouts just frees up the staff to focus on other in-store work. The supermarkets are functioning fine which leads me to think that there isn't a whole lot of other in-store work waiting to be do

In order of importance: 1. Sizeable retention package at 1 year of employment. 2. My job is very undemanding at the moment and I get to learn a bunch of things in my spare time. 3. The optics of leaving after a short period of time. 4. Diff

Pandas code with long lines can look so so ugly. Not a dig towards the original post at all, it's just that the pandas API isn't the most pleasant to work with.

I would like to give the opposite advice. Learn to tell the difference between doing unglamorous work (which you'll need to do) and being taken advantage of by your employer. > demonstrating a strong work ethic will get you noticed

The walrus operator is a very extreme example - the controversy around it directly disrupted the entire governance system of Python for a while. On the other hand not all new features detract from the simplicity of the language - f-strings

There's a large number of people who find their jobs through LinkedIn. I wouldn't call that noise even if some people can do without it.

First few weeks were an improvement - no commute, lucky enough to still have a job, no pressure to meet people, plenty of time to chill out, read, exercise etc. Then it starts to wear off - the days get way too repetitive, boredom increase

Tell him no and start looking for a new job. If you go along, your manager is just taking advantage of you. If you don't, I expect that you'll have a really hard time especially in a business this small and with a manager this bad

Yes, makes sense. Jake VanderPlas (who is the author of the post that you linked to) is the main developer of altair and currently works at Google on Google Colab. He also has a good introductory book on Python for data science and his conf

Parts that are harder (for me) than anything on the list: - buying into a paradigm specific to the language at the beginning. Sure, everyone tells me that multiple dispatch is great in Julia, but that doesn't click until you write a de
