Hey world, please tell me your cool stories about writing #python 🐍
🇳🇱
@burtawicz I wrote software in python that can successfully predict if you have COVID or not with over 91% accuracy simply from breathing into a machine :)
@freemo @burtawicz
I broke our in-house implementation once in a production environment in front of a customer.
When asked if I was going to fix it - I politely said I could, but didn't have the authority to do so(and this gave a brief explanation <2min on how to do it).
Since then, I've been given clearance to do so- but not the compensation.
@lucifargundam @freemo @burtawicz You had me until the last part... I hope that company is on clearance.

Their stock is actually doing really well right now.
I'm currently trying to figure out what I can do about food for the next two weeks.
@lucifargundam @freemo @burtawicz Are you a software developer straining to put food on your table?
i'm stumped here. I know of the usual evil (jobs that are useful, like nurses or garbage collectors being underpaid), but a development role?
May i ask what country you live in?
@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @burtawicz
I live in a leading country with rich IT opportunities and infrastructure.
I have applied for more jobs in the last 3 months alone than I have had books in my collection (I own a ton).
I've been told my interviewing skills could use some minor improvement.
My post history has some rejection emails included. Many of which contradict either the posting details or my resume.
So not entirely sure why things are this way until I get an honest answer and not the de-facto I've only ever been given since my earliest days of applying for jobs.
@lucifargundam @freemo @burtawicz Started looking at your post history, but you boosted more than you tooted. Is there a way to show only your toots? Trying to do my due diligence here, but on the first two pages i only got "does not have great opportunities due to location".
As peculiar as my own situation is, i would ask a question: how many viable (not pure evil) partys does a democracy need?
Sorry to highjack this, but i have been worried about this for a while. And i do somehow relate, growing up besides a one party "democracy".
I hope you pull through, both on food and democracy.
If you want to talk about interviewing, toot me in private. I am notoriously polarizing and it did work out for me. Can't tell you if my advice will help or damn you, but i'll be damned if i don't try.

<<Unfortunately, I did not have the foresight to mark the posts with any particular hashtag. ATM I would think searching would be the only means to find them - however, there's not much to consider when trying to parse results...
>>As peculiar as my own situation is, i would ask a question: how many viable (not pure evil) partys does a democracy need?
<<this sounds like a rhetorical question.

<<Life is full of learning lessons and experiences. If I can thrive under duress, life of leisure will be more prosperous for me.

<<I'm fine, thanks for the offer.
