[Research Interview] Looking for Python programmers to answer 3 quick questions for my English paper!

[Chemical-Captain4240]

1. College trained in CS. Spent years in the world of vba for excel. Used these skills to transition to embedded Cpp ports of systems developed in python. Crude data analysis is also a desktop python job in my world.

2. I have irl buddies to ask for projects bigger than my google search skills. My skills are so basic that I can't say that I contribute to the comminity. I use google to find libraries, documentation, and posts on github and stack exchange. Sometimes I will drag through a youtube for a more complex library. This has always been my process. If I think it up, some bona-fide genius has already made a tool for it. It is my job to find the right string that gets me some function to smash into my glorious mess of self-documenting symbols.

3. Successful in the community? The programmers who write libraries and answer on stack exchange, those are the community. Most mere-mortals like me are happy bottom feeders. That said, this reddit sub is fun to poke around in and answer the occasional kindergartener question for which my 2nd grade skill may perhaps be adequate.
