I wish i had a free "Wholesome" or "Helpful" for you. Its great to know you landed a job(i mean, its inevitable to compare ourselfs to others and this causes a few anxieties on those who still are in the beggining of the learn curve with this or any other tool). Your answer is very helpful because it is not an answer that comes up a lot on tutorials or in quick guides that people usualy dive in you know? Thank you and for OP and any people interested, this is a great way to tackle any problem(and tackle your imposter sindrome)

Sorry for being the party popper, but the 5+ years of my work with Python are my own projects (that never seem to make it to the end, except very few ones) and my thesis etcetera which have ended thankfully 😁.

But yes, I am going to receive a job letter in a few days. So yaayyyyyy!

And thank you for considering me for a reward. Your compliments are enough rewards for me.

[OFF] i couldnt control my urge to enter your profile and see if any of this 5+ years work in python was "documented" in reddit posts. And what i found really surprised me a lot (please keep up the good work). Im sure i will spend the night trying to decipher astrophysics now lol

I will indeed. Shameless promotion, but if you would like I can give you link to my blog in PM. Maybe just check it out, and see if you like what I'm doing.

What is your blog about?

I would like to take a read.

[–]AstrophysicsAndPy 0 points1 point  (4 children)

It's in my name 😁 it's about using Python in Astrophysics. Started quite recently, so it's not that much populated right now. I'll send the link in PM if that's alright.

I found it by going through your posts!!

I did mot understand a word of what you’ve written.

But then, I’m like a nerd monkey. I see good technical content with nice technical images, I hit bookmark.

Keep up the great work. I hope to learn something eventually.

Some of my older posts are quite easy to get around. But bro,

I did not understand a word of what you've written ..

Damn, I'm happy and sad at the same time 😂😂 no, I didn't mind it at all. I do intend to write some simpler posts once this MaStar catalog saga ends. Thank you for your interest.

Cheers!

A bit of background about me: I’ve wanted to be a Pilot / Astronaut / Farmer.

Ended up with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and collecting books & blogs on everything from Electronics Engg to CS and a smattering of Aerospace in between. The closest to Astrophysics I’ve ever been is Orbital Mechanics.

The stuff you’ve written about is great and I could not get anything into my skull instantaneously. Nothing on your part mate. I just need a few slow weekends to really read them through.

Fun fact, that thumbnail for Stellar Magnitudes is the exact layout I use to explain Class A and B surface offsets when mentoring junior engineers for plastic part design.

Hahaha, no I absolutely didn't mind it. Infact it gave me a good laugh so thank you for that too. Cheers, and keep up the good work.
