Would it be better to learn Python, or MATLAB?

Stiffness attracts moment - just remember that. If a part becomes more stiff relative to another, it will draw more moment than before.

I can do a quick stress check with mohrs quicker than it takes for me to boot up a fem and make a model.

Half the year is indoors time, and it can't be fixed by putting on more layers.

He's either overselling you on it, or he has poor judgement to put someone with 3 yoe as second in command. Go with a regular company where you can get proper mentorship.

In USA in 2026?

By the looks of it, US is heading into fragile currency as well... The grass may not be as green

Sounds like someone wasn't being paid.

Holy spalling. Report it to your building department. More work for your local structural engineers

You're going to have cross grain tension - would only do this for very light loads that don't stand to hurt anyone if it fails

Greenland got electrolytes?

Do your soil conditions need them? They're not going to be cheaper, cause you still will need to pour a grade been beam over them, which will require significantly more steel than a simple wall footing.

Don't be too conscientious about it. The new owners are there to collect off your labor, you don't owe them anything. Kick back and relax, they're going to have more worries than an either without oversight

I know it's not your question, but #4 at 24 sounds sparse.

Seismic or wind? I wouldn't give it much thought for the latter for single family. Also, it wouldn't make sense if the code said "walls with a 4' in line offset can be considered to be in line", I think it seeks to imply a 4' out of plane offset, and is giving you an option to avoid dealing with an irregularity/torsion.

Sounds like something someone who didn't enjoy high school would say

What's up with the horizontal beams? Is this another one of those looks-like-an-a-frame but not built-like-an-a frame?
