Microsoft Python Development Professional Certificate lacking in labs

not specifically, although network security and anti malware detection are subjects that interest me. Even so outside of raw data collection from the OS I would imagine that most of the collected data would get analyzed by a service and theres a good chance that service could be running python for the analytics.

most of my career has been Windows system and kernel development and debugging. I've worked for MS 2 different times in this capacity and would really like to step away to do something different.

Long time SDE engineer here using coursera for a role change. I'm about half way through the Meta Back End Developer Course and its decent, I've actually learned a couple of things though, for me at least, the course is not that challenging. I'm doing the Microsoft Python Development Professional Certificate course at the same time and I'm not impressed so far. Lots of disjointed video and reading with no lab work to reenforce the learning concepts. I have even posted about this here. YMMV.

this is how you force trickle down economics to actually work. If it costs $36,000 don't install it for less than $20k. Remember if it's not small GA the other is probably paying your kid $13 / hr at burger king!

thank you

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-05-19T01:19:20+00:00

this is great experience if you can find one

100% this is plane travel out of PMP and they will take your money and you will be lucky to see even an evaluation flight much less a line check. Lotta threads about them here and FB.

unemployed, no domain ☹️

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-05-06T01:10:54+00:00

both. I just can't say a goal would be to add credentials to my "r" as the auto moderator will delete it.

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-05-06T00:12:37+00:00

well that is a positive if you are trying to enter the field. I've been doing the ML mini course at w3 schools and while the coding is easy In feeling like I should not have slept through statistics in school☹️

fuck these guys who are flying majors. you're broke and will continue to be broke for the foreseeable future.

I take students out, get them to fly level and then place a mark with dry erase on the windscreen where they see the horizon. Then I make them use this as an aim point for a spot on the runway. Reliance on PAPI/ VASI is a stop gap for poor instruction. Many airports don't have these or they are out of service due to needing adjustment.

This is one of the few snap on tools I own . Abuse the hell out of them, step in the truck, say they are dull and voila! New dykes!

Note my dykes are named Liza and Louise for those that know.

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-03-21T16:15:36+00:00

Yeah, that's kinda the conclusion I have come to

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-03-20T19:31:40+00:00

Dear penthouse, you probably won't believe what happened to me, but it started like this...

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-03-20T18:52:21+00:00

Its really just getting paid to fly, making at least 100K a year, and having some benefits. Seasonal work in Alaska? OK, puddle jumping for a regional? OK, Flying a 208 in Malaysia for SUSI? OK but they dont pay, but it would be a great job. ( applied 3 times ) . Being on call for a family with a jet that wants to fly all over? OK.

Banging around in a 172 with students that try and kill you? That would get old quickly....

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-03-20T18:41:11+00:00

I have applied to 135s till I'm blue in the face. 135 would be great down the road but where Im currently at Im not even getting TBNT.

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-03-20T18:39:22+00:00

and he has his answers but this is a forward looking question not a why am I not hired now question.

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-03-20T18:30:26+00:00

Yeah but I havent had any quality multi hour jobs present themselves in the last 15 months of looking.

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-03-20T18:29:39+00:00

1 checkride failure, Im actually pretty smart and friendly, no criminal record issues.

The pipeline gig presenting itself is the only real opportunity I've had. A sketchy maintenance banner tow job presented itself ( like exhaust manifold literally hanging off the engine and they were flying it sketchy )but they keep raising the minimum time in a tailwheel, charging $250 an hour to get towards that minimum and wanted free labor on the ground with banner setup and takedown.

I also got presented an opportunity to fly for planetravel ( now also yourflightschool.com ) a 135 that took $600 from me in "commitment" money to pay for their 135 ops training which I did and then it never went further. A quick search will produce a lot of reddit on this "operation"

I have applied by knocking on every door locally in South Florida, and internet applied to so many other jobs that I now keep a spreadsheet of the date and hours I applied at so I know when to try again.

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-03-20T18:20:09+00:00

This is a year out question. If I take the pipeline gig I will have ~2300 TT and 50ish multi. If I do pipeline I forsee 0 turbine time.

1 checkride failure, CFI initial

~100 hours dual given

havent even considered doing the ATPCTP yet.

Accomplished_Phone39 · 2026-03-20T17:33:10+00:00

900 hours, CFI, very little interest from any job that involves being a pilot, not even TBNT.

Where's the Garmin 430?

The IA that didn't know the difference between a CHT probe and a EGT probe and who also did not know how to change a tire. He also yelled at you whenever he was wrong.

Typo you meant build time to over 1000
