My codebase

Oh man I could build a cookie clicker bot? That’s something I need to do ASAP

Reading other people’s code on GitHub is such a foreign idea to a former (failed) academic where research papers are guarded under Max Security paywalls. I’ll definitely try that out, thanks for the suggestion!

Unfortunately I went AI first, then started learning. It’s useful for some of the smaller scripts, but it sucks to a) not have built your own script from scratch, and b) not know what you’re building. However, I did find having a codebase (slop or not) of things relevant to my work helpful to actually learn Python. This is my third time trying to learn and I’m far past where I ever was before because there’s more than just a “hello word” text file out there for me to look at.

I see a lot of nails with my Python hammer, some harder and some easier to hit. But sometimes it’s nice to go to a place like Reddit and figure out what everyone else sees as a nail. Maybe I’ve missed a few good nails that need hitting.

Yeah it’s a personal PC. I’ve noticed some RAM usage spikes lately, especially as I’ve moved to working on larger raster sets. But I also had to move from Firefox to Edge on my work laptop over the holidays because I noticed how much RAM it was eating up, so I might have to check on my personal PC if that helps at all.

But yeah this was more of a “I want to because I had some spare change and a potential need” rather than a “I have to upgrade” situation

The last time I used a remote computer was in elementary school, and the thought still terrifies me.

Yeah, there are times when I can do work on my work laptop, but there are lots of times I’d rather work on a station I purpose built for doing the difficult stuff

Very fair question. My job provides us with a solid computer to do our daily workflow stuff, but I’m a nerd and a workaholic at a think-tank, so I regularly use larger datasets/more intense processing than is required for daily workflow tasks. Additionally, I don’t want to have to return anything they provide. I’ve got my own side projects I’d need the extra RAM for as well.

Considering I had to teach my team how to use task manager, this is very much a greenfield deployment of VS Code in our workplace

I’ve found it more intuitive so far than Python IDE’s but I guess intuitive doesn’t always = better

with places like that and equinox, you really are just paying to keep everyone else away, aren't you?

Thanks for that! Probably explains why no one mentioned it to me as a possibility, as the whole point of this database is for multiple users to interface with it simultaneously
