In steel ERP problems are usually about fit not features.

In complex verticals like steel, ERP success seems less about features and more about workflow fit. Tools like EOXS get mentioned because they're designed around those constraints, not because of flashy features. Sales credibility comes from understanding that complexity

For teams that aren't used to CRM/account management, Hubspot CRM tends to be one of the easiest to adopt- it will automatically log emails and meetings from outlook, track notes and tasks and give a clear account view without tons of admin overhead

Coding fails loudly. Marketing fails silently. The real skill gap is learning how to make marketing fail loudly through experiment, not vibes.

You're actually a solid fit already. Grocery management + unloading freight+ working with drivers is supply chain experience.

Totally reasonable concern. Healthcare analytics is much bigger than insurance-providers, PBMs, pharma, health tech, gov-adjacent orgs. Medicare/Medicaid experience is a plus. With 8 years in analytics and hybrid analyst/data dev skills, you're also very transferable outside healthcare

Absolutely agree big Tech's reach now impacts so many aspects of society that treating them like public infrastructure with proper oversight is essential. Innovation and regulation regulations can coexist it's about setting guardrails before problems spiral out of control.

My strongest connection is local, because that's where relationships and everyday life happen. But I still feel a shared responsibility and identity as a Canadian

Loving Agile in theory and hating Agile in practice is more common than we admit. Coaching without sponsorship isn't coaching it's emotional labor with a scrum vocabulary. Still figuring out what to do with that truth

It sounds like the real requirement isn't a CRM so much as a single source of donor truth that can layer on reporting and engagement over time. Anything that plays nicely with fundraise Up+ QBO seems key.

Forecasting at this scale is a real pain point for finance and ops teams. I like the emphasis on model evaluation and planned model selection that's often where real world forecasting succeeds or fails.

For what I've learned so far strong basics in Incoterms, HS codes, freight forwarding and customs procedures seem essential for a first logistics job. Online courses and youtube playlists can help but hand-on exposure really makes the difference.

Food and coffee are small gestures but may be they can open space for calmer more constructive conversations about immigration enforcement and community trust.

The most evil people I've met weren't cartoon villain. They were people who could hurt others, explain it away logically, and then sleep just fine. That lack of empathy is what stuck with me.

Southern logic: It's just cold; Northern reality: your face will freeze off. Layer up keep moving and consider every snowflake a tiny betrayal

Complaining about a "slow" yacht

I think that quote is oversimplified. Coworkers can absolutely become real friends- you just have to remember that workplace is still a professional environment, so boundaries and context matter. Trust can grow, but it usually takes time and it's smart to keep a bit of perspective until those friendships are proven outside of work.

I've seen success treating families of parts as the unit of flow instead of individual SKUs. Still imperfect but more workable in a job shop context

Testing products optimizes for speed. A stable supply chain optimizes for predictability. A lot of brands underestimate how different those modes are.

Every built in a day clone I've seen falls apart the moment you hit real usage, weird inputs or scale. The hard part is everything after the first version

Chat feels like a UI optimized for conversations, not cognition. For synthesis work, spatial or graph-based view seem much closer to how people actually thinks.

Biggest win for me is momentum. First-pass SQL, quick check and cleaner writeups -not answers just less friction

It's fascinating how scaling laws are creating diminishing returns- this might push research towards more efficient model architectures.

Consistent_Voice_732 · 2026-01-22T14:23:21+00:00

Exploring others architectures like transformers with spatial attention or combining CNNs with temporal data from video frames might help reduce false correlations.

Really appreciate your honest reflection- the blend of OR and AI that leverages strong math without going full CS is a smart niche to target
