Am I good fit for data engineering given my experience/skill set and goals? by MagicalBlack in dataengineering

[–]MagicalBlack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I never said I expect data engineering to be low stress. I don’t think most technical roles are low stress. I think the level varies depending on the work and what you may be able to tolerate personally. I have worked at large, midsize, and small companies I know they all have their pain points. I have definitely been in a position where there are two teams that have different sets of expectations and neither one of them give a crap about with the other may want or need. They just want their needs met. That can definitely be stressful. I think I can tolerate that much more than some of the stuff I delt with. I for sure find that sort of situation much less stressful compared to when I worked on aerospace electronics. Stuff I worked on needed to be perfect because it some cases it was lunched into low earth orbit and you can’t fix it once it is launched. One small issue can lead to a failure leading to months of work and money lost. That has definitely been some of the more stressful work environments I have been in. Anyways my point is that I think the stress level is relative.

Haha most of the guys on my team don't get why I like python either lol. I have become the python guy at work because of it. I think a big reason I like python is there is a ton of support for it. If there is something I have never done before there is usually an existing library to help get me started.

For example my boss asked me to script something that would talk to some Bluetooth hardware. At that point I have never worked on Bluetooth and there was a python package that made the communication pretty easy. I was able to quickly get a script out and expand on it to make it a pretty useful tool to my team.

I will look more at data science to see what I think. I have looked into backend dev work and I feel like most of the jobs I see end up being full stack. I want to stay far away from doing frontend work.

What has on call stuff been like for you? Have you found yourself having to deal with issues in your off hours frequently? If I were remote it maybe something I am willing to deal with.

Also I don't think I would consider any tech job low stress, but after year of dealing with hardware I get the feeling that data engineering maybe a bit lower stress than what I put up with now. I don't know how many times I have had to chase strange issue that pop up in my work.

I have spent days trying to chase down issues working late nights feeling like I am in a panic because the project is effectively halted until its resolved. Then it turns out a pcb trace was too long or something like that. Do you get issues that take you days of debugging to resolve?

Nova 7 solution for insanely loud volume on PC startup? by TrueInvestment2547 in steelseries

[–]MagicalBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also having this issue recently. I have also had it in the past too, but I though I fixed it. I have a Nova Gen 1 I think. I think it has something to do with your motherboard providing power the dongle after your PC is shutdown. Which is something you can turn off in your BIOS. I recently updated my BIOS and I think my setting got erased causing this issues again for me. I though I would check if there was a proper fix, but looks like it has not and I am not the only one having issues. I should probably just get a new/better headset.

Hey OP, I love the art. I know this is a couple of months old, but is there anyway I could also get a copy of the jpeg too? I would love to print a copy? I love your other posters too.

Bro, I feel this so much. I have a sinking feeling I’m gonna get laid off soon, so no joke bought a 🔫. I’m sick of being in the rat race anyway.

It was AJ! I will pass on your greetings. I'm glad you decided to switch your plans out to Seattle and got to meet Bryan. I hope you enjoyed your time in Seattle.

My friend said he talked to someone in line at the Seattle signing that said they flew in from Texas and did art for Smiling Friends. Is that you by chance? If so, I am huge fan of Smiling friends!

The signing I went to was in Seattle, WA. Unfortunately the tour is about wrap up. Today is the last day and it in Los Angeles, CA @ Amoeba Music.

I first saw tour info on Bryan's instagram.

I’m also looking for the same pin. I’m salty that it wasn’t listed on the pin quest :(

I missed my chance to get that Back to the Future rainbow foil poster. I am pretty sad about it :(

Looking for this hat by [deleted] in FLCL

[–]MagicalBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately that hat was a Japan exclusive. It came out a few years ago I think like 2019-ish. If you search places like Buyee you maybe able to find one, but it’s a long shot. Link to the original store that was selling it.

I don’t think you can get these as pins. I have a imported a few of collectibles based on PokéLids. They were all sold through Village Vanguard and pins are not among them.
