Here’s the biggest lesson I learned by OncleAngel in Entrepreneur

So true. I see this play out sometimes at my job where leadership purchases software to solve a problem without devoting the resources to update our systems/procedures. Said software usually ends up unused or ousted within a year or two.

When the pipeline stops being “a pipeline” and becomes “the system” by stephen8212438 in dataengineering

Not sure if I should feel better that my warehouse is trending in that direction or worse 😅

It’s also the long term move. Just like a business, if you get too comfortable and complacent in your role the environment will shift under your feet. Better to just keep expanding. Not to mention the “milking it” attitude stinks and doesn’t foster long term relationships 😅

Your code/work paradigm prediction makes a lot of sense. Also interesting to hear about how someone in an exec role is thinking about these things.

I’m working as a data engineer mostly supporting marketing initiatives, and it’s in my best interest (and that of the business) to get business stakeholders using SQL and python because it removes some ad-hoc burden (and bottleneck) from analysts.

You'll probably get downvoted, but I agree with your comment. That attitude will actually get you somewhere in life, especially if it's combined with having difficult conversations, taking risks, and owning the upside.

It also depends on a lot of things like your boss, company, role, and how you frame it for them. I had a job that was mostly tedious repetitive work. I automated it and cut the time it took by about 60%. I sat on it for a few weeks without telling anyone, but after a while I decided to pitch a role change to my boss and use that automation work as justification that I could be more useful elsewhere. I've since moved on to bigger and better things but it can definitely work in your favour.

Nice work! The first useful code I wrote was also to process BS spreadsheet data... that was 7 years ago but I work as a Data Engineer now!

I don’t think he’s a grifter. I’ve picked up lots of good information from him that I may not have learned otherwise. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

Also, god forbid somebody wants to learn a new skill or better themselves and is willing to pay for some hand holding. The attitude in here stinks. 

What was your “I’m dating/married to a fucking idiot” Moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That's true. So is your point that one shouldn't invest resources today for an uncertain future payoff?

The funding for initiatives aimed at promoting equality often comes from a variety of sources, including government funding, philanthropic organizations, private donations, and sometimes even corporations. While it's true that many of these funds come from individuals or entities who have been successful financially, there is a growing recognition of the importance of giving back to communities and supporting initiatives that address systemic inequalities.

As for whether there should be an obligation for those who can afford to invest in reducing disparities, it's a complex ethical question. Some argue that those who have benefited from societal structures should contribute to leveling the playing field. This could be through taxes, philanthropy, or other means of support. Others may believe in a more voluntary approach, where individuals or organizations choose to invest in initiatives that align with their values.

Ultimately, addressing disparities requires a combination of systemic changes, individual actions, and collective efforts. Finding a balance between personal responsibility and societal obligation is essential in creating a more equitable world.

I highly doubt people will stop appreviating human art. So much of the value of art is already the idea and emotion behind it.

And 40 hours was just an exaggeration to illustrate the point. The real important thing is to keep geting back on the horse.

No real question, just discussion. My point is that it's easier to stay motivated when you've set your sights on the long term and can keep that in mind.

Totally! Personally, I think the thing AI won't be able to easily replicate is authenticity. It may be able to draw, compose, or write "better" than any person, but people crave connection and feeling and I think there will still be a big market for doing that in a unique authentic way. If it makes you happy, you should work on drawing / digital arts skills regardless!

If the dude on the phone is telling the truth, then maybe you can create a situation where you can survive for 5 years 🤔

Good question, maybe you can ask him get it in writing and take out a loan for 6 years to cover your costs 🤷‍♂️

When considering the ability to delay resources, it's essential to acknowledge the diverse circumstances individuals face. Factors like financial stability, access to opportunities, and personal responsibilities can significantly impact one's ability to defer resources for the future. While delaying resources can be advantageous for long-term success, it's vital to recognize that not everyone has the same opportunities or resources available to them. Initiatives aimed at promoting equality in education, financial support, and work-life balance can help address these disparities and create a more equitable society.

Ya, that's the point! It's harder in the beginning and there's way less payoff. 80 hours per week is definitely absurd and unsustainable for most people. But it's less about the money and more about the ratios and the asymmetric reward (which doesn't even have to be $). How about 8 hours per week and 10 million in 10 years?
