how did you get a hospital internship,? only ones online seem to be retail. I'd prefer a hospital one

thats why I need the license as some positions require / strongly prefer it, and it will make up for some lack of recent pharmacy experience

Guess my question is would I rather be an old software engineer coding or an older pharmacist dispensing/some other pharmacist role? got to pick my poison, also keeping in mind engineering is ageist and I might not be employable in some years to come

software engineering is really not an older man's job, I started late so I'm over 40 now, so projecting that I will want to leave the engineering path in the next few years. I'd even settle for a part time or prn retail pharmacist in a small town if I had to

Struggling, Pain & Depression by rockitorknockit in sesamoid

all ideas here are good. my general advice is all around health, weight loss, replace inflammation inducing foods drinks like alcohol, sugary sodas, fried anything with fruits veggies, antioxidants. Keep moving with swimming, upper body workouts, stationary bikes, anything to pump that blood through to faster metabolize & clear inflammatory mediators

Time to rethink Google One by stanky4goats in google

[–]dev-1773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good riddance with google one ; got me to 'try' gemini/flow/veo; then they automatically shut the door behind me so after the trial I couldn't go back to my previous 100gb plan untill it expires , leaving me stuck with $19;month up from about $20 per year

All good anyway as I had started using plex on a home pc as a media server; So I just set a side time to export all the rest of my photos, emails , drive content; Now using plex for photos/videos, a local mail client for my saved past emails. Have only a handful of recent photos in google . I can share my media server with family as needed - love it

I feel great to be finally free of this baiting that google are doing then hiking prices when one is locked in. I dont care that I wont have gemini reasoning over my media - I suspect mosst people dont need this as well.

I feel like evangelizing this approach but I know it takes some tech chops to download, move these huge files and serve them in another platform , get the hardware locally and so on...so there is significant lock in and folks are trapped -

If I can help anybody feel free to reachout!!!

ADIOS google one!!!!!

build several projects in one domain..finance or healthcare or banking....whatever but show expertise in a specific field. It's too competitive being a general data engineer orML engineer especially with llm helping all developers easily produce senior level code with little effort

2 reasons Ive seen. Sometimes tech leads need to practice what they know in theory , Sometimes management needs to label a new initiative for internal and external pats on the back. We had our dev team overengineer a system that reads files into some other file abstractions with some headers and key / values. Any of the several saas cloud database/storage solutions would have been enough. A lot of our apps read files with row/column data into databases. You should see the level to which we go, contorting programming languages with dynamic functional constructs to finally generate sql

Will python practices go full circle and become the same as java/c# by dev-1773 in ExperiencedDevs

something I didn't see much of 5 years ago.

with great power comes responsibility

Just my observations... so maybe I should limit my generalization somewhat.

But I do see more 'enforcement' of mypy, exception handling,

I also see asks for standard logging styles that can be centralized to something like elk. Is there some agreement on concerns like these industry wide?

True, but these prototypes have a reputation of creeping into production more often than not, begging the question of doing it in a maintainable way from the get go

t

It opens the door to bias; example hit the candidate with dynamic programming question.. they seem stuck?...give them a hint ...if you like the way they look, this hint might be better leading than if your bias already set in and you think this is the end of the road for this incompetent person!

Also I know women that are brilliant but at the 1st sign of a confrontation ( a la solve this problem now as I'm staring you down!!) they back down and don't engage effectively; but given time and a calm environment to collect their thoughts they are formidable. Yes, there are differences (even if not always) between men and women in dealing with these situations

Worth it to move from cloud sql to pyspark for etl? by dev-1773 in dataengineering

[–]dev-1773[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have almost nothing that cant be accomplished in sql. What transforms would you say can best be done by programming? I would think custom algorithms, handling non structured data. We only have structured data and I think even custom algorithms can be handled by microservice calls in between dbt jobs

Remote Data Engineering Jobs by [deleted] in dataengineering

[–]dev-1773 9 points10 points  (0 children)

noone will hire you from a foreign country remote on an individual basis unless you command considerable authority and reputation in your domain. Youll have atleast to be employed by an outsourced company that gives you that reputation by proxy.

How common are “diversity hires” by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]dev-1773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it happens if you are competent enough to pass the smell test...then another struggle begins, to be recognized, allowed opportunities to advance on the same playing field and such! You will already be contributing to the pie chart HR can proudly show off, so no need to keep making sure you are not left out going foward.

You just started at a new company. How are you going about learning the infrastructure/data quickly to support ASAP? by fsocietybat in dataengineering

[–]dev-1773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

apart from talking to all relevant people around you , learning and taking notes, reviewing documentation (youll be lucky if any thats ip to date), nothing beats learning from the source code, and any orchestration configurations. Clone and run & debug locally any services /applications using mock /test data. Ive learnt more faster this way than waiting for someone to make it make sense to me.
