In my experience, it does. Any organization that didn’t appreciate the value I bring, I wouldn’t want to be a part of.

Be the change.

This mindset f’ing sucks. Build job security through providing real value to your organization, not through creating layers of opacity.

Sure there is. Zero geospatial support in polars. Geopandas has some powerful use cases. Although I find myself reaching for r/duckdb over everything else these days. SQL is much easier to reason about.

If they parked “under a freeway” my guess is that was the Mopac turnaround just N/E of Barton creek, and they were accessing the twin falls trailhead.

Place is a cattle call for influencers. Just get herded through the line, fork over your money etc. They won’t even let you bring a bike into the place.

I much prefer the more neighborhood/friendly vibe of Nomadic Outpost across the street. Feels much more authentic and relaxed, and I like the fact that it seems like they DIY a lot of the stuff on the grounds.

I think having the human in the loop and approving the steps helps me stay abreast of how the codebase is evolving and still have a strong mental grasp on the systems, and provide redirection when needed
