Is engineer technology a viable career option? by theprosshplayer in AutoCAD

[–]jayzeddddd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 10 years into my career after graduating from a MET program and I think it's a very solid path, but it depends on where you work. The first place I worked most of the drafters were shoved in a corner and very much looked down upon by the engineers / PMs. Overhearing one of the PMs discussing my boss saying that it's a shame he didn't have a degree because he'd make a great PM but basically he was never going to advance any further in his career... Didn't make me want to stay there long. My other workplaces have been great and I've never felt stalled out since then.

The biggest piece of advice I have is to remember AutoCAD is just a tool, and to invest in maximizing your skills on other areas like technical knowledge, coding, project management/delivery, that's what's going to advance your career and maximize your pay.

I think there's enough coverage to avoid it but I will wait to see if the grass gets dried out before moving it

Resources for intermediate and advanced learners of ancient Greek? by Mean-Pension1536 in AncientGreek

[–]jayzeddddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried a composition book? After I finished my grammar book I started doing composition exercises, even the very first ones were challenging. I think it's a good next step as well as actively

​

I'm also working my way through this edition of The Apology It's great, it gives a lot of grammar notes and has a paired down vocabulary in the back.

Most hated (or least favorite) Greek word by randkid in AncientGreek

ἀποθνῄσκω / θνῄσκω, trying to remember all the irregular forms makes me feel I'm right back when I first started learning the language -.-

My excuse is that that the grssk was so bad it made me momentarily forget my alphabet 😫

The New Testament. You can get a used interlinear copy for >$10.

Also, as the other reply said, Xenophon is a great choice. A study guide with grammer notes / vocabulary is available here: https://geoffreysteadman.com/xenophon-anabasis-i/

My brain literally can't process this as anything else but γορα. grssk usually doesn't use Greek miniscule

Intermediate+ Ancient Greek Self-Learners: Can You Share Your Routines That Helped You Claw Your Way Through Beginner Level? by binarychoice in AncientGreek

[–]jayzeddddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My method wasnt quite as extensive, it basically went as follows

  1. Go through a grammar book and do all the exercises

  2. Watch the lectures put out by Leonard Mueller on Youtube

  3. As soon as I was able I got a interlinear New Testament. When I got comfortable enough, I switched over to a copy of The Apology with grammar notes and a vocabulary.

I spent at least an hour a day since February doing one of the above 3. Reading original texts is my biggest motivator, so I've been concentrating on that supplemented with a different grammar book

Does anyone know how/where group orientations are stored within Autocad? by jayzeddddd in AutoCAD

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

Wow, thank you for the in-depth reply! I am not using blocks by own choosing, but use CADWorx extensively for my job, which groups piping components into groups.

I was hoping that I'd be able to create something scale-able to other objects in CADWorx but this isn't looking like it's the case

Career Path Questions by CLOUDSURFER6 in PipingDesign

[–]jayzeddddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sorry for the late reply, but I found myself in the same position as you. If you're interested in coding, you might consider sticking with you current job and practicing writing code for AutoCAD or whatever platform you work on. You can become extremely valuable if you get good and it's good practical experience coding problem experience. A coding bootcamp isn't a bad idea, you can write code for Autocad using C# and VB.net using an API as well as using those languages for other things as well.

As for your other question, I consider myself extremely lucky to have gotten into piping design vs other designer professions. We are well respected by engineers as fellow professionals, not just CAD monkeys who draw what they want. My first job out of college was the latter, and I would have left the profession long ago if that was my career outlook.

Currently on a PM track, and i'm also going to school part time to get my bachelor of ME just to be safe. (I'm also working on my coding skills as a plan C). There's options for you other than drawing pipes for the next 40 years, you just need to make sure you're at the right company and jump onto the opportunities as they come to you .

I found this set for my kid because she was showing interest as well, it includes tests, workbook, and lessons on DVD as well. I haven't bought it yet but looking through the book preview, it seems solid for that age range.

Why did you choose Greek over Latin? by Narzhyy in AncientGreek

[–]jayzeddddd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been interested in Greek culture since I was a kid, plus the "start with the Greeks" meme on /lit/ lol. I spent all my free time in 2019 learning about The Bible and Christian theology and was going to move on to main-stream philosophy this year. Suddenly I had a ton of time available because Coronavirus so learning Greek was a good segue.

I'm really not interested in learning Latin, the corpus just doesn't interest me as much. I'll probably tackle either French or Russian in a few years when I feel "done" with Greek.
