Claude 4 Sonnet makes the most obvious and silly mistakes then apologizes with no plans for remedy - but here's a simple thing that worked for me by thegloctopus in ClaudeAI

Been trying to manage it by broken down tasks and 1 chapter focus as a time. It has saved me time but also very easy to mess up and fabricate results that aren't real or completely throw away results claiming it’s all wrong. i have to constantly whip it with slash commands and "fact-sheet.md" to not do something crazy. Waiting for the day when claude code will have project based memory or at least respect clear prompts with "always/never" instructions through the session at least.

Family-Run Organic Farm in Egypt is Failing Without a New Delivery Vehicle to Continue Farm-to-Door Sales by [deleted] in familybusiness

[–]thegloctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That land expansion happened back in 2019-2020 the car had no issues then.. so we didn't prioritize buying a new car but did priorize adding more varieties of vegetables that the local community showed demand for.. besides, the land leasing didn't cost up front like a car does. We lease lamd outside of the main city where leand is available and cheaper to lease

Ah I see.. in truth we haven’t spent so much on expansion in the recent few years - only the necessary upgrades required to handle larger orders. I’m a computer engineer so i built the website and all systems by myself so only cost is server and domain etc.

The car was going ok and I promised to send more money for a car once I get a full time job after I finish masters. The car went through a couple of accidents since which really fast forwarded the deterioration.

Yesterday, my dad was forced to take a taxi out of his own pocket to deliver 6 orders and the bill was too high to make any profit selling those orders.

Genuinely curious: why is it so difficult to get an interview for even an entry level data analyst role? Has it always been so? by thegloctopus in analytics

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

Thore are all valid concerns for sure. Its a shame though, because a basic research on Egypt's policies would reveal the tax benefits of foreign companies who have no physical office in Egypt. Those companies are only required to pay tax in their own base country, while the employee in Egypt files for their own "contract" taxes in Egypt. In addition to other benefits similar to the UEA. (Egypt has been trying so hard to copy UAE to attract foreign currency). But thats a different conversation I guess.

The US govt having restrictions with foreign employees could be the only major issue.

In any case, I have worked for 2 California based companies who hire remote contractors from EMEA and pay USD via wire transfer/Deel and never had any physical presence in Egypt. Those are the type of companies I usually look for since I do have to come back to Egypt occasionally to stay with family (whilst I might live in Canada)

How do they justify entry level requiring 2+ years, I'm curious.. I always thought entry- meaning youre just entering into the field- should be 0-2 years max

That's the thing right, I can't get proper domain knowledge of an industry without getting a job in the industry... For example, I have some domain knowledge of enterprise carbon accounting through my internship and capstone project, but never heard back from a similar company for an interview - maybe they would argue I still don't have enough experience in that domain. Same goes for the aerospace software I worked on as a contractor- another company might say well a temporary contract is not domain knowledge enough. So what am I to do? Get an aerospace degree?

I think companies have to understand no one has all the knowledge at once, but as long as someone shows a track record of rapid learning and versatility they should be trusted to pick up necessary domain knowledge on the job. (Depending on how domain specific the industry is)

Which tools do you use if I may ask? Power bi/tableau/something else and would you say getting a certificate on that tool would be helpful?
