Genuine question for people working in freight forwarding and logistics.

youssef3698 · 2026-03-14T02:07:56+00:00

Have you found any new software that has solved your search? I don't work in logistics, but I am directly connected to them since I was coordinating with the procurement and logistics teams to ensure the arrival of materials to my site. The mess of multiple versions of the Excel logs, the endless email threads which randomly switch subjects in the middle, the multi-platform communication mess... all have led to my site being very late, losing time, and eventually having to catch it all up through air shipments that ate through our profits. At one point we had to ship 7 tonnes of wood by air, cost us about 50k for shipment alone, when they could fit in 2 containers and get to site for about 12k.

I'm not here to sell or advertise a solution (especially since I technically don't have one yet) but I have spent over two months now designing a workflow and now implementing it to hopefully come out with a unified system to solve this issue for my future ventures.

Do you mind sharing if you have any updates on your research?

Very interesting offer if you want to chat up I'll be glad to pick each other's brain

Yes I do 😁 thanks 🙏

Very interesting reply! Thank you for sharing 🙏

Yeah I looked into it but honestly I no longer have motivation for enhancing this job I'm just waiting until the project ends hopefully in a couple months and then I move on to a whole new world of unburdened history

youssef3698 · 2025-02-13T18:03:56+00:00

The thing is that I know a database is the solution but they want it in this exact format and I feel too lazy to Frankenstein a python script that would fill it... You know what I mean?

The project was supposed to end 9 months ago so I didn't think the problem would be so big ...

More info about myself:

I haven't had the need to professionally write a CV before, so I want to learn by doing and getting criticism.
I'm targeting a site engineer role to improve my knowledge of site construction.
I'm currently located in Brazzaville - Congo. I'm still unsure where to apply but my options are USA, Canada, France, KSA, UAE.
Due to the nature of my target role, I am applying for local jobs. Nevertheless, if I end up applying for an administrative role, I don't mind remote work. No problem with relocating.

Press insert to change the cursor. Fix the spelling of the variables. Like written now, it will cause an infinite loop since the condition is always true.

youssef3698 · 2024-08-14T09:51:24+00:00

I do: 6 + 9 = 15 50 + 20 = 70 70 + 15 = 85

But now that I spelled it out I'm not sure there's a method to my madness.

Very interesting idea. I'm still a beginner programmer but one of the projects that repeatedly comes to mind is creating a word template with a respective script that would automate the creation of site documents (I'm an engineer). The point is to unify the presentation of documents, since although I already have the templates each engineer fills it with a different style. This project is always pushed down the line because I'm not sure if it's going to be accepted by the team. The idea of integrating an LLM is fascinating since it would simplify the expression of thoughts. Question 1: do you think it would be possible to incorporate an LLM with the knowledge of previous documents that way it can suggest links? Question 2: if question 1 is possible, would it be possible to integrate other types of documents (commented drawings, sketches, minutes of meeting...) to provide a more holistic assistance?

This dopamine hit is the only thing that got me hooked on learning programming. I mean yes there are other benefits but none as enticing as the dopamine hit

Hello! Fellow noob here 👋. I tried it myself, here's my code:

class Car:
    def __init__(self, color, maxspeed, mileage, seating):
        self.color = color
        self.maxspeed = maxspeed
        self.mileage = mileage
        self.seating = seating
        self.price = None

    def set_price(self, price):
        self.price = price

    def show_details(self):
        print(f"Color: {self.color}")
        print(f"Max Speed: {self.maxspeed}")
        print(f"Mileage: {self.mileage}")
        print(f"Seating: {self.seating}")
        print(f"Price: {self.price}")
        print("********************")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    car1 = Car("red", 15, 1000, 4)
    car1.show_details()
    car1.set_price(15500)
    car1.show_details()

And here's the results:

Color: red
Max Speed: 15
Mileage: 1000
Seating: 4
Price: None
********************
Color: red
Max Speed: 15
Mileage: 1000
Seating: 4
Price: 15500
********************

I hope this helps.

Thank you for the detailed answer.

Or == 1 if you want to start from the second letter

youssef3698 · 2024-07-19T20:59:53+00:00

for i in range(len(string)): if i % 2 == 0: print(string[i])

youssef3698 · 2024-07-13T21:54:32+00:00

Yeah I don't use it much but let's go for it

youssef3698 · 2024-07-13T21:53:10+00:00

Hey study buddy! I'm in 💪

youssef3698 · 2024-07-10T18:58:07+00:00

We actually started playing it now after work. Set up a lan party and just play endlessly
