Seeing the discourse regarding fellow meteorologists wanting to learn computer programming. Here is where learning computer programming started for me back in 2022 with my first programming language being Python (Python is the most important language for meteorology): www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fOf...
MetPy Mondays #1 - Conda Installation

🧵Here is the Drewitz roadmap/technique for learning computer programming:
1) Watch video tutorials (MetPy Mondays!!) and learn about environments and write some basic weather-related Python scripts. Recommend coding along the tutorials in a Jupyter Lab/Notebook.

I'm hearing all over the radio this week about "tips on how to avoid politics at the Thanksgiving dinner table" and I thought to myself "Regardless if I'm celebrating Thanksgiving at my parent's house in NY or with my gf's family here in CA, there are zero MAGA people at the table eitherway."

This new Julia language seems interesting. However, I think it's unlikely for it to fully replace Python because it is not a general purpose language. Thoughts?

The U.S. must stand with Ukraine. I don't understand why these Republicans want to fight Israel's wars for them when none of that benefits the U.S. Meanwhile, Ukraine is actively weakening one of the 2 biggest adversaries of the U.S. which greatly benefits the U.S. Ukraine is a much better cause. 🇺🇦

Seeing all the GOP division nowadays it is bleak to be a Republican. I am hopeful that the post-Trump GOP will be so divided it will be 1932 Democrats all over again! The Democrats need to find who our 21st century FDR is and this could be a lock. We want the platform of Roosevelt, not Clinton.

I don't care if you get the picture or the video of a tornado. Do not run through red lights to do it. While a photo or a video may seem cool, it provides little to no value as a contribution to the field of meteorology and is not worth you risking everything by speeding through red lights.

When looking at the rankings of how widely used each programming language is in 2025, I wonder if I teleported back to 2013 and told people "Python will CRUSH Java in the next decade", how many of them would believe me?

The "Department of Government Efficiency" has disbanded eight months early.
DOGE sowed chaos throughout the government and disrupted services relied upon by millions, while finding hardly any savings.
Here's what you should know about damage that DOGE leaves behind.

It's a bad enough look to post something like this on X. But in my opinion, it's an even worse look to post this on a platform like LinkedIn given LinkedIn is a professional platform while X is not.

I don't feel bad for bad actors like Andrew Tate, but I do genuinely feel bad for men who share whatever sentiment Tate is trying to describe here. Loneliness is a hardship many young men quietly deal with, I did myself for part of my 20s, though I never believed this garbage.

‘That doesn’t exist’: Doge reportedly quietly disbanded ahead of schedule
Statement by Trump administration confirms longstanding suspicions that Musk-led agency is on its way out
The “department of government efficiency” (Doge) has apparently been dissolved with eight months still remaining on its contract, ending a drawn-out campaign of invading federal agencies and firing thousands of federal workers.
“That doesn’t exist,” office of personnel management (OPM) director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about Doge’s status, adding that it was no longer a “centralized entity”. Continue reading...

Remember when we all acted like DOGE was a legitimate and legal government entity that we should take seriously and follow all their orders for some inexplicable reason? That was so weird.
The White House quietly shut down the Department of Government Efficiency today.

Kinda sad to see Nimmo join DeGrom on the Rangers. He will be missed. I hope Marcus Semien is good considering he is who we are getting for Brandon Nimmo.

Great news for my federal employee colleagues! Good bye and good riddance to the piece of shit formerly known as DOGE! We were all waiting for the day for DOGE to get DOGE'ed and RIF'fed!
BREAKING: President Trump has shut down the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
The agency was originally scheduled to last until July 4, 2026

A January 6th insurrectionist is calling for the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump. This really shows how much he lost his base. MAGA is dead and the Republican Party is likely to get a trouncing from the Democratic Party come the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential election.

I'm surprised that Elon Musk added a good feature to twitter that is potentially crippling to MAGA. I like the feature that shows you which country the account is based in. A lot of MAGA accounts that have large followings are based in Russia, Eastern Europe, India, Nigeria and Bangladesh.

My 1st grade teacher showing our class a video of tornado chasing is what got me into meteorology when I was 6 years old. One major passion I didn't discover I had until I was several years into being a professional is computer science/software engineering applications in meteorology.
