I've been looking at job postings here locally, and to my surprise, there are plenty of job postings. In general, the employers in my area want someone who knows Python, JS, MySQL, and OOP. This helps me focus on these areas, knowing local employers want people with these skills.

Started a Pytorch series from Codemy on YT, which is excellent! Got to the lesson on OOP and immediately switched to an OOP tutorial series from Corey Shafer so I could understand the Pytorch tutorial more. I guess this is how it is. Go here. Go there. Go everywhere!

Primary learning priorities:
> Practice Python every day
> Continue my back-end development learning through Boot.dev (currently building a book bot)
> Small study blocks with Pytorch/Numpy & SQL

Learning Software Development has been a little annoying using only my Android Tablet A8. I'm able to use Termux and perform plenty of tasks, and I really like the tablet! But I just ordered a used ThinkPad T480s from eBay. I'll be using it as my daily driver from now on.

Stellantis used a mandatory remote work day to lay off 400 employees. My advice to all those people is to get over it. They don't need you, so you're fired. This is how a business operates. And when one door closes, another door opens.

Just heard a lip filler ad on a tech startup podcast episode. That made me laugh.

About 1/3 of the way through the Terminal & Shells course on boot.dev. I'm using Termux for the first time. It's seriously fun learning in this environment!

Learning Python has been a real struggle for me. When you have a family and full-time career, finding the time to learn new things can be a real challenge! I'm almost tempted to let tools like ChatGPT/Co Pilot do the majority of the work for me up front and learn along the way. Is that bad?

The saddest part of my job when qualifying people for a refinance is learning they have little to no savings at all. My greatest fear is growing old and not having a nest egg.

If you ask ChatGPT to tell you more about APIs, you get a very technical response. That's no fun for a beginner level programmer. So I asked ChatGPT to dumb it down some, and here's the response:
"An API is like a waiter in a restaurant who takes your order and delivers it to the kitchen."

1) Bugs are unexpected, and your code needs to be fixed
2) Errors are expected, and you handle it by raising an exception and alert the user

Python wisdom from the creator himself!
Guido Van Rossum was asked by Lex Friedman, "How should you learn Python?" His response was simple yet profound: "Find something you want to do with it."

Curly brackets in Python can be used for a dictionary or a set. What's the difference between the two?
1) A dictionary holds both a key & value
2) A set has individual elements
Example 1)
{"key1": "value1"}
Example 2)
{"element"}
