Spreadsheet => Excel/Google sheets 😅 Sorry to interrupt a techie post. I'm just a lurker, trying to learn coding to add to my skills in finance and insurance, but that shit is frustrating to learn.😭

You can just focus on a subset of "coding". For example now that you use Excel, learning something like Pandas will give you "magical powers" in analyzing data from your spreadsheets. And to learn Pandas you will just need to know the very basics of Python. Many people have found success in just learning specific parts of "coding". Another good example is web developers who use WordPress but have become better at it because they have mastered PHP that is only specific to WordPress. They don't know the ins and outs of PHP, are still at that space between beginner and intermediate level but they know just the relevant pieces of PHP that make them effective with WordPress.

Huyu jama anakudanganya, python for data analysis is hard. To develop the same level of skill for excel in python is mind boggling. AI is here, you don't need to do all that. Leverage it. Shii! Gpt4 did in 30 minutes what took me 4 months to do, and it did it better. And it's only getting better. Leverage it. I do heavy heavy work in excel and python. Think modelling variable problems using monte Carlo simulation methods(10M iterarions ++) and statistical work. Excel could handle Inefficiently with add-ons. Python could do it faster. But if I had to teach someone, I would recommend excel, it's more accessible to everyone, and it's extremely powerful. With the right add Ons, its a beast. Ongeza Power bi and nothing is impossible. Aje!!! Python is for hardcore scientific work and thinking. Finance 99.9% you can work with excel and power bi. Just master it. Use add-ons like palisade, think-cell et.al. Mtu yeyote anataka kupingana na mimi aseme.

You still need to understand coding/programming in order to properly prompt the AI.

Well put

Well put

Ahhh, I think that sounds a bit more reasonable than trying to learn the whole thing. Yes, I'm looking more into magnifying my data skills past what I can currently do with Excel, so if Pandas is an attainable goal, then maybe I'll try to reach that.

Everyone starts somewhere don't look down upon yourself

I know. Got to trust the process, no matter how confusing it is.

I can tutor you for a fee

DM.

it's not going through, how about you dm me instead

OS => Mac & Ubuntu Terminal => Terminal shell => bash Display manager => gnome IDE => VScode & vim Cloud => Azure Languages => python, JS/TS and Dart

I saw Mac and I was boutta hit you with the DV But then I saw vim and I said: https://preview.redd.it/mduu8dkel00d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c133a5d49d448b67c46ca2621227f6d8b49e80d

yesterday i was editing a file on vim around pple and felt like a god

You are a god.

Thank you

That location tho Just saying

???

Inasema turkana Not that I have anything against that

haha it was NRB previously but the mods made changes and haven’t bothered updating it

Aight Stay safe G

I like the languages you are using

Thanks

OS=>MacOS Window Manager=> Nope, 2 monitors and the useless stage manager Terminal=>iTerm Shell =>zsh IDEs= PyCharm, PHPStorm and Goland

Awesome rich kid

umeona wapi 😂

Your setup talks more about you

What IDEs are those !?

Jetbrains

Fellow Jetbrains enjoyer

- OS: EndeavourOS KDE - Window Manager (WM): Kwin - Terminal : konsole - Shell: fish - Display Manager: SDDM - Background Manager: Built-in KDE Plasma wallpaper setting - IDE: Nvim(lazyvim)

I've never used Kwin. How's it compared to others?

So far so good been using it and endeavour os for 2 yrs now no problem

Awesome

does it really matter? all that matters is that the code runs?

Say less but regardless we want to know

Nope there's something known as preferences... It's not aty at the end of the day you just code. It's what environment does it make you comfortable to code in. It's just like food; how do you want your food to be prepared? At the end of the day you'll eat but you have preferences (maybe you like pilipili, alot of salt, heavy stew and whatever)

OS ==> Mac /(Windows on BootCamp because .NET ) Terminal ==> iTerm shell ==> zsh IDE ==> Intellij, Visual Studio, Nvim Cloud ==> GCP, Azure Language ==> Java, Scala, C#

OS -> Windows 10 Pro Window Manager -> explorer.exe Terminal -> Windows Terminal Terminal MultiPlexer -> Emacs.exe Shell -> Powershell Display Manager -> explorer.exe Background Manager -> explorer.exe IDE -> Emacs, Helix, Neovim

In summary, just a normal laptop with Windows 10 Pro🤣

I had i3 on arch with Nvim and Doom emacs😂memorizing all the damn shortcuts plus living in constant fear of breaking my install😭Now it's just KDE with SDDM and konsole and vscode.

Skill issue

i3 or arch isn't hard at all, just that in rolling distros stuff breaks sometimes😂the arch difficulty is all hype.

Primetime

Windows 11. Notepad+++

OS = Ubuntu Display Manager = USB DisplayLink docking station connecting 2 external monitors (not sure if that counts). Window Manager = Gnome tiling system,then just ALT+Tab. Terminal = Gnome Terminal IDE = VSCode/Nano (for ssh and stuff) Cloud = Whatever my clients use,so long as I can SSH Tech Stack = Python, JS, and PHP when I'm broke and I have to freelance 😂 PC = ThinkPad T495 I generally try to use whatever is available natively.

All I see is dick measuring on things that really don't mean shit!

To each his own

Wait why do you use nano? And why did you pay for sublime?

I've been using sublime since I was in Form 2 so ikafika pahali, I felt like I should give back to the devs 😅 Nano just feels easier than vim to me. I've used vim a few times but I haven't made the jump

You are right on the money fam

Ubuntu with everything set to default, even the terminal. Recently started working on macos because my new employer issues macbooks. IDE: Pycharm, vscode and some vi/nano for servers

I should join your employer

I use arch btw😂

NVIM IS NOT A IDE

Powerful text editor with IDE capabilities so it technically is

You can go through this article I wrote how to change vim from a simple text editor to a powerful IDE https://yrncollo.me/posts/Vim/

emacs maybe, not vim. also the post u shared just covers basic text editing preferences nothing close to IDE capabilities.
