I'm embedded python because al reason has left this earth

I'm a 3 levels deep nested vlookup

Well the 'why' part is to get insight into someone's personality too. That's the other point of the question.

So, for me, CONCAT because I'm simplistic and like bringing everything together neatly and efficiently. No band-aid solutions with a bunch of ampersands. But also a bit of a VSTACK kinda guy because I'm lazy and always looking for the smartest way to get things done with minimal effort. I guess that's basically the vertical version of CONCAT for arrays, really...

Definitely. No question is a stupid question. No pace is too slow if you're learning. Every brain learns with a snowball effect that it doesn't notice, until one day someone says, "Damn. You're like a whiz at this stuff, huh?"

The "most" people you mention are simply doing something they're disinterested in. Sadly, this seems to be most people. But I could have a career in many things; mechanic, business planner, conservationist, counselor, physician, goes on and on, they're all appealing. I like problem-solving. I used to do graphic design and people said I was great at it, but I realised I just like learning the software and nailing the criteria. I actually really didn't like creating new stuff. Tried learning and my brain would just switch off. Beyond the basics of art theory, my brain just didn't give a fuck. So I realised I liked the problem-solving part and started learning analytics and that's certainly scratched the itch. Years on, can't stop learning, must level up. Must solve harder problems. Must get Eureka dopamine hit after a soul-crushing week of data riddles.

Got a new hire that started five months ago that was definitely not the strongest candidate and very new to the field. They're a sponge and knew they would be. But a few times I've busted them still on Teams way after work hours. I don't like that at all and there's definitely no reason for them to be, but clearly playing with data and learning it has become a hobby. We'll see after their honeymoon phase with it is over...if it even ends.

Where I live, entry level is around $75K ($50K USD) which I thought is pretty normal. Someone with a few years experience and knows their way around lands around $90-110K. Depending on responsibility, experienced roles can be up to $150K. Sort of tops out there unless getting more into running data and analytics rather than hands-on.

$17/hr USD is just a bit more than what I was on at 19 serving at Sizzler, many, many years ago.

^^^ This is the real answer. I often don't know what questions to ask until I actually get my hands dirty. I don't know what I don't know.

In math class, I often remember listening to the teacher and thinking I understood everything, but once I started the homework I realized that I didn't.

I figure people often do have questions, but they dont know the questions are yet.

Thank you for saying this
