You should try being assertive, you can look it up, but essentially it's a healthier communication style that emphasizes on facts and feeling. For example, you shouldn't say you don't care for me, instead say you cancelling our date made me feel dismissed.

You can look it up online, essentially it's a middle ground between being passive or aggressive.

Keep in mind that every feeling is valid, and trying to pursuade someone otherwise is the art of gaslighting. Emotional manipulation and gaslighting, are common in a Narcissist's playbook, if you feel you emotions are invalidated don't angry, instead leave it's not worth your time.

Are you high? ๐Ÿคฃ Jokes aside, I would be interested to know why you are asking these questions.

  1. Yes, I am intelligent, a lot of people have been impressed by the speed I digest a new piece of information.
  2. I have wisdom to know that intelligence plays a very insignificant part in shaping my identity. As for putting my intelligence into good use, I am not sure I can answer yes. I am too idealistic for my own good.
  3. IMO humans are unique and similar at the same time. Though, we got to be careful when trying to identify our similarities (see biopolitics, especially M. Foucault).

IMO we need to break it in a few independent but cooperating decentralized systems;

  1. A transportation service where consumers will request the transportation of goods or people from point A to point B, and providers will make bids for those requests.
  2. A storage service where providers will offer storage of goods at specific locations, and consumers that make requests for the storage.
  3. A LC service, where two parties can enter an letter-of-credit (LC) contract, and providers can guarantee the contract.

If these systems are available, it would be possible to implement additional decentralized services like;

  • Marketplaces.
  • Passenger transportation services.
  • Food delivery.
  • Probably many more.

I know you are asking for something different, but since there are already a few good answers, allow me to instead to reject the premise and give you a different.

It's not impossible to implement an AI solution within the context your provided. The problem is that it's going to be expensive. However, you can offer to deliver something smaller, focus on the smallest but valuable contribution you can make. While cleaning up the data is still going to be a hell of task, if the scope is small enough it can be achievable. Then, you can communicate the difficulty to scale due to data issues which can help management undestand the importance of prioritizing data quality.

If you have a bunch of sales data, maybe you can focus on deriving purchase patterns and build a simple recommendations engine. If you want to focus on marketing, you could try lead classification. Ideas depend on the domain of the company you work for.

The best feeling of my lie? Getting fired after returning from vacations.

Friendly reminder that the high seas are always an option. Download stremio, install the torrentio addon, and you are good to go.

Is anyone interested in starting a book club? Right now I am reading "Implementing Domain-Driven Design" by Vaugn Vernon.

I am considering starting a channel about software engineering. I want to be able to fully switch to open source development, and I am hoping that the channel can become a healthy stream of income in the future.

That's not the case for me, I can start doing stuff while talking with someone that is sitting, watching TV, or whatever.

I think having someone near your serves two purposes:

  1. It helps your brain produce happiness juice (dopamine), that makes doing stuff easier.
  2. They act as an anchor, helping you stay at one place and focus on what you should be doing, like a physical reminder.

If other people negatively impact your ability to get things done, I would suggest looking into it. Maybe you are subconsciously copying them, or you feel same shame doing stuff while others are not. I am not trying to invalidate your experience, just suggesting that it's possible you can gain a better understanding of it if you dive deeper.

I would give myself a solid 4.2/5 on python.

  • I have in deepth knowledge of more than a few popular libraries including flask, django, marshmallow, typer, sqlalchemy, pandas, numpy, and many more.
  • I have authored a few libraries.
  • I have been keeping up with PEPs, and sometimes offered my feedback.
  • I have knowledge of the internals of development tooling, including mypy, pylint, black, and a pycharm plugin I have created.

I wouldn't give myself a 5/5 since I would consider that an attainable level of expertise, with maybe a few expections around the globe. IMO the fun part of being really good at something is that you understand there still is to learn โค๏ธ
