I know what I’ll be doing April 1st 🤣

sounds less to do with the country and more to do with the work culture of your team to me. I wish we were all this lucky lol

the pain today is real for my IT buddies

if reddit has a specific use for you that you’re unable to find anywhere else, you should utilize reddit and not feel bad about it.

maybe one day, lemmy will be a proper alternative for people in your position, but there’s no use trying to stay away from reddit if you’re unable to do your job effectively without it. good luck.

i would say no, as there can be programming you can begin that doesn’t involve math. what I would recommend is to begin your own project by looking to see what you can automate in your life.

when I was in middle school, I told a teacher I wanted to program when I got older, and she scared me because she said that involves a lot of math. at the time, I hated math, so I avoided programming completely. it wasn’t until I was 24 that I gave it a shot and was so upset at how misinformed I was. I wish I could turn back time, but oh well.

is there something you do at your current job that you think can be automated?

this is exactly how I started. I looked at my job to see what I can do to solve an issue we were having using python and, even though my final script was a complete mess, it worked. learned SO much along the way
