A general question that happens to be my predicament at current. I’m a general safety admin/manager that has automated most of my tasks(emails/excel sheets)
Most days I doomscroll fediverse and lurk irc/matrix channels on the work desktop but am curious about more practical or useful things I should be doing instead. It’s looking like this will be my life for a good while since job market is abysmal and promotions are hyperstagnate(have also hit a wall in improving my scripts). If anyone has any similar experiences, please share and advise, as I feel quite lost and trapped :/
You can never hit a wall with programming. You can always keep improving your scripts. You could add observability or logging. Try different languages. Create a DSL for it.
Check out Language Oriented Programming with Racket.
Create a full test suite. Unit tests. Integration tests.
Where are you running your scripts? Do you have a deployment pipeline?
Workflow tools like Apache Airflow make for nice observability.
well, it runs and accounts for every erroneous potential I can think of…but I see there is clearly much more work to be done. Thank you for the new set of challenges
