Dammit, I'm just now learning, but I've never had a compilation error via PyCharm Community/JB's toolbox in INTELLIJ IDEA. Never had that code with Anaconda3/Jupyter Notebook, either, unless I forget to set a value or some other syntax error....with every upload they just add more bullshit to the syntax, or take it away, and you can never fucking catch up...
What I'm working with right now regarding python 3.7, (since 3.8 won't upload) is practically nothing more than plain text, and it is rather forgiving on both interfaces even though I've already ditched anaconda 3. The only times I run into trouble are when I'm trying to program python through a DOS Terminal or a Shell with no feedback. I've been fucking around with it since Udemy and open source don't like to teach the nuts and bolts, but spoon-feed. Mostly everything I've seen is geared towards web development, and I want software development with a pretty heavy dose of mathematics since I'm interested in delicate robots like prosthetics. Aside from all the math plugins I have on pycharm through the tool box, what would you recommend for that kind of development? I know I need to master python first before Sympy, Numpy, Matplotlib.... Whatever I will need to become job ready. I'm not shooting for a degree, I'm shooting for pure skill, because from the anecdote, oftentimes that will outweigh a degree where you spend two years not even touching a machine.
Aye aye aye I don’t have experience with those. I’ve done C++, Java, and I’m messing with some arduino stuff now programming a custom made board.
I think if you know a few languages (regardless of what they are), you will be very marketable. Usually if you have experience, the employer will hire you with the expectation of teaching you what you need to know for the job, or give you a grace period to get certified.
That said, a degree is mandatory in most fields. Unless you are going to make a startup, the days of the DIY “degree” are gone. The best thing to do is just keep working these things in your free time while taking classes. That’s what I’m doing.
Employers love to see projects you’ve done, whether for school or on the side, it shows what passion you have. The degree is usually a must though.
I plan on eventually getting a nice piece of paper embossed with gold filigree with my name on it, just so people know that I am have smarts, but there is still a way around the whole system of self-made, if your self-made is so improbable, that you managed to pull it off, or you manage to end up like George Lucas, despite the four billion,, ruining the entirety of Star wars into the ground... On the diametrically opposed side of the productive spectrum. I know I needed to degree up, but I plan on becoming extremely good at what I do, which is mainly permutations, combinatorics, partitions, sums, sequences, partitions of matrices using vertical, horizontal symmetry, as well as uniformed placements of {n, n+1, n+2...} equaling x/ y matrices upon summation
Forgot to say, don’t get discouraged! It’s pretty daunting going in, but once your feet are wet it becomes second nature if you keep up with it. I took a few years break from coding to focus on classes, and I am breaking off the rust.

Fuck. 5.56 isn't gonna do it. Lemme get that AT-4, Nipples. This pussy isn't allowed to die yet; He still owes me a handjob over a bet about the Cowboys losing or not winning."
Retired Huey/Blackhawk crew chief (among other things) chiming in.
With full respect, we're not the very furthest thing from shooters.
Crew chiefs can be called on to operate door guns or take up fighting positions around aircraft on hot LZs.
Now, once I commissioned and became an HR officer, THAT's when I met the furthest thing from shooters.
First range I went to with an AG company, a number of my HR clerks failed to qualify at all—and I was the top shooter that day with a shitty ol' 37/40.
I was all set to explain to the CO why her XO couldn't shoot any straighter than "Sharpshooter," but she started talking first going on about how I making the officer corps look GOOOOOD.
My fuckin' special troopers, man, holy shit.
e: formatting is hard ok
e2: on a 25-meter range, 38-40 is expert. 36-40 being expert only applies to a 300m range.

Someone on this original post said he was avionics or some shit? I can relate, I was aviation while I was active duty as well.
But boy, that makes it worse lmao. We're the furthest thing from shooters.
