Hi Michael,
thanks for helping out! :)
Is there a place where I can ask for feedback about my project?

Michael Tharrington • Oct 6 '22

Heyo Sebastian,

No probs, I'd be happy to help! And this is a great question.

I think the best way to do this would be to write a short post that links to your project & gives some basic info on what it's all about, then end your post by asking readers for feedback. Something like:

I hope you enjoyed learning about my project. If you would, please leave me some constructive feedback in the comments!

Other suggestions:

you have the ability to add 4 tags to your post — use them all so that your post is more likely to be seen! Of course, make sure to use tags that fit the topic of your post
on the tag note, I'd recommend using the tags #discuss, #showdev, & possibly #help (btw, click into those links to get to each tag's landing page and read through their submission guidelines on the left-hand side to ensure you're following the rules for the tags)
let folks know in the title of your post that you're going to be looking for feedback so that they know what they're getting into! You could title it something like "Looking for Feedback on My Personal Project" or "Feedback Wanted: I'm Creating X" (X being the name of your project"
if your project is on GitHub, you can link to the repo using embeds which just looks nice. 😀

These are some of the things that I think I'd do if I was in your shoes. If you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to hit me back up!

Your collection of landing pages is impressive. We will provide you with a good mattress cover that will provide your body with the necessary cushioning and support, as well as

How to make a firm mattress softer? Silk and Snow Toppers could be the best option to make your mattress soft. I believe these are the perfect lead-generation landing pages. Could we use it on the WordPress website? Do I need to hire a developer to use it? Please let me know so I can make a wise decision. Thanks

Hi all,
New to coding just started learning Python.
👍

Britny • Oct 11 '22

Python is one of my favorite languages! I haven't used it in years, but I am re-learning it and re-familiarizing myself with all of its capabilities. How is the learning going so far?

Simon • Oct 11 '22

Good so far but a little slow due to work but I keep on trying to squeeze in 30 minutes in my lunch break and in the train but I M enjoying it so far. What do mainly use these days?

Britny • Oct 11 '22

That's good. A little every day is the way to go when busy with work, I think. My current position has me mainly focused on report development in PowerBI and querying data using SQL. But due to my history with Python and the openness of my company allowing me to explore other options and solutions I am trying to get back into Python to test out its capabilities.

Simon • Oct 12 '22

I am sure you will pick Python again without much issue and shouldn’t take you long as you said you have used it previously and as you work with large data sets already Python will enhance what you already do.

Britny • Oct 12 '22

Thank you for the vote of confidence! It is already feeling familiar but still new as I'm using libraries I haven't previously used. I am excited to keep moving forward and yes that is my hope, that Python can enhance what I am already doing. What languages and programs are you typically using right now?

Simon • Oct 24 '22

My apologies for the massively delayed response. Just started learning Python 🐍 recently and mainly for package management and automation as something to enhance the MDM offerings with the business, their are a lot smarter people at my company than me, so I am just soaking up as much knowledge as I can and trying not to get overwhelmed. My current idea is to incorporate custom actions with macOS spotlight and as such with my very limited knowledge and experience that is goal.

Britny • Oct 24 '22

No worries at all. We all get busy, I understand. That sounds like it will be a great application and use of Python, it is admirable that you are trying to learn Python to implement that improvement.

fabestah • Oct 8 '22

Hello everybody! ❤️
I fell in love with Python and coding in general a few months back and somehow a magical blue text transferred me to here 🧐
Fun fact: I'm an autist, so if I write something weird or slightly offensive in an unempathetic way, please don't feel irritated or provoked by me, I most likely didn't mean it that way 🤓
Nice to meet you all! 😊

I have joined a Developer Advocacy Program at my job and as part of the program we are working on our technical writing/blogging skills. I am here to learn from all of you and to test my hand at technical writing myself.
