    Don’t let this single conversation get you out of your way. There are more good people than bad ones but sadly condition of the job market is not the best.

    And honestly if I were asked the same question I wouldn’t give a clear answer either - it’s not only about skills but about being lucky enough for your skills to exactly match the ones that employer is searching for. If you have more you get more chances but unused skills will fade away quite quickly.

    That’s why in my opinion it’s simpler to educate yourself until time invested in education stops giving a lot of profit (basically you got to learn most commonly required skills) and then just try until you land a job

    But if there aren’t enough jobs in us market - only connections will help sadly

    I wrote my own software and used commercial plotter (from 90s - it is way faster than 3d printer) in order to achieve result that can make teacher believe that it was written. In my language it is required for letters to be connected when handwritten (my program does it), there are different variations for each letter that are stretched and rotated during generation (I used pen tablet in order to input them)

    It was written mostly when I was in 10-11th grade (that’s why the code is spaghetti) and I indeed wasted much more time than I would if I did my homework like a normal person

    Btw here is repo: https://github.com/Snow4DV/3DWriter



  • Honestly - due to stereotypes. But logically thinking I’d say that most driving routes aren’t very complicated in US when compared to European countries according to what I’ve seen in movies, dash cam videos and etc. Also IIRC most people in US live outside big cities: like in smaller towns so they mostly drive on interstates or small streets (nothing complicated). See the stop sign? Stop’n’go. Red light? Stop. Green? Go.

    I’m from Russia (many bad drivers here too so I won’t say anything bad about us haha) but in Europe it’s pretty close: many roundabouts, sometimes complicated road markings, denouements even in small cities. Streets of American cities are also engineered in simpler way: there are square blocks of houses with perpendicular intersections . So drivers simply don’t need that much rules and tend to fail in simpler situations when compared to European country when you deal with some over engineered sh.t.
