I make a million spreadsheets for my personal life (weekly planner and goals tracking) with custom formulas and conditional formatting (including auto conditional formatting for my spend line if the cell value is more than the expected daily value), and it auto highlights cells that are weekends based on today’s date so if I create a new tab for a new month I don’t have to do anything else manually formatting-wise (it’s a beauty and i don’t know who else will appreciate it lol)
Also made an excel tracker and dashboard to track my monthly income / spend, with custom formulas to track remaining $/day , remaining % of budget, etc.

I have a raspberry pi hooked up to a sensor that reads my water meter (it’s in the basement due to cold climate) based on a trained ML model. Set up a pipeline to access the data in the cloud, got a local streamlit dashboard running that I use to see usage. Need to set up pub/sub messaging for it so I get alerts 🤣

Additional Posts in Data & Analytics Consultants

Anyone know of an alternative to StackOverflow for asking tech questions? The community is super toxic and I'm looking for a place I can casually ask questions that might seem dumb without being hrangued for not providing an essay proof of the research I've already done. Or some sort of buddy system where I can ping a person of relevant experience those questions. It's better to poke someone's brain for a minute than to spin in circles reading docs/dead end articles sometimes.

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
