Bc I want the opportunity to work on multiple clients across industries in a shorter timeframe without having to formally join/onboard/resign at a place. And I want the opportunity to travel for work. And I want the opportunity to be able to work from any office location if I happen to be traveling.

Data analytics, just working up the levels at Accenture. Manager now, approaching SM

Came from college. Stayed for years for the travel perks and ability to try new things. Finally found something I enjoy doing and now it’s been so long that I’m just too comfortable to leave. Plus I’m not an engineering background and wouldn’t go into tech so the pay here is good enough for me.

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.

Quick survey: Do you guys think having a template package to envelope an ML model as an application would be helpful. The package could contain boiler plate template for unit test, docker image, CI/CD, database connectors etc and act as a starting point for doing that. Tech firms usually have that internally but limited options in open source.
