A general question that happens to be my predicament at current. I’m a general safety admin/manager that has automated most of my tasks(emails/excel sheets)
Most days I doomscroll fediverse and lurk irc/matrix channels on the work desktop but am curious about more practical or useful things I should be doing instead. It’s looking like this will be my life for a good while since job market is abysmal and promotions are hyperstagnate(have also hit a wall in improving my scripts). If anyone has any similar experiences, please share and advise, as I feel quite lost and trapped :/
This is me.
I do 30 minutes of checks in the morning, check email, and attend the standup. After that i got hours to kill.
I teach myself things.
Learned how to mine crypto. Learned advanced bash. Learned boto3 and started automating aws shit Wrote 2 books on automating aws shit. Played alot of online dungeon crawlers. Learned how to code a dungeon crawler. Leaned how to code a 2d scoller game. Inked alot of comic sketched from (then) deviant art.
Just to name a few
Getting paid to make personal advancement is a pretty good deal.
