I spend a lot of my time at the terminal for my daily work, mostly in Linux or wsl. One big reason for using wsl over cmd.exe is the ease of walking through history that fzf provides. This week we had a windows bug in a cli and I was stuck in vanilla cmd.exe 😭

I wanted a super simple way to cross-link blog posts that require as little effort as possible, yet still looks good in vanilla markdown in GitHub. I have been using a snippet that puts HTML into the markdown. While this works, it's more manual/difficult for me does not look the best, and does not read well as

`find-kedro` is a small library to enhance your kedro experience. It looks through your modules to find kedro pipelines, nodes, and iterables (lists, sets, tuples) of nodes. It then assembles them into a dictionary of pipelines, each module will create a separate pipeline, and `__default__` being a combination of all pipelines. This format is compatible with the kedro `_create_pipelines` format.

description: happiness in the workplace

---


Today I want to take some time to talk about the things that make me happy in my work environment. This is completely free-flow off the cuff, but are things that I do that make me happy, not having them would definitely be a deal breaker for me .

### Attitude

A positive work atmosphere goes a long ways. We all have enough negativity going on in our lives that is out of our control accepting any negativity in the workplace is a no go for me. There was a point in which I was suffering a lot of negativity at work. This began to trickle into every part of life, and it became hard to see positivity anywhere. My wife not only noticed this, but put a polite request in for change. It was definitely a low point and she could tell tell that my work life was not helping anything.

**Bring the positivity** to your workplace. It is really difficult for folks to tear you down if you are the one that is always up beat and happy. **People will notice**. When they do they will bring the good projects your way, Praise you for your hard work, and Ask for and value your advice.

### Helping People

**Helping people** is part of who I am, I cannot change that. I rarely turn someone away who comes to me looking for help. I will give nearly anyone 15 minutes to help them reach thier goals. I dont care if they are in a completely different part of my organization, if they will ever return the favor, or how it will look on my performance review.

Being in the position that I am in I am graced with access to many data sets, that I can query en masse. It's not uncommon that I have someone come to me that has access to get the data they need but will take them 2 days to mine out the information they need one at a time every quarter. I can save them these 2 days, increase their data quality, and increase its refresh rate by writing 10 lines of sql in about 5 minutes. I hear so oftem from people why I do this, It's just part of who I am. The benefits are that everytime I do this I build connections with many folks from a very broad range of backgrounds.

### Learning

**Learning** is one of the things that drive me to get excited to come to work every single day. I am always looking for new techniques to improve my workflow, soft skills, and technical skills. This keeps me confident that if something happens that I need to find another gig I am current with the latest tech and ready to hire in somewhere else. It's also very enjoyable to watch my products improve, and be able to pump them out at faster and faster rates.

### Grind

![laser focus](https://media.giphy.com/media/3oEduGi1UWg9Q6nF84/giphy.gif)
Laser Focus - courtesy [giphy](https://giphy.com/)

The last thing is that I need is a few hours of undistracted time to grind. After I help some folks, and keep up with the latest skills I need to focus, **Laser Focus**. I have a lot going on outside of work, so in order for me to keep some sort of balance I need to chrun out some quality hours of progress, otherwise I get behind, stressed, anxious, and start to loose my work-life balance as it is important for me to meet the deadlines that I commit to.

_This is my story into data science._

## The Journey Begins

I am addicted to the process of learning and improving my skills nearly to a fault. The reason I say nearly is because my addiction is fueled with results. I crave the output of my work enhance the work of others. I jump with joy as I see users gain insights they could have never imagined before. My mouth starts watering as I see their boring repetitive data mining activites be completed in a matter of seconds, opening up their mind to focus on their expertise. The day I stop learning will be the day that I start looking for another career path.

> It's not all about winning.
_~Mom_

This happened to me in 2014. I have a mechanical engineering degree and had a really good position at the time. I owned full engineering control of a small subset of engine components. The problem was that Everything is so proprietary and hardly documented the process of learning did not click with me. I felt like I had learned a lot about the product early on, and was stuck without any more resources to learn more. On the side, I had started learning python and data science techniques to enhance my job.

I was addicted. I felt like there is so much knowledge easily obtained online in my free time, and I was able to take it back to my job and achieve results. Every time I feel like I have reached the peak of anyone's topic the fog clears and I can now see a whole new mountain range that I did not know existed.

## Love the Journey

By 2017 I was really good at gaining results for our business and decided to make the jump to the data science team. I have achieved great results, and have been recognized as a high contributor to our business. Still, I do not feel like I have won. My goals are always moving and will always be 3-6 months ahead of me. I truly enjoy the process of learning and providing value so much that I will never let myself sit back and think that I have won and its time to reap the rewards of my hard work. I will say that I am winning. Not because of any results, awards, or recognition, but because I am happy. I have found a career path that I really enjoy the journey and I am not just trying to get on the fast track to a destination.

🏷️ Long variable names are a good thing. Self documenting code is more important than poorly documented code. Simply adding a few characters to your variable names can go a long ways.
