Did not, I’m describing things you can do with gis across the spectrum, ESRI or not, preferably once you have a decent python foundation. Edit I and others are saying “do some non GIS projects in python FIRST, then explore these GIS related things.” Because jumping to scripting in arc pro alone isn’t advised.

Why are you being combative? I’m not hating on them at all. I literally just rattled off common file formats, libraries, and projects to consider. The original comment says they scraped a few things together from tutorials, and I and other comments are discussing how to build a strong foundation, then extend it.

I’ve got no ill will for OP.

Knowing how to script a bit in arc pro does not really mean you know anything about python, or programming for GIS at even a basic professional level. That’s ok, no hate, everyone starts out. Checking out various software, formats and libraries, in addition to getting the python basics down will open a huge world of projects and even work opportunities

Agree, I don’t think I went against that. I certainly didn’t say it’s JUST geojson and web map. That was just a list of keywords. I opened by saying these are more things to get excited about.

If it’s just esri (they said q too), but if it’s just esri, automate the boring stuff + arcpy and you’ll be a happy camper.

Cartographic stuff is super simple in any framework. Data processing and network topology are great things to study that aren’t web map. Remote sensing is the coolest shit and you can literally get free imagery and use free tools to make surface analysis and identification…not as a super raw beginner, but not long after.

Learning about the common open source file formats, storage strategies, and processing libraries is attainable (and desirable) by a beginner who has automate the boring stuff under their belt

Jumping straight into esri and staying there, without getting some general education, is a good way to end up not knowing much about python, and generally developing weaker workflows.and automations, in my professional experience.

Like I said, learn some python basics and good habits, then consider gis.

Get the basics locked.in before dipping into GIS.

Edit, because someone misunderstood me… You’ll have an easier time extending your existing GIS work by getting a nice foundation of non GIS python skills.

There’s a lot of odd patterns and domain specific requirements in the spatial data world, not even mentioning the nasty beast that esri is.

Provided you listen to my above advice, here are some other keywords that will help excite the home-gis dev: geopandas, (pandas), geojson, geopackage, QGIS, leaflet (not python but easy to connect a leaflet frontend with a python backend), openstreermaps, map box, earthexplorer (USGS free aerial imagery of lots of imagery types)

If it must be esri based, arcpy is a popular library.

Yep. The long advancement ramp should be seen as the enjoyable point of the play, not a speed bump. If you aren’t built that way, it won’t be fun

Vintage story is pretty cool too, if you’re looking for a longer advancement ramp

This commenter passes the society test lol

Huh odd. Works for me. It’s indeed an odd link

Then backup whatever you set your docker local storage to?

Best posture is your next posture

My guy, I’m not arguing that terrible genocide isn’t happening. It’s a hypothetical about how when people aren’t dead, hypothetically ending the conflict can save their lives. This is why the rate matters.

You are latched on to minutia, when I’m suggesting a slower, hopefully stopped genocide is better than a sped up, expanded genocide.

If the genocide kills 1 person per year, that’s better than one that kills 1,000,000 per year.

Because you are being very pedantic, let me be clear: I don’t think what’s happening now is close to 1. I don’t claim 1 or 1,000,000 is the accurate number. It’s an illustration.

Trumps team has made clear they want wider war. So WHATEVER is going on now is not enough for the trump team. Pick your number, pick your actors pick your locations. I’m not contesting any of it. I’m saying whatever you say is happening now, they want more.

Huh? That’s insane. We hope that an existing genocide is slower, obviously ideally slow = 0. More time for more lives for peace talks to bring it to an end.

I disagree that the rate, and overall scope are the same with Biden/Harris or trump. I’m contending, based on his admins own words, that things will accelerate faster, and end up worse with trump. I’m not suggesting things would be chill and peaceful with Harris.

I’ve never claimed that.

A wider genocide. A nuclear war. American soldiers actively involved, essentially another iraq war. A US administration not seeking the relative calm of the past but a 2025 with NO Palestine, no Iran, no Yemen.

Bidens admin has tried to maintain the status quo. They wish things could go back to say, 2019 status or so. It’s still shitty, it’s still unjust for Palestine’s innocent, but there isn’t a full world war happening.

Trump’s team wants to get actively involved. They want to go far beyond the status quo. They don’t think what is happening today is enough. They want open war with Iran and it’s satellites. They want Palestine depopulated and to rebuild vacation condos in its place.

I get it you think it’s really bad now. I agree.

But we are about to get someone actively hoping to make it worse. More, more, more.

Yeah it’s about to go region wide. Many 10s of millions more will be in active combat zones. What we have now is just a primer.

Edit As a highwater, Israel flirts with nuking Iran if they become nuclear capable.

Realistically: Less than 11.

Armchair: 3 or 4.

Trump’s people seem eager to turn this into an open regional conflict with direct US action and boots on the ground. Once that happens we are cruising towards a world war, and no one will even be thinking of Gaza any more.

Edit to be clear: I’m not minimizing what’s happening in gaza. It’s terrible. But it can get a whole lot worse.

How so? Trump is about to kick things up to 11

What will they say when kushner is building condos where Gaza was? Will that still be teaching Harris a lesson?
