Beyond the Edit: Project Managing Skills for Publishing Professionals Webinar

Editing today extends far beyond language and style. Editors are often responsible for coordinating people, timelines, files, and feedback—whether or not they carry a formal project management title.

@Craigp Set up for the twist but then don't do it. Is that then a twist?

@AlSweigart Not what you're talking about, but I thought this was pretty nice: https://hello.processing.org/

I've been away from programming for a while, so I decided to try getting back into it with https://automatetheboringstuff.com/
Just finishing Chapter 10, and I had a lot of fun with the random quiz project and the Mad Libs project. Thanks, @AlSweigart

@gemini6ice At least there are a lot fewer of them in Russian than English!

@chrisamaphone Yeah, my first though was you were north of all of Canada, and I came up with Pituffik Space Base, but I considered that unlikely (and also didn't fit with lake effect snow).

🎃 Season's greetings, friends. I'm seeking full-time or part-time work in software engineering or technical writing.

I have decades of experience in both documentation and engineering. I've also co-founded two nonprofits, co-authored two books, and launched a bunch of other stuff: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonmcintosh/

I'd prefer to work with stable, established organizations, rather than tech startups, but I’d be happy to discuss any interesting opportunity.

I'm based in NYC, and remote-friendly. DMs open!
