How can I grow as an engineer without good seniors to learn from?
34 by prathameshgh | 31 comments on Hacker News.
I am a fresh graduate data engineer working at a small company in the oil and drilling industry. I was hired 6 months ago as a freelance data engineer, and after proving myself through my work quality, I am now essentially functioning as a tech lead, with full responsibility and ownership of designing, implementing, and hiring for the projects I'm assigned. Our company is not a tech company, so I only have a couple of tech-oriented colleagues, and I barely interact with them. Now I directly report to the director of the company, who in all senses is awesome, with 40+ years of combined experience in some of the biggest oil and drilling companies globally. However, I have some strong FOMO about not being able to learn much technical stuff from my peers or seniors. I am trying my best to learn and pick things up on my own, learning design principles, getting code reviews from chatGPT, etc. But even then, I'm afraid I am not producing the software to the highest standards of the industry since we don't have any rigorous cross-checking, and might be missing out on a lot of learning. Can someone who has been in positions similar to these please guide me?

New ask Hacker News story: Is someone trying to steal credit for inventing the eTicket?

Is someone trying to steal credit for inventing the eTicket? 2 by rexarex | 0 comments on Hacker News. The eTicket is what we use for flights today instead of physical, paper tickets printed on special paper. My understanding of the lore is that it was invented by Southwest Airlines or a company they acquired. That's what I heard on a How I Built This podcast episode with the founder of JetBlue. It's also mentioned in this research paper here https://ift.tt/RB63DSb Strangely, when I was googling I found what I suspect to be planted misinformation in a Bangkok Post article where someone named Joel Goheen claims to have invented the eTicket on JRG Airlines (https://ift.tt/bTyawJM). JRG Airlines does not exist, and appear to be just the initials of Joel R Goheen. However, he appears on a U.S. Patent for eTicketing for 1994 the same time they started using eTickets. (https://ift.tt/tzSTHf2) I think it's really strange. I did some googling of his name and eTicket and there ap...
