That's news from last year. Also the operator RWE has built replacement windmills somewhere else.

Those are still pending and probably won't go through. That stuff is old tech and considered state of the art. It's like you're trying to patent the wheel.

Can we stop naming things like stuff that already exists?

Not really a paradigm, but when I learnt about state machines on MCUs that influenced my overall programming a lot :)

Did you ask for a raise? Because if not, then this is completely normal. You have two options (leaving out the "just continue and feel miserable"):

- ask for a raise

- change the company

Whatever you do, make sure to have a realistic idea of what your work is worth. Ask fellow employees how much they make and check local statistics about salary in your specific field.

Isn't Canada in a shortage of skilled software engineers? Take advantage of that.

There's no such thing as polarized lenses, only polarization filters. Also, Light from bioluminescence isn't polarized.

I assume the pictures taken for Wikipedia just had very long exposure times.

TL;DR: Python alone won't land you a job!

So here is the thing: Just knowing a programming language, isn't enough of a skill to land a job! That's why you learn other things too on university, like math, data science and so on. I for example work in the robotics industry and I do exactly what you ask for. I write many short python scripts for ROS. But my ability to write python code isn't what makes me valuable. It's because I studied robotics, know how to solve complex problems using math, and then implement said solution in python. The last part being the easiest. Coding is like writing. Just because you know how to read and write, doesn't make you a bestselling author. That's just a basic requirement, and even back-end devs need some knowledge about databases, distributed systems, etc.
