Mentoring children is a whole new challenge, and one that served to help me think about my own communication and empathy skills at work too.

Watermarking photos? “I can do that in Python!”
By Anthony Lister on 24 June 2019
My wife is setting up a business from home and wanted to protect photos of her work submitted to social media sites and the web in general. “I can do that using Python!”, I exclaimed, thinking I had seen a tutorial showing how ages ago. Laptop open, I set to work and found my bookmarked tutorial. It was using OpenCV2 and even after ~70 odd days of my #100DaysOfCode journey, I didn’t really understand it well enough to configure it myself if I had to make changes. (OpenCV is on my list of things to do after my #100Days). I remembered reading about Pillow, or PIL as it is sometimes known, and started to read the docs for it. Challenge to myself accepted!
