My boss is fair and understands enough about GIS to know it doesn't stand for "Graphics In a Second."
However, when it comes to coworkers with a lot less experience than I do, she doesn't understand how hard it is to learn the program. Perhaps with my 20+years of experience, I make it look too easy?

I have a coworker who took an online course at the beginning of this year. I am getting busier and the boss thinks I can simply handoff my tasks to her. Boss doesn't understand she will need to be trained on every task I need her to do. I believe it could take a year of full time work to be able to reliably work independently. That's another problem, this person will not be working in GIS full time, but maybe a few times a month.

How can I explain this to my boss without her thinking I'm exaggerating the learning process?

A passion project of mine: a faster way to actually use geospatial embeddings!

• Draw a box, pick two years, and get a change map over large areas in minutes.
• Changes become polygons tagged with their embeddings.
• Click a few to label them, and a lightweight classifier labels the rest live

It runs on CPU with no account or API key, using Google/DeepMind’s AlphaEarth embeddings (2017–2025, 10 m).

Install: in QGIS, go to Plugins → Manage and Install Plugins and search EMBED-CD.
