Non-negotiable skills (imho) for a data engineer, in no specific order 🧵

1⃣ SQL – It's the universal language of all OLTP and OLAP relational databases.

2⃣ Python (if you know how to work with a compiled language like Scala or Java or Rust, that's a great bonus)

India is so FUCKED UP man.
A college friend, who used to live next to me for a year,
GOT 57 Rank in GATE,
Was about to join BARC,
But lost his life yesterday because he was giving a treat to his friends in a canteen where the building fell and a concrete slab hit his head.

Real question is why did a staff engineer leave it undocumented for 3 years

[Tanuj @tanujDE3180]

a staff engineer at my old company got laid off during “cost cutting.”

his entire farewell meeting was 12 minutes long.

week later:
payment service started randomly failing.

turns out he was manually fixing edge-case data corruption every night for 3 years.

nobody even knew.

the most dangerous systems are the ones surviving because of one invisible engineer.

Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.
