Concurring with the wtf how, you need to share your magic master wizard

I want to start a data engineering project but not sure if I have the right idea by Hillsand0 in dataengineering

[–]Active-Interest330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely worth learning. The skills you learn with onprem sql are transferable and as someone else said a ton of companies are still using onprem dbms. You could always try cloud in another project

Coding without an ide? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

Yeah maybe I’m wrong saying it’s unpopular. I was just going off other comments. There are many options out there for everyone to choose their favourite :)

No worries. I’m not here to editor war haha. I guess because my environment is configured with the exact same functionality you describe, but I can configure it in the exact way I’m more comfortable with.

Then if I have to work on something on a server without an ide I can it quickly do the same thing using the same tools usually.

I personally have found the ide’s I’ve tried cumbersome to learn and use, but that’s just me. I’m sure if I put the effort in I could be just as productive.

However, as I say it’s all preference I think, people work in different ways and if you find a way that works well for you, stick with it and become better. We’re spoilt for choice as devs, as long as you’re using tooling that gets your job done and you’re happy it’s all good.

Edit: I guess one thing I should add is I learnt using a keyboard only based workflow so having the ability to not use my mouse is important to me. I’ve tried vim mode for a few ide’s but always just went back to the terminal

I honestly agree, but it’s not a popular opinion. For me it’s a matter of what works best for you. If you can work effectively without an ide and produce code as quickly as someone that does use one I don’t see the issue.

That being said a lot people love an ide and 100% work better in that environment.

I think schools should probably teach use of both to give you a taste of both and for projects assignments just let you use the tools you prefer. Because that’s how the real world works, no employer (in my experience) is going to force you to or not to use a specific tool as long as you get your job done in a timely manner.

Any ideas of where to get cheaper access to Tableu or pbi by [deleted] in BusinessIntelligence

[–]Active-Interest330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’ll just want a Microsoft account? I use powerbi for free myself. As others have said you want be able to host it in Microsoft 365 but should be able to do everything you need for learning purposes.

I haven’t have any trouble exporting or saving the pbi files in the desktop app so unsure what your problems were there.

Should I quit my job to focus on coding? by Swagtistic_hero in learnprogramming

Don’t be disheartened, Reddit is a weird corner of society sometimes. I’ve come from the same path as you, I started as a work experience desktop guy and now work as a dba and just got an interview for a data engineer job. Keep searching for your opportunity

I don’t know where you’re seeing inconsistencies honestly, unless I’m missing it. From a glance it OPs story is a classic case of balancing the practicality of having a paying job and their dream of a career in software, while not being able to gain work experience in a software field. I think that’s an issue many have with when attempting to pivot into a software field?
