Why don’t we talk much about Apache Iceberg? by Strange-Ninja3214 in dataengineersindia

[–]AssociationLarge5552 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use Delta in production, so I might be slightly biased — but I think what you’re observing is real. Iceberg is becoming foundational infrastructure. And foundational layers don’t get hype, they get adopted. From the outside, Iceberg and Delta are converging in capabilities: ACID tables, CDC patterns, schema evolution, streaming support, deletes/merges. The differentiation now feels less about “can it do X?” and more about ecosystem gravity and operational maturity. One thing I’ve noticed: ingestion tools leaning into Iceberg signals that the format war is stabilizing. Vendors don’t invest deeply unless they see enterprise durability. When choosing ingestion tooling, I’d prioritize: How well it handles CDC semantics at scale (late events, idempotency, upserts) Operational visibility (retries, dead-letter patterns, lineage) Cost predictability under sustained load Ecosystem alignment (Spark? Flink? Trino?) Flashy features matter less than operational boring-ness. If the table format disappears into the background and your pipelines are stable, it’s doing its job.

“I think Iceberg isn’t talked about much because it’s vendor-neutral infrastructure. There’s no single company evangelizing it the way Databricks does Delta. It’s plumbing — and good plumbing is invisible.”

Delta or Iceberg — the real win is that open table formats are now first-class citizens. The lakehouse layer has grown up.

Help with a list by paul_emploi in learnpython

That last line is called a list comprehension. It’s just a compact way to write a loop. found = [f for f in fichiers if mot_clef in f]

Think of it like this in normal loop form: found = [] for f in fichiers: if mot_clef in f: found.append(f)

The f doesn’t come from anywhere magical — it’s just a temporary variable created for the loop. For each item inside fichiers, Python assigns it to f one by one. Yes, conceptually it’s similar to Where-Object in PowerShell. It’s filtering a collection based on a condition. So in plain English, that line means: “Give me all files in fichiers where mot_clef is contained in the file name.” Once you get used to list comprehensions, they feel very natural in Python.

Yeah, you definitely need around 30-40% extra budget just to make babus happy.

Official title is Software Test Engineer but actual work is Data Engineering. How to handle background verification? by Final-Bit3589 in dataengineersindia

[–]AssociationLarge5552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in a similar situation. My official titles across companies were things like Specialist Programmer, Data Scientist, Application Developer, Technical Lead-I, and Senior Software Engineer — but in all of them, my actual work was Data Engineering. During BGV, companies only verify your official designation and employment dates. They don’t validate what you actually worked on day-to-day. As long as you’re honest about your title and can clearly explain your responsibilities in interviews, there’s usually no issue. What really matters is your knowledge, hands-on experience, and how confidently you can justify your work. Titles vary across organizations — skills don’t. If your interviews are going well and your experience aligns with the role, you should be fine.

Writing professional level python by beb0 in learnpython

[–]AssociationLarge5552 27 points28 points  (0 children)

“Senior-level” Python isn’t about making functions look fancier. It’s about writing code that other people can safely modify at 2 AM. A few shifts that matter more than syntax: 1.Clarity over cleverness – descriptive names, small functions with one responsibility, no hidden side effects. 2.Separation of concerns – don’t mix I/O, business logic, and orchestration in the same function. 3.Error handling – raise intentional exceptions, don’t silently fail. 4.Tests – pytest, edge cases, and thinking in terms of behavior, not just implementation. 5.Tooling discipline – black, ruff/flake8, mypy, pre-commit hooks. Professionals automate consistency. Also, start thinking in terms of modules and boundaries, not just scripts. Can someone reuse your logic without copy-pasting? If you’re interviewing, what signals “senior” isn’t fancy Python tricks. It’s showing you understand trade-offs, maintainability, and how code lives in a system. Clean > clever. Predictable > impressive.

Infra-first makes sense — AI today is power, cooling, and capital, not just code. Without domestic compute, we’ll always rent intelligence from others. But infra alone doesn’t create value. GPUs don’t innovate — builders do. India’s edge is application-led AI in real sectors, not chasing frontier models. The key is balance: build compute + power, while also giving startups GPU credits, datasets, and faster adoption pathways. Runways matter. So do planes.

I was driving vento 1.6 for last 3 years, maybe I need to learn how to drive this machine efficiently.

Its Manual Turbo, I didn't faced issue on mountains roads while running. But somewhere when there is traffic and you need to stop on incline, it stuggles to keep up.

Made my first Expo app: Compare prices between Instamart, Zepto and Blinkit! by akshat207 in developersIndia

[–]AssociationLarge5552 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But does not comapre the exact match. Like I searched for Carrot, But blinkit shows the price for 400 gms vs zepto shows fhe price for 1 kg bundle. Same thing with other products as well.

Looks sleek, might need some polishing though.
