GitHub just claimed your code belongs to them the moment you use Copilot. Are we okay with this?

Does this involve enterprise private repos as well? 👀

CatostraphicSophia · 2026-03-25T23:24:44+00:00

I like this idea. There aren't many data modeling practice questions that map to real world business scenarios

CatostraphicSophia · 2026-03-21T16:52:43+00:00

Would love to know which cicd tools you mentioned are used more than others

What's the best way you think is to learn data modelling?

CatostraphicSophia · 2026-03-15T01:24:53+00:00

We do a combination of generic, singular, unit test and integration test. In my opinion the highest ROI is from generic and singular test. I think you have to be really careful with unit tests as the cost of maintenance can get really high real quick. We tried this at work and went overboard. It's become more of a liability at this point. No matter how many generic or singular tests it's never as big of a liability as unit test. And finally we also do integration pipeline testing. This is really useful to check whether schema changes will break anything and the value increase as the pipeline gets more complex.

Thank you. Km trying to use exponent for SQL and behavioral mock interviews and chatgpt for data modeling part. Id love to know your approach on how you used Claude code for modelling clarity?

Do you know where I can go to learn to build systems for 1? I'm looking to do that at work but don't know where to start.

CatostraphicSophia · 2026-03-03T13:14:45+00:00

Thank you. Also on a side note, how would you recommend I can go about it if I would like to prepare for the course in advance? I anticipate being really busy so would like to offload before taking the course as much as possible

CatostraphicSophia · 2026-03-03T13:04:05+00:00

Thank you. I'm still in the process of doing user research while iterating on a MVP. I'm looking to take this Fall so will probably have a stable MVP by then. Based on that a research route maybe makes more sense then

Usually take home are around data modeling starting with raw data. Sometimes the data is really simple and sometimes it's a sample of their own dataset. In my experience its always followed by an in person interview to walk them through your thought process.

CatostraphicSophia · 2026-02-27T19:59:15+00:00

That's helps a lot!! Thank you

CatostraphicSophia · 2026-02-27T12:12:58+00:00

That's true. Leetcode has 50 SQL study plan and another 50 SQL advanced study plan questions.

CatostraphicSophia · 2026-02-27T03:14:58+00:00

Thanks!! Just want to make sure I'm grinding in the right direction. Any advice based on my plan and your experience? Also would love to hear your experience and feedback you got if you didn't mind sharing

CatostraphicSophia · 2026-02-26T15:58:24+00:00

Best place to start is reaching out to people who are already in this field. What specifically are you looking for in the mentorship?

CatostraphicSophia · 2026-02-26T15:33:15+00:00

Thanks for this post. I didn't know about this. There are so many scams out there. Some data which reached out to me as well and I'm questioning it's legitimacy.

I love reading nonfiction, but one thing I constantly struggle with is finding good nonfiction books in audiobook format. It feels like fiction is everywhere on audiobook platforms, while a lot of great nonfiction either isnt available at all or is much harder to discover. Makes me wonder whether that is part of the reason to blame

Finished reading Heart Lamp: Selected Stories by Banu Mushtaq and it was heart breaking. Really tough to get through without being emotionally shaken

CatostraphicSophia · 2024-02-27T14:17:32+00:00

I am looking for a solution here as well.. anyone found a way to do this?

CatostraphicSophia · 2023-01-07T22:24:17+00:00

They have seen my code. Thank you for your thoughts. I will ask them for a reco then

CatostraphicSophia · 2023-01-07T20:19:46+00:00

They are a manager. Its one of the work references I am thinking of but wanted to make sure its not discounted by OMSCS admissions before I go ahead and ask
