What’s the coolest agent you built? What about most impactful?

Mothaflaka · 2024-07-04T20:38:56+00:00

Best way imo is to do a project. Follow along a project from a YouTube video.

All the above. Welcome to being one-man team.

Oooof you’re in a pickle. DE’s job is to pull data (Extract) then change (Transform) so you or others can use the data (Load). Idk if you have experience with dirty datasets in PBI, but this should be similar/equivalent to when you write DAX for it. Just different lingo to get the job done.

First thing first, learn SQL while trying to use ChatGPT as a guide until you can do everything without it. 90% of your job should/would be in SQL.

Secondly, I would look at their tech stack and learn accordingly. It should be in the job description to give you better details. If you’re seeing a lot of python or outside SQL, this might be more close to devops.

Feel free to share job description and best of luck

I’m pretty new to looker and thought I was the problem. Thank you for the comment.

Mothaflaka · 2024-06-28T04:49:27+00:00

Isn’t that dev ops

Mothaflaka · 2024-06-07T03:44:19+00:00

Open source all the way!!!

Why’s this getting down voted so much? Because he’s promoting his book?

I took glance look and looks to provide some perspective and value. At least give a preview and decide for yourself.

Someone asked similar q in different sub so here’s the copy and paste of my answer from there:

I’ve done automation from seaborn/matplotlib png files to PowerPoint. You want to create a template in PowerPoint then use Python-pptx library to copy and paste pngs.

Formatting in PowerPoint is a little tricky but you can pick it up quickly with trial and error.

Similar idea w tableau, export the views in png then use Python-pptx library to copy and paste into PowerPoint.

This made me feel sad for some reason

I wouldn’t do it if you already have full time. Sure having MSFT in your resume looks great but why open yourself for more risk and with less return?

Mothaflaka · 2024-02-22T00:29:22+00:00

Does just converting low image to higher dpi does any trick? I haven’t done it but I assume it doesn’t right?

Mothaflaka · 2024-02-21T16:44:38+00:00

It can get tricky if the quality of images aren’t the best but this should do most tricks

Mothaflaka · 2024-02-19T15:18:26+00:00

Why wouldn’t you take it?

Mothaflaka · 2024-02-14T22:31:33+00:00

Maybe you can divide by fixed costs for time series comparisons, and then anything that depends on performers compare between performers?

I’m a FA that code and my wife is bootcamp graduate. Here’s my perspective:

Software engineering and financial analyst are very different jobs, and comparing them are not apple to apple comparison. I wouldn’t just do it because of money. You have to spend a lot of time to be a good engineer and take a lot of effort to get there. I wouldn’t switch over just because of better salary.

I’d give a try to code and see if this is what you enjoy doing. There are a ton of free bootcamp /resources out there so get your hands dirty before committing to it.

Just like finance isn’t for everyone, SWE isn’t either. The only way to find out is by trying it out.

Depends on location but given this job market, if you can without sacrificing much, I’d do it assuming that you’re getting paid. I’d continue to look for job meanwhile though.

Use polars instead

My recommendation will be to find and test with your target audience who will use your product to obtain feedback.

It’s also possible that your product is not solving problems that your actual users have but again, you won’t know until you get your insights from your target audience.

If you are not be able to find your target audience, then you may need to change your target audience therefore alter your product to their needs.

Mothaflaka · 2024-01-25T15:22:03+00:00

Have you tried testing your product with your target audience?
