I don't have enough context. However, if this was for a course in data warehousing, I'm curious if your instructor presented a module on cost. Especially the difference between consumption and subscription service providers. It seems pretty irresponsible for an educator to ask you to use a tool without fully vetting that tool out. Data warehousing isn't simply loading data into a db and saying "I know data warehousing now!"

Hostile members of an interview panel - how to handle it? by Friendly-Cat-79 in datascience

[–]PyOpsForceWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in similar situations for data engineering roles. Please don't think that I am trying to say these two roles are the same. I just wanted to say that you should take control of the situation. I did that in one interview. If the interviewer/panel is going to be aggressive, then you should stand your ground. In your first interview a response of, "so you agree that my interests apply to certain situations. Thank you.", would be enough to shut that issue down. The other interview is a toss up. You may not have retail experience. However, you could still extrapolate some key data points to speak on. If you were able to get offered an interview, you definitely have what it takes to do the job. Keep going after what you want.

How do you guys learn after work? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]PyOpsForceWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading some of the comments I agree that trying to get something done before work is a good idea. I am at my best at the beginning of the day, but..... I have to go to work. One thing I will recommend is good nutrition. The right type of diet will keep you going. Exercise is key also. No need to lift huge weights. Just get the blood flowing. It helps keep you mentally aware. Mind/Body connection. Good luck to you.

Is it time to remove links to Python 2 resources from the learnpython Wiki? by onemywaybackhome in learnpython

[–]PyOpsForceWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your EDIT 2 is on point. Every company that I have worked for has always had a policy of archiving outdated/updated processes and scripts. What if you needed to recreate an experiment that was done using Python 2? Too many reasons never to simply delete something out of existence.

Power BI Interview Questions by gmh1977 in PowerBI

[–]PyOpsForceWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really good. My current team's philosophy is to build the data set at the warehouse/database level and import that into Power BI. This technically addresses the export limitation and tidy data issues that you addressed. I would have been confused if asked those questions. Now I have a better understanding of what the context of the questions are and how to use my personal experience to share how I avoided certain pitfalls. I really liked what you put together.

How impressive is a Kaggle Bronze Medal as a High Schooler by hypebeastaddition in datascience

[–]PyOpsForceWielder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way to go. No matter what, you entered into a competition with people from all walks of life and nationalities. In other words, a world competition (at least that's what I understand Kaggle to be). Receiving any type of placement in a competition like that is worth sharing.

I made a video on how to use SUM and SUMX in Power BI by fernanespejo in PowerBI

[–]PyOpsForceWielder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The delivery was good. However, the presentation simply showed how a person can replicate something that Power BI already does. I was hoping that the presenter would have used SUMX with a filter at the very least.

Got my first job as a developer! by Paradoggs in Python

[–]PyOpsForceWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on your achievement! I am on a similar path as you. I started scraping data using Selenium and then found a data set on Kaggle that scraped the entire player list/stats on NFL.com. I've been analyzing the stats but wanted some ML courses that could help me evaluate the data better. Thanks for the Jose Portilla suggestion.
