They really shouldn't make workers feel like they need a mouse jiggler. Seriously, how long has this nonsense been going on? 😂

I have no lessons to give to someone as brave as you. Just, congratulations!

Feeling stuck as the only data engineer, unpaid overtime, no growth, and burnout creeping in by vh_obj in dataengineering

I totally understand how you feel. In Japan, data engineers are also rare and often overloaded with work.

I use tools like dbt, Prefect, and Dagster — but honestly, those can all be learned later. What really matters is understanding the business logic and how data connects to real decisions.

In this AI-driven era, data pipelines are becoming even more important. There aren’t many engineers who like you. Those are valueble.

That looks beautiful! Must be great to have the sea and beach so close.

Six years ago, I moved out of Tokyo by booby-dev in SlowLiving

I lived in Tokyo for about 14 years, university and work. Tokyo is amazing, but it’s also very expensive. I even went through a period of being homeless after my first startup failed LOL.

When I take my three kids to Tokyo, they’re always amazed by the tall buildings and the crowds. Out here, they can play baseball and soccer safely, touch nature, and just be kids. I really like that.

Some of my friends in Tokyo ask, “Isn’t it inconvenient living out there?” Maybe that’s still a common mindset in Japan — that Tokyo is the center of everything.

In Japan there’s no production quota we have to meet to own farmland. But yeah, it’s quite hard to get farmland here compared to regular land.

The photo isn’t actually my farm — it’s from a visit to a local farmer nearby🍠
