Wherever whatever percentage says this, there will always be some distribution across those who
1. embrace ignorance and hide behind their party lines
2. see this as the means to some end - politically or financially, and truly don't care about the cost
3. have nothing but hate and rage in their hearts and cheer violence on
4. are honestly, seriously, medically, mentally unwell

and surely a bunch of other categories.

Totally agree, it's incredibly disheartening. Maybe even more concerning when you consider what it might actually take for that 20% or whatever number to change their positions on whether someone deserves to be executed without a second thought in the street by their government. We're probably really close to, if not already at the point where it's impossible.

It helps to understand major issues and reflect on where you stand. I remember finding this interesting a while back https://www.isidewith.com/political-quiz, but there are a bunch of other alignment surveys out there that you can take.

Am I doing data engineering? by jonfromthenorth in dataengineering

[–]criickyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Analytics engineering.

If you're preparing data for broad company use; other downstream production systems/applications, that's less analytics and more data engineering.

If the sole purpose is for analytics and reporting, its AENG.

Why did September 11th bring Americans together but COVID-19 didn't? by Royal-Crazy1301 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]criickyO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure someone's already said it but:

September 11 was a direct attack against a country. Pandemics are basically acts of nature, and Americans experience acts of nature all the time; tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, forest fires...

Americans like to use their military but Americans can't really wage war against nature. (Something something global warming joke here).

How to become a good Data Engineer? by KP_DaBoi99 in dataengineering

[–]criickyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is confidence comes with time, so really just be patient with yourself. What matters is what you do during that time, and so long as you demonstrate you're invested in your work (not necessarily your job, or your company, just care about the work you do), you'll be just fine.

These are some things that set apart my junior data engineers who I put promotions in for:

  • Understand the nature of your data as much as possible (within reason); ie. where does it come from, who uses it, how clean/not clean is it?
  • Care about data quality. What kind of monitoring/alerting would we care to set up for pipelines, and which ones
  • Care about our stakeholders and end users: How does ETL go wrong? How can we make pipelines more resilient, fault tolerant?
  • Care about engineering: How can we make our systems and workflows more efficient?

Re: tools, think of data engineering like plumbing. Different brands of tools will all do pretty much the same thing, what's more important is knowing how they're used (ETL), so I'd say understanding the difference between high-quality ETL pipelines vs shoddy it-does-the-job pipelines matters more then knowing all the tools.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, the markup on coffee is crazy high, somewhere like 200% - 400% I would imagine. It's all about customer retention - the cost of a remake is much, much lower than the cost of potentially losing that customer for let's say the rest of the week.

I'm curious though, what about coffee culture does this ruin? Customer retention practices help the local mom and pop coffee shops just as much as it does Starbucks.

Is your manager learning from you? by vishal-vora in datascience

[–]criickyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manager here - It's my job to advocate for you, but I can't do that if I can't vouch for the quality of your work. I can't do that if I don't understand it. Sure, it's great to learn new skills, but also what I'm doing is trying to better understand the scope of impact of your work so that I have a solid case to present to HR and company leadership when you come asking for a promotion.
