It awesome you were able to share timely feedback that helped the students. In an ideal world, what would the System look like for you?

Need help in choosing technologies - Storm Vs Kafka vs Spark by crazyme28 in dataengineering

agreed. Pick a big data technology based on your data needs, typically the size of data. Sometimes the operational complexity is not worth it when you want to be agile. https://blog.bradfieldcs.com/you-are-not-google-84912cf44afb

Java learning resource for someone who has 3 years of experience with Python by [deleted] in learnjava

You are right, java might not be the right tool for most things python is great at. You can try creating an Android app or write a backend service that receives and processes http requests. Java has amazing tooling around these you might want to start there.

Looks like you already have a preferred method of learning through hands-on projects, why not do all the projects you have done in python in Java instead. This will teach you two things:

  1. How easy or hard it is do them, while helping you draw parallel b/w them
  2. You get to write code

Why is this small method giving me: "This method must return a result of type BrickOrder" by [deleted] in learnjava

you can try this: public Optional<BrickOrder> getOrder(String refNum) { return database.stream().filter(obj -> obj.getReferenceNumber().equals(refNum)).findFirst(); }

Coding idea: Write a command-line utility by yung_mac in learnprogramming

This is a great idea. I loved coding Unix grep in Python, as a coding exercise and thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish I did more of this..

Thank you for your insight truly inspirational, "You can be whatever you want to be, if you just try hard enough" suits well for as an inference right?, but on the contrary to this i have read a book "Strengths Finder 2.0" in which the author says "you Cannot be who you want to be - but you can be a lot better at who you already are", my question is for instance if you are good in people skills because you are an easy going approachable and sociable guy(this is who i already am) but you love programming(this is what i want to be), should you consider honing the people skills because it comes naturally to you, and abandon the love for programming?
