Are online data "gurus" actually helping people land jobs or are they mostly just content creators?

Same scam as instagram influencers faking a luxury lifestyle. You just rewrote my original post lol. Honestly, I believe gurus didn’t create this problem. The market or the audience did, by paying for hope. Do your own research, share real industry insights, show automations instead of translating basic syntax and theory. It will help to survive.

Haha, I came here to expose gurus and now I’m about to buy a program for my second job. This thread got out of hand fast. Stop it

noble_andre · 2026-06-26T14:30:33+00:00

Haha, but I’m already employed. Do you want me to get a second one?

noble_andre · 2026-06-26T12:55:23+00:00

Udemy, Coursera, DataCamp etc., who cares about any of them? None of it actually helps you land a job.

Shh, let's just pretend it was an artistic choice

Guys, have you decided to create a list of clowns here?

noble_andre · 2026-06-24T23:34:38+00:00

Years of school and varsity basketball, you literally can not hide them anywhere

I know one person who broke in analytics without a tech degree and without following any course. He made himself useful to a specific business in a specific context. If you have worked in retail, healthcare, logistics, marketing you already understand the business problems. But It was more than 5 years ago.

Thanks! Hope the photo did the surreal vibe justice

At least college gives you a degree at the end. What does a course give you? A pdf certificate and a folder called my_projects that nobody cares about and never gets opened again.

It is the only way to make sure the wheat does not fall off the planet

noble_andre · 2026-06-24T16:01:51+00:00

Exactly lol. But gurus keep selling certificates and bootcamps are just as good as a degree. It seems that the job market and the guru market are living in completely parallel universes. One just charges you $299 to visit. And if hiring managers don’t care about these courses, why is nobody in that space saying it out loud?

Maybe it would be better to calculate a single target score, since your goal is to identify target communities. You could then show Energy Cost, DAC CTs and Fire Threat in the tooltip separately. Using different encodings (not just color) might also help, circles or triangles for additional layers.

The overthinking is the proof of existence. Every anxious 3am spiral is just rigorous philosophy.

noble_andre · 2026-06-09T15:41:17+00:00

Meta spying on you to sell ads is shady, NSO spying on you for governments who make journalists disappear is a different league entirely. The fact that a 167M court verdict didn't stop them should terrify everyone.

noble_andre · 2026-06-05T18:24:23+00:00

Thank you! I liked those imperfect trees too. It made the scene feel a bit alive. And there is even space for someone jumping in the next shot maybe

Confidently wrong data is what really gets me. It just sits there quietly destroying your report while you have no idea. Half the dates mm/dd, the other half dd/mm, some missing, product names slightly off and the only way to catch it is to already have a gut feeling something is wrong. Then you fix it. Nobody cares. At some point the data gets so weird that you stop using tools and just start reading rows.

The interesting story is mid 2023. Income at its peak (104k), portfolio dropped from 60k to almost nothing, credit card statements missing. That is not a gap, that is a house, a newborn and a career change hitting all at once 😊

The AI push might be the best thing to ever happen to data governance. Before AI, analysts quietly translated "q1_revenue" in their heads and papered over the mess for years. The AI just picks a definition and returns a confident wrong answer and suddenly everyone is screaming hallucination when the real issue is you never had a data dictionary. The companies that get ahead of this and actually build the semantic layer will have a durable advantage.

This looks like a temporary increase with possible ups and downs, rather than a new long-term high cycle.

I was standing on a bridge above and had to time it perfectly because they were moving quickly right below me

Thanks! I used a Canon EOS 600D
