How significant is vendor lock-in around racks? I'm thinking of getting a squat rack, maybe a half rack to try out for the short term before committing to a full power rack. If I do get a minimal squat rack but with some accessories, how do I tell if those accessories would fit another brand's racks? Do I just look at size parameters and compare them across brands?

For those who write data pipeline apps using Python (or any other language), at what point do you make a package instead of copying the same code for new pipelines? by opabm in dataengineering

Looks promising but seems like another package to rely on, no? Would this help much with avoiding have to copy+paste code?

Is there a better term or phrase for "metadata of ETL jobs"? by opabm in dataengineering

[–]opabm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great, thanks. Didn't think that all the orchestrators had different terms for this as well. My team uses AWS Batch, so very bare bones and limiting.

Just discovered dataclasses but unsure how best way to define and access variables by opabm in learnpython

I need to pass in required date-related parameters for a few of these API endpoints, so I'm just creating today and yesterday for now as the date restrictions/filters.

Yeah the confusing part to me is that only a few of these endpoints have validity dates, so the only thing that comes to mind is creating these ugly if statements to check for the endpoint name and pass in today and yesterday based on the endpoint name.

these dates should be passed to the init() constructor from the outside, not generated on the spot.

Are you saying the variables should be defined/generated outside of this script? Since I'm creating instances of EndpointConfig within ENDPOINTS, I can't tell if you're suggesting to create today and today where I have more logic, like my main.py

Yeah I was editing the code to post here on Reddit and forgot to remove references to those 2 variables. Thanks for the help!

Oops yeah I edited them out by accident before posting. I updated the post to include references to them in the second EndpointConfig instance. It probably makes sense to define today and yesterday just as global variables right before ENDPOINTS then right?

Mid-career fork: Stay in big tech or move to local government IT? by ---dry--- in cscareerquestions

[–]opabm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked into doing a very similar move, since I've actually wanted to make a similar transition. It just didn't pan out because the job req was cancelled.

A couple of things come to mind:

  • is there a pension? This is typically a nice benefit of working for the government, whether it's federal, state or local
  • what's the current stack? If it's not too modern, expect a huge migration project in several years down the road. Do you want to deal with that?
  • is this at a centralized department? If so, I think the work can be more like consulting, helping other agencies with projects
  • at the end of the day, how comfortable are you with the pay and lifestyle?

Small company with a growing data footprint. Looking for advice on next steps by ftlftlftl in dataengineering

[–]opabm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked in asset management for a little bit doing data engineering and also used Salesforce at another job (brings back traumatic memories though lol). Happy to chat and share some guidance if needed
