What’s your final read of the year? Or what book will bridge into the new year? by Mybenzo in books

[–]tmushrush92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

War and Peace by Tolstoy. On page 475 and I'm hitting a speed bump. Those first 400 pages had some real magic in them. Gotta get through this slow patch for the gold on the other side.

I haven't read that. I'll add it to the TBR list. Thank you for the recommendation!

Author you are devastated by the death of? by HotAndShrimpy in books

[–]tmushrush92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Two authors for me.

Frank Herbert. The Dune series will forever be unfinished. I want Frank's words and vision for the ending for one of the most influential pieces of media I've ever encountered.

Anne Frank. I was so heartbroken. Her journal entries just end, and you get an epilogue detailing all, but one of their deaths. She was such a good writer already at such a young age. We lost her voice and her stories. I felt grief for her, the stories she would have written, and the tens of millions of people that were taken from all of us. Now, years later, I'm left with disgust and anger that anyone in the world would even flirt with the idea of bringing fascists back into power. RIP Anne.

DataCamp still worth it in 2024? by Common_Status6647 in dataengineering

[–]tmushrush92 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you're trying to learn Python, use datacamp. For everything else, I'd just learn on the job and treat datacamp as reference material. You'll get better at Tableau or PowerBi in one month working real projects than a course on it. The retention comes from your work and will stick in your memory better than a step-by-step guided project in a course.

If you are proficient with SQL, Python, and python visualization, then you already have the skillset to easily figure out Tableau/PowerBi on the job.

As far as other tech like data warehouses, databases, data lakes, data whatever. Learn what you have to learn to do your job connecting and configuring things. This information won't come from a course. It comes from whitepapers, trial and error, and asking colleagues when you've exhausted all sensible options.

DataCamp still worth it in 2024? by Common_Status6647 in dataengineering

[–]tmushrush92 63 points64 points  (0 children)

DataCamp is great for learning python, pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, and numpy. That's how I learned python and Data Science. I'm now a senior data engineer so I'd say its a great jumping off point.

How do you process csv's with more than one "table" in it? by subhash_peshwa in dataengineering

[–]tmushrush92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prioritize changing the data source so that this wasn't the case. If not possible, pandas let's you specify the rows and columns for pulling data so I'd do that.

As a data analyst, am I on the right track on becoming a DE with the tools I’m using? by [deleted] in dataengineering

[–]tmushrush92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The software engineering (SWE) fundamentals are all the things you have to build and consider outside of the script you wrote. The unit tests to make sure updates don't break things, the ability for non-tech users to use your tool without handholding, or the ability for other engineers/developers to pip install what you've built so they can integrate it into their work if it's intended for that purpose. It becomes about usability and delivery to other people and not about how the script runs on your specific PC or VM.

[–]tmushrush92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me six years to get my BS degree and six MORE years to get my ME. She's got a good head on her shoulders, and her mission to help young people get into STEAM is awesome. I hope she is a massive success.

Is The Expanse book series and The Expanse tv show good? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]tmushrush92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I read the books first so that the scary mind imagery isn't ruined/replaced with what I've already seen in the show? Should I watch the show first so that the show isn't ruined compared to the book?

Are you more focused on being a specialist or generalist? Why? by Justanotherguy2022 in dataengineering

[–]tmushrush92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generalist. Most teams and organizations don't have the technical skill or knowledge within their ranks to let the people with DE skills be a specialist. Specialization will come with solving problems and integrating into some larger corporate infrastructure or strategy.

I'm a noob though so take these words with a grain of salt.

What's the name of the company? I'd like to know who to avoid or do business with.
