Extract. Transform. Read.A newsletter from Pipeline: Your Data Engineering ResourceHi past, present or future data professional! I bet when you think of data engineering (or software engineering, for that matter) you don’t think about development pace. After all, the buzzworthy anecdotes and lofty promises surround performance of a build, not the speed of its architects. But adaptability and the ability to work very quickly at times is a role expectation you won’t see listed on a job opening. I’ll be very honest–I’ve had days and weeks where things are painfully slow. You almost want a pipeline to break just to say you did something during a work day. Then there are the rare days where you receive an assignment in the morning and are expected to complete it by day’s end. Being able to calm your nerves, act methodically and gather concrete requirements is the name of the game in either scenario. And don’t forget, even if you’re not the engineer handling an urgent task, do your part to be the ultimate team player to support classmates, peers and other professionals who seem overwhelmed. Reduce complexity. Remove burdens–no matter what pace you operate at (or are dictated). If I can help you by answering a question, shoot me an email: zach@pipelinetode.com. To leave you plenty of development time, here are this week’s links as plain text:
