Why Put Emojis In A Data Pipeline? 😎
Extract. Transform. Read.A newsletter from Pipeline: Your Data Engineering Resource​Hi past, present or future data professional! I bet when you think of data engineering tools, you don’t think of smiley faces. But emojis, when used properly (and sparingly), can be a powerful way to emphasize logging messages and highlight infrastructure failures. Failing in data engineering can make you :sad_face:. Professionally, I’ve made every code mistake imaginable, with the highlight being omitting a column and needing to process a 45 TB table—twice! Even as I gain experience, I still make (but recover from) plenty of mistakes, which I document on a yearly basis. Since we’re a little more than halfway through the year, I’d encourage you to use this framework to honestly assess both your technical and interpersonal shortcomings as an aspiring data engineer. Proactively identifying areas of improvement is growth—and areas for improvement will pay more dividends than cramming in upskilling sessions. It might even make you :smiling_face: Here are this weeks un-embedded links:
P.S. – there’s a fun announcement coming in next week’s email. Thanks for ingesting, -Zach |
