The tough thing with creative endeavors is that you really just need the motivation to start and continue making anything, it can be inexpensive stuff. The important thing is output and making it a regular thing.

That being said, gearing up for a new hobby is always fun if you can afford it. But you can absolutely make short films on an iPhone.

Woww I had a CD-ROM of Lemmings and I always felt so sad for the lil guys. Thank you for sharing that link!

As a lifelong peanut butter cup fanatic, this initially filled me with rage. Can't stop thinking about though...

I'd rather increase my monthly donation to support lemm.ee on GitHub than see ads here

Same - I regularly use vim on servers when I have to, but I can only remember some super basic commands. Most of my coding is done in a basic text editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++ or an IDE.

I do get the appeal of becoming fluent in Vim or emacs and theoretically attaining giant productivity gains. Although for me at least, text editing is not where all my time is wasted. I lose my productivity the old fashioned way: attending unnecessary meetings and wasting time solving the wrong problems.

I get questions like this a lot:

  • Where did this data come from?
  • How do I know I can trust the source?
  • What types of QA checks were applied to this data?

Data lineage is such a chronic issue in data engineering. This blog post from Airbyte gives a good overview & mentions some interesting products/projects that can maybe help out with data lineage.

Unfortunately, I have limited flexibility to purchase or install tools for this in my current role. Anyone rolled their own solution for this?

Often the most challenging part of data engineering is figuring out what problem to solve in the first place.

The resources Stanford put in this Design Thinking Bootleg might have something that can help you work with others and build towards a well-designed solution.

For Python developers, the NumPy array is a widely used data structure in data science / data engineering.

Thought this paper was a good resource to learn a bit more about the history and core concepts of NumPy.

Curious if other Spotify users are using the DJ feature. Can't decide if I like it or not yet.

I found this content super helpful and I frequently share this with new coworkers getting started in data / dev.
