I know the author and I can tell you that the story is completely real.

You won't be able to change much, in my opinion. So you have to choose whether you stay and do it their way, or go. There's a lot to be said about your situation, but I've found th…

We implemented all that manually, more or less in swift (and sqlite), then react+redux, and on the back end - postgres and python+flask. Works flawlessly so far. We do have the sam…

The idea behind Mura Notes is basically to have lightweight disposable notes, which you don't have to provide any personal info to use and share. Each note has two URLs, with one a…

So it seems like we'll have to change what we do from writing code to reading code and fixing it..

Every time someone (usually someone from HR) tries to point out how great a company is because of its great perks like awesome couching sessions (not actual training), great team-b…

Just to clarify.. Yes, vertipaq is the tech behind power pivot, power bi and sql server analysis services (in tabular mode) and the same column-oriented storage is also used in sql…

"Pull out the names of only the columns you need instead of using SELECT * to speed things up further." This is not performance-related in most cases. Unless the bottleneck is in t…

I've worked in BI (end-to-end - data modelling, reporting, ETL, etc.) for more than 10 years now across various organisations and since "data science" became all the rage, I had th…

"As it stands today I’ve personally used EKS, and AWS in general a lot. I’ve used GKE a bit but only with my own personal credits doing Kubernetes The Hard Way and spinning up a ve…

Yeah, it's relatively dry material which is hard to grasp without the context of why we need it and how it can be applied in the real world. While the intro is good, it still has t…
