If you want to get up to speed fast on data engineering (with the most important patterns and concepts), read these: 1) Summer Data Engineering Roadmap: where to start and in what order www.ssp.sh/blog/data-e...

Orca looks super cool! It's got a bunch of IDE like features, but is primarily about managing agent sessions. You can even match between diff harnesses (claude code, codex, etc), "if it runs in a terminal, it runs in Orca." github.com/stablyai/orca

My take: AI can enhance expertise but cannot replace it. You have to know what good looks like.

never got this far with Anki.

Just learned about @marimo.io . It's truly amazing. This is the way.

Almost there—if you like @obsidian.md, neovim, terminal, writing, or data engineering, please follow. I will not upload often, but when I have something interesting to share. Check out the latest: about my 20 years of note-taking, how I write, and my Mac and Linux workflow. -> yt.ssp.sh 🙌

It's going to be so much work

It's been a good day

I, too, sometimes forget, how I started. Typing CSVs by hand www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDr6...

According to Grok, I'm such a @duckdb.org fan that I'm designing their mascot.

This ~one-liner @raycast.com command saves more mental bandwidth, than most productivity tool.

Attention is the only zero-sum game worth playing.

If posting daily was my resolution, this meta post would count.

I'm on this pucture and I don't like it

but they dictate your password over Teams call if you ask nicely.

Trying to pass an Arrow table from @duckdb.org to a legacy Go service built as a shared lib, in Python. *legacy means I don't want to rewrite the Go service

Choosing Apache Spark in 2024 for tabular data processing. Is there any another good option?

Important announcement:

I got promoted because of @duckdb.org ; I take no credit. Best piece of tech in recent years.

I got fed up with X when I couldn't export my bookmarks using the API for free. (on @bsky.app there are no bookmarks, so I have no problem)

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

registered my domain. so @dfel.es can mention me easier.

not having any followers feels libarating. not like my 70 followers on twitter is a big constrant
