I’m not sure if others have this same problem, maybe they are lucky, they get to build in their favorite language 24/7, it’s their tool of choice. I feel like I have a great burden to bear, a heavy one. I love to write Rust … but I deploy Python. Even when I know I could write Rust … Python gets deployed.
I’m trying something new. I get a lot of questions from folks about getting into the Data Engineering space, how to get better, grow, learn, etc.
So I came up with a solution. SQL Practice Problems.
There is a great evil Spirit that is haunting the streets of code in the land of programmers. It’s a Spirit of obfuscation and twisting things into what they are not. The Spirit wanders around on the loose looking for someone, and it finds ready victims among the ranks of new programmers and the innocent young minds in University. It also finds a few old wizened souls that have been lost wandering for decades around the halls of some musty Fortune 500 company.
It’s the Abstraction Problem.
