This looks really similar to rabbit's Large Action Model (LAM). Cool!

Not a script but if you're reading on phone with the Harmonic app, there's a "View on archive.org" button for every post. It works pretty well for me.

thecolorgreenon We don't need data scientists, we need data engineers

I have the same question and I believe the answer is in the same vein as someone who asks about software engineering. Books/courses are great for the concepts, but your goal should be to build something ASAP since that's where actual learning will come from.

thecolorgreenon We don't need data scientists, we need data engineers

That's good news for me. For a minute, I genuinely thought I'd have to waste time going through a bunch of stuff I already knew to learn a tiny bit and earn a certificate to prove my skills.

thecolorgreenon We don't need data scientists, we need data engineers

I'm a SWE and data engineering actually sounds super interesting to me. Unfortunately, my day-to-day doesn't provide opportunities to work with the massive amounts of data we generate. I've looked into learning this stuff online but courses like DataCamp seem too basic (I have experience with Python and data cleaning in a research setting along with some academic ML experience) or downright a bit scammy. Many of the articles I read online about this also frame data engineering as a way to transition into the tech industry, which isn't my blocker. Does anyone have advice to help me transition away from pure software to a job as a data engineer?
