The cost of a 5 year skilled worker visa is about £11,500. Oh, and we pay taxes too.

Claude Haiku seems as good as ChatGPT 4o for brainstorming and writing. Haven't compared code generation capabilities yet. #databs

Data Engineers - how are you using LLMs in your workflows? #databs

I am on the Claude free tier, and I can only use Haiku since the past week. Is this how they are convincing people to upgrade?😂 #databs

This roast is a clear indication that I talk about Excel way too much. Delightful website though! blueskyroast.com/roast/chinar...

What are your thoughts on technical certifications? e.g AWS/GCP, Databricks, etc certifications

Thanks Kshitij! I've been to this one and DET London before, and was wondering if there's anything else too :) If you are coming to the next DE London meetup, it would be great to meet

If data platform devs count, please add me!

Any London Data Engineering meetups coming up early next year? #databs 📊

I love how I can directly use CSVs and Pandas dataframes together without the hassle of converting both to a single format. Also, it works really fast for most use cases.

Wait, that wasn't a troll post?

This is a great way to look at it :)

This is me when I see another Business Development Representative sending me a connection request. I have nothing against BDRs, but if the first message I get is a sales pitch, that's not cool😅

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 23/11/2024

That's the first data "analyst" in the team. I was hired as a data analyst, but I've been doing that + the data engineering stuff.

On a side note, is there a feed for #Python devs?

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 22/11/2024

This is so nice! Sent you a DM :)

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 19/11/2024

It is nice indeed! Few rough corners, but I'm sure the team will take care of it

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 18/11/2024

That's not a problem at all! I just hope I understood you correctly because Google Translate doesn't understand the nuances of a language at times :) And more importantly, I don't want people to think I am an Excel fan😂

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 18/11/2024

This looks nice! Are you working on any particularly interesting projects at the moment?

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 18/11/2024

Btw, I love the design of your blog. What stack and theme are you using?

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 18/11/2024

I'm still in the early chapters of the book! That makes sense, thank you :)

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 18/11/2024

I'm thinking what would be a sensible way to partition data apart from datetime? Datetime partition would mean every external request queries a lot more than it needs to

Did anything motivate this blog all of a sudden?

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 18/11/2024

This needs to be a long thread or a blog post!

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 18/11/2024

Just took the first step with muting certain political words. I will update this thread with a list if it works out.

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 18/11/2024

How do I get rid of politics from my feed? I can't be the only one here who does not want to see the left vs right arguments.

How do you recommend getting started on the Pathless Path journey? I do realise the irony of completely missing the point by asking this question lol

Only because people continue to use it. I do not like using Excel, but that is irrelevant when I am forced to work with it.

010

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 18/11/2024

I had to use Google Translate to understand this, and I can 100% relate to why you are unhappy. I hope the below clarification helps. Both of us are on the same side! bsky.app/profile/chin...

Excel is still the king of BI because it is not going away no matter how hard data people try to streamline things. I have automated out a number of Excel workflows using better tools in all of my orgs so far, but it is only a drop in the ocean compared to how many of them are out there.

010

Chinar Amrutkar @chinaramrutkar.com · 18/11/2024

Just to be perfectly clear, I do NOT like how prominent Excel is for BI and for sharing BI results within organisations. I find it very messy, debugging is harder than it needs to be, and do not get me started on dataset versioning.

As much as I hate to say this, Excel is king 👑 #databs 📊
