Big recommendation for the weekend: The Farmer Was Replaced is a game where you control a drone farmer to tend crops that you control by writing code in python. I've had so much fun with this and my family is annoyed by how much I love this.

My least favorite kind of interview question is some variation of: in just one word, how do you feel? In just a sentence, what do you think about x? You aren't making a word cloud, don't restrict the response bozo.

Airflow is so much better than my early career alternative of writing a vba script to run other vba scripts on a schedule held in a spreadsheet

I've been caffeinating less at work lately. Feeling much less anxious but my lack of focus could become a real problem. Finding the balance between my anxiety and ADHD is a hell of a battle.

I've been in Tableau land for the last 6 months. Today I dipped my toe back into Looker Studio and god I miss it. I get that the sky is the limit with Tableau but I don't want to build the sky. I want tables, bar charts, and line charts. My stakeholders want an easy export to excel.

Today I learned to not load rows into redshift directly from dataframes. It's crazy slow.

There’s a rewatch of “The Good place” occurring in my house so this feels apt.

I've been data posting less lately because I'm like 4/10 good at my job currently. I think the job is just harder and I have to dedicate myself to it more. Probably need to medicate my ADHD again.

If you want to be a good data manager, you have to get really comfortable with asking a lot of questions. When something is unclear or doesn't seem right, you can't settle or make assumptions. That's how you end up with bad data. Stay curious.
