Oddly also have seen juniors reach for Python very quickly when a bit of SQL would do the job faster, quicker, and with less code to write or maintain. Plenty of non intuitive bits there like window functions

Have written a bit about some other things that were a bit unintuitive for earlier folks:

- Testing: offline, shadow, A/B
- Labelling: that it’s never that clear cut in real world settings

Probably less tool specific than your ask though

On the MLOps front, I feel that it was a bit of a moving target a few years ago but the general components (incl. model/feature registry) are now pretty well established

it’s not that kind of movie, kid

It might be harder to reach (the slop), or easier (the help); prospectively, excellence itself might also soon be changed

And let this be a reminder that the best teams in the planet can get caught offguard by issues.

In 2021, ALL of Meta (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger) went fully down for 6 hours.

Not partial degradation, like today on Amazon... fullly down
