Data Engineering Central, – June 23, 2025
We all love our little language wars: the vitriol, the expletives, the dank memes that accompany them.
You may recall, as your friendly neighborhood Anonymous Rust Dev, that I’ve been magnanimous and kind to the Python language. This is because I’m above it all – I can find the beauty in any language if I look hard enough, and I’m willing to give credit where it’s due.
But even I have my breaking point, which I’d like to explore today. How clunky does a language need to be to make itself my foe?
About
Overview
Regular, sarcastic, and to-the-point Data Engineering content. We fly in the face of the vendor. Long Live Data Engineering!
The aim is for 1+ posts a week for paid subscribers, and a sprinkle of free ones to keep things spicy. Whitty, heady, and straight to the point of real-life Data Engineering problems.
Who do people say that I am?
I’m Daniel Beach, I’m an avid outdoorsman, reader, father, and Data Engineer. I started as a Data Analyst many a year ago, worked as a BI Engineer, then lately a Data Engineer.
I don’t write to make people happy, I try to tell the truth and not pretend to be the smartest person in the room. Just an average guy doing average things, while sharing what I learn.
I’ve also written for a few years over www.confessionsofadataguy.com , check it out for more technical content.
