6 Things You Need To Know About Data Management And Why It Matters For Computer Vision
This "best practices" list struck a chord since I've previously done work in the computer vision space. I was on the engineering side, so things were more programmatic, meaning the "data organization" point was most applicable. However, for data science teams doing ad-hoc research or model training, these are definitely good rules to adhere to. - John Forstmeier

How to improve at SQL as a data engineer
As someone with a background in Data Science, Data Engineering became a vital part of my day-to-day job. I think this article has some great tips that I learned through working in dbt for clients. I love that the author starts with what I believe are the two most important parts of a data engineer's life that are often ignored: "Why is this data needed?" and "Who is the end-user of this data?" - Steven Johnson
Lonestar's planned Moon-based backup data centers target lunar lava tubes
It's not explicitly in the data engineering space, but it's really cool to see some super futuristic cold storage infrastructure being planned. Your data can't get much safer than backing it up on the moon! - John Forstmeier

Lessons Learned from Writing My First Python Script
I believe Vincent makes some interesting observations in his experience with working with Python the first time. The biggest ones to me is his suggestion to purchase a book or series to help get started and your code should be standard as opposed to "reflecting a coder's personality." He also ends the article with an interesting rhetorical question: "Should you hire a programmer with no Python experience, for a Python job?" - Steven Johnson
