Data Engineer Things Newsletter #4
Curated resources for the Data Engineer Things community.
Hello everyone!
It’s officially August! I’m taking a trip back to Minneapolis later this month and planning to visit the Minnesota State Fair. Their deep-fried pickles are a must-try! 🥒
The Data Engineer Things (DET) community is now a family of almost 3000 members! Thank you for being part of it!
🌟 Community Highlights
As you may already know, DET is also an online publication on Medium for data engineers to share their expertise and insights in writing. Our publication has grown so much in the past few months - we now have 1.4K followers and are part of the selective Boost Pilot Program.
And… We want to encourage more folks to discover the joy of technical writing!
DET and
are co-hosting a session on Medium Day (3 PM, Aug 12th PT)! In this panel discussion, you will hear from DET editors and Ben to learn about their journeys in technical writing, how blogging accelerated their career growth, and tips for new writers to get started.👉 Sign up for Medium Day HERE (free registration).
