Beyond Data Engineering ft. Joe Reis

​‪@mehdio‬ and Joe Reis recently sat down (with moderate drinks 😉) for an insightful conversation, diving into the different aspects of data engineering. Their discussions touched on the fears surrounding data, the critical role of communication in the field, and Joe's journey as a "recovering data scientist."

They didn't stop there - Joe also opened up about his motivations for writing his book, dishing out nuggets of wisdom for those data engineers just starting their careers and aspiring authors of technical books.
