I fell in love again with SQL while working in my current position. What _really_ made me fall in love was the project dbt[0] which is a SQL compiler and executor. You can build a DAG of transformations all the way from your raw data to tables ready for viewing in your BI tool or consumption by your ML model. I'm still amazed at the things I can do with SQL alone without having to bring Python into the picture.
Also, I had the pleasure of meeting Craig at PyTennessee a few years back. Really great guy and yes, he does seem to wear a hat all the time!

- yittcvz 8y agoSame experience here. dbt has been a pleasure to work with, and putting it on Redshift with Redshift Spectrum has proven a great pipeline for our startup.
