   Initially that was my experience too but over the past 2 years I've found that more and more places are switching to Java or Python for Spark Data Engineering actually, it might only be in my local market though.

   Yes I've noticed this too. After a few Scala contract gigs (3 years) I haven't done any Scala in the past year and a half, Java and Python seem to be gaining more ground for new projects, specially in the enterprise or government.

   Interesting read...I actually came to this very conclusion after an amazing mushroom trip when I was watching the movie "her". I actually drew schematics of how I envisioned the whole system would work lol.

   But how do you get people to talk to you in the first place? How do you get potential customers to disclose their true problems? As an introvert I have ZERO clue about how to start the conversation, how to introduce myself, if I'm not

   Agree I would have signed up if it wasn't for the pricing...as it stands now it's totally not worth it.

    Can you summarize some of the techniques suggested in the course?

    Python, Scala and Go would be great additions (in that order).

    it should be in a bigger font, and it seems like it's the only place where language compatibility is clearly visible without going into the documentation.

    Music...I've always loved music but never learned to play an instrument, the few times I tried I got so frustrated because I'm always hearing melodies/rhythmic patterns in my head and could never replicate them with my rudime

    Great post however does anyone know how rate limiting specific users is typically implemented? For instance if you have a SaaS API with multiple subscription plans you generally rate limit users based on tier e.g free tier: up to X number o

    This is really really cool. What's the backend stack like if you don't mind me asking? I was thinking of implementing something like this for Daily Fantasy Sports stats...kinda like https://www.statmuse.com

    Might be a long shot but do you have any advice on how to get a "strong intuitive grasp" of probability, games (I'm assuming you mean game theory?) and asymmetric payoff situations. Any recommended study path?. Thanks in adva

    Not necessarily, I've been told that I'm highly opinionated but I am anything but exceptional (average, below average at best).

    Yes you are absolutely right, DSP knowledge is also a must. I didn't get that far, I started by identifying what makes people like a certain song and got it down to: Lyrical themes (and overall artist thematic) and melodic and rhythmic

    I agree however, creating something revolutionary in these spaces takes more than just fiddling with a couple of tensorflow tutorials or udacity courses. For instance I've always wanted to have a music recommendation engine/app th

    I'm stuck in the same spot. I agree that a lot of niches are already quite saturated. Are you open to collaborate? Maybe if we put our heads together we could think of something.
