I'm not saying having kids is unnatural or anything, but I'd have been damned grateful to have a single night off every eight weeks after my child was born. Having capable grandparents around is a terrific benefit. You're rig

There are a few things, but not much that I have had a better experience in Spark with as compared to using something like apache pig with UDFs. Now this part might be a matter of how things are set up where I work, but I find that working

As a software engineer who later learned SQL, I could not disagree more. Within the parameters that it is designed for, SQL is a terrific language that makes exploring and manipulating data much easier than tools like python or Scala. That
