Worse still, I feel like doing unit testing at the expense of integration testing can create a false sense of security. Unit tests often skip the error cases that are really important for real life scenarios. We've recently introduced

Agreed. And honestly, finding an entry-level SWE job with a degree in Mathematics + a background in data science is probably easier than finding an actual data science position.

I rather see it as scaling creativity. Nowadays I spend more time with designing, refining tickets/specs, code reviews and mentoring than coding myself. I mostly enjoy it, it feels like moving forward. It is sometimes a bit frustrating

Nice, sharing the models across Codebases but only doing the migrations on one side is definitely what I'd be looking for.

This looks promising. Using prisma both in TypeScript app backends and in Python data pipelines would make switching between the two without much cognitive overhead much easier. I'll probably oppose introducing a different Python ORM a

Yes, exactly. Arntz et al [2019] also put this into a much more reasonable perspective that „We'll lose our jobs due to Software and AI“: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/334386191_Digitaliz... They also c

There are two ways to look at it, though: One is to lament how previously specialized professions like taxi drivers become replaced by low-skilled laborers who just need to drive and use an app. The other way is to appreciate how technology

I'd say that it definitely depends on the business. If you are selling you product via your web site and you're suddenly on TV with millions watching and accessing your site, you definitely don't want the server to go downand

I wouldn't say that it's less portable than using your custom txt file file format. But sure, in order to really make it shine and you'll want to use Emacs and something like orgzly on the phone.
