The two positions are not interchangeable—and misperceptions of their roles can hurt teams and compromise productivity. It’s important to understand the differences between a data engineer and a data scientist. Misunderstanding or not knowing these differences are making teams fail or underperform with big data.

This is a bit of a rant but I really don’t like software that invents its own query language. There’s a trillion different ORMs out there. Another trillion databases with their own query language. Another trillion SaaS products where the only way to query is to learn some random query DSL they made up. I just want my SQL back. It’s a language everyone understands, it’s been around since the seventies, and it’s reasonably standardized.

There are a number of debates about which additional skills designers should learn. Should designers code, write, or understand business? These skills are incredibly valuable but perhaps not essential. However, I would argue that every designer should learn the fundamentals of psychology. As humans, we have an underlying “blueprint” for how we perceive and process the world around us, and the study of psychology helps us define this blueprint.

Most of the developers, teams, companies, etc. that we know haven’t updated past Java 8 yet. Even with the release of module Java 9 last year, and the quick release of Java 10 that followed in March. It’s a bit shocking, though not surprising, that two new versions of the JDK were released in the last year and that relatively few people are using them.
