It was a long year and you still hold on to my writing? Thank you - genuinely. Now, since you've made it this far, I want to give you a gift. You know, I'm a simple man - my favorite holiday is New Year, and if you check the calendar you can guess I'm a bit happier right now. I've been writing for a long time without giving much back to you, fellow reader - I assume a data engineer, maybe a future colleague. What I write is usually deeply technical stuff, occasional rants, sometimes practical tips, and sentimental career advice for fellow data engineers. If you like how that sounds and want access to the paid posts too, there's a 30% off yearly discount running right now: https://luminousmen.substack.com/129bfd67 I keep some work on the paid side to make it sustainable and to go deeper instead of chasing clicks. As I said before, gated knowledge is where we're heading - I'm just trying to keep the gate cheap and honest. ho-ho-ho-ho 🎄
