  • I had horrible heartburn throughout my 20s and into my 30s. Mentioned it to every doctor. It would keep me up at night. It would hurt like a bitch and I’d often feel like i was throwing up. One new doctor was like, “you ever try a food allergen panel?”

    Turns out, I’m allergic to caesin. It’s a protein in pretty much all dairy. Stopped having dairy products and heartburn is 99% gone.

    Moral of the story: heartburn can be caused by a tonne of reasons and it’s hard to pinpoint if there’s even something concrete to even point to













  • Edit: this is from the perspective of a technical interviewer.

    I’ve done around 200 or so technical interviews for mostly senior data engineering roles. I’ve seen every version of made up code, terrible implementation suggestion and dozens of folks with 5+ years of experience and couldn’t wrote a JOIN to save their lives.

    The there were a couple where the resume was obviously made up because they couldn’t back up a single point and they just did not know a thing about data. They would usually talk in circles about buzzwords and Excel jaron. “They big data’d the data lake warehouse pivot hadoop in Azure Redshift.” Sure, ya did, buddy.

    Yes, they were “pre-screened”. This was one of the BIG tech companies.
