Data Engineering 101 (via)

This is a great book that appears to mirror much of the content from the Fundamentals of Data Engineering book by Joe Reis and Matt Housley. I'm finding it really satisfying this week digging more into the distinctions between data engineering, data science, data analysis, software engineering, and everything in between. I started out in very standard software development roles, building rails apps for various companies. My roles over the last few years have been decidedly not typical web development ones, but I'm never quite sure how exactly to explain what I do best. I feel like I'm finally on to something with all of this data engineering stuff.
