One Month Into Learning Data Engineering in Public: Here’s What I Didn’t Write About
A personal reflection on the first month of a public data engineering learning journey, covering the emotional and motivational realities that didn't make it into the technical build articles. Topics include deviating from a planned roadmap, hitting non-technical walls disguised as coding problems, nearly pivoting to AI engineering due to shiny object syndrome, and finding sustainable motivation through helping others rather than chasing a distant job goal. The author also shares a shift in learning strategy toward smaller, completable projects over large portfolio builds.
