Longtime data engineer - web apps in vanilla HTML/CSS/JS with Node - and some fun with ncurses in C++. Copilot is helping me out a bit but I’m having fun!
Hey, you're like my evil twin! Longtime web dev here who always wanted to learn more data engineering.
HTML/CSS/JS is fun and creative to some degree, but kinda abstract. Data engineers get to work with real-world phenomena! What prompted the interest in web stuff?

1 - I feel like more bespoke interfaces could be amazingly useful in the data world.
2 - Data engineering doesn’t really get me building creatively.
3 - Getting 3 languages to play ball (and that’s front-end only) sounds crazy challenging.
Data projects are nightmares but it is good exposure to the messiness of the real world. Have you had a chance to dig into DE much yet?
