After 18 years of classical data warehousing, i finally got to dive into the data lake (-house), which i won't leave anytime soon it seems.

Besides signing the [DataOps Manifesto](https://dataopsmanifesto.org/), i am also a supporter of the "treat data as a product" movement.

Since one of my main treats is laziness (when it comes to repetitive tasks), i developed a natural interest in DevOps & automation. And due to constant lack of sleep, I usually don't touch any code, unless it's version controlled. That includes but is not limited to: cloud infrastructure (as code), database schemas, pipeline definitions, all kinds of scripts, notebooks and the grocery list for my next shopping tour.

As a result of the above, i somehow stumbled into the beautiful world of DevOps (although that name was not a thing back then). My personal project lifecycle these days often goes looks like this: Getting hired as an architect/data enginner at first, but then silently turning into the dedicated DevOps and Git guy. Although it was never my intention, i think i got the DevOps bingo card full now:

However, there can be only one god. And for me that is and always will be: __Git__[^git]. After using it for almost a decade, i still feel like i don't know half of it and am constantly amazed how limitless the possibilities of this genius piece of software really are.

## Scripting

Since __DevOps and automation__ usually require some sort of scripting, i found myself dealing with the usual (scripting) suspects: Powershell, Bash, Python (and for fun and good looks also: Fish).

Regarding __data manipulation & transformation__ i am most experienced in T-SQL, due to spending many years implementing SQL warehouses. Switching to Python felt a bit odd at first, but today there is no doubt it in my mind: The added value one gets (for free) from the whole Python software engineering eco-system (formatting, linting, automated testing, packaging, ...) cannot be missed out on. Implementing data projects in Python almost starts to feel like 'real' software development these days.
