Joe Reis and Matt Housley on the fundamentals of data engineering
After co-writing the best-selling book ‘Fundamentals of Data Engineering’, Joe Reis and Matt Housley joined the bros for some much-needed ranting, priceless data advice, and good laughs. So why are we still talking about providing business value and dashboards, even though we don’t really have anything new to say?If there are so many great tools in the data stack, why are we still so troubled? How can we focus more on things like data governance and data quality that’ll actually push the industry forward?
Benjamin: Hi, and welcome back, everyone, on the Data Engineering Show. Today, we again have two amazing guests, kind of Joe and Matt. You probably know them from the book Fundamentals of Data Engineering, which is really well known. And we again have our awesome co-host, Robert, joining in today, because I know you are super excited about getting to talk to Joe and Matt again.
Robert Harmon: Oh, straight to me, huh? Well, it's great to see you guys. You again, Joe, and it's great to meet you for the first time, Matt. Really, we try and keep things fairly low key in these and try and stay out of trouble if we can, but that doesn't always happen. But I do have some questions, and I figured, I've got you guys here and you really do work the entire industry rather than a single product or a single content, you know.
