I’ve been doing two things the last few weeks.
Preparing for a 7-day backpacking trip.
Working a lot.
Writing a lot.
Onboarding a new Sponsor for the newsletter.
It’s been a fun and exciting ride this year, moving slowly from www.confessionsofadataguy.com over to this Substack. Landing some sponsors, and writing more and more and more.
I’ve learned a few things so far.
Consistency is hard.
Make room for rest.
Make room for fun and family.
Don’t listen to the noise, do what you love.
I made a conscious effort this year to spend a lot of time outdoors with friends and family, doing what I love most … staring at trees.
I’ve also got an upcoming backpacking trip in Washington State and then in October with the family going to Colorado and Utah.
Doing all this stuff keeps me grounded and not burned out. Getting away from screens and code helps me be more creative while keeping the content pumping out, and have a good attitude about it which is important!
Doing tech stuff.
As you probably know, I’ve been writing Rust on and off, and even started my own open-source Data Quality project called TinyTimmy, which has already picked up some contributors!
I always try to keep close to the real-world Data Engineering stuff going on in the wild. Sometimes is hard to bounce between high-level content and programming stuff in the weeds.
