I joined lemm.ee and I’m honestly really liking it so far. @[email protected] is doing a great job!
However, I’m wondering if I should create a new account on programming.dev (or somewhere else) to be closer to where data science / data engineering conversations are happening.
Or maybe there’s a way to promote [email protected] to folks on other instances? (I didn’t create this one but I’m hoping it’s discovered by others soon)
This is great 😂
I am down to talk about anything honestly - but just off the top of my head right now:
Can you think of a good analogy to explain databases to complete beginners?
The ole ‘filing cabinet’ analogy is used a lot but I am looking for something fresh. The students will be epidemiologists / public health people that are very science literate but not necessarily tech-savvy.
“you know excel? Yeah, that’s a database.” Would be my answer.
