We have all been there. You watch a 5-hour tutorial, nod along, and then open a blank terminal… only to realize you have no idea where to start. “Tutorial hell” is real, and it is the biggest trap for aspiring Data Engineers. You don’t learn this job by just watching; you learn it by breaking things, reading error logs, and writing the code yourself. https://github.com/panchalaman/Data-Engineering-Journey/ That is why I created and open-sourced the Data Engineering Journey repo. I wanted to build a completely hands-on resource that skips the fluff and focuses on the actual tools you need to survive in production: Advanced SQL and Linux. Here is what you will actually be building: • SQL Beyond the Basics: We use DuckDB and MotherDuck to go way past simple SELECT statements. You will write complex CTEs, window functions, and eventually build a full Star Schema Data Warehouse and complete ETL pipelines. https://preview.redd.it/s1923yo8omkg1.png?width=1636&format=png&auto=webp&s=89417cb4e97b00c0ba3bec87f5a72181addf946f • Command Line Survival: GUI tools won’t save you on a remote server. You will get your hands dirty with awk, grep, system permissions, and writing automated Bash ETL scripts from scratch. https://preview.redd.it/m37g3kk9omkg1.png?width=1378&format=png&auto=webp&s=cdfd2aed00ee6f5d9f618c4526ef470cafe6c1cf • Git Fundamentals: Because version control is non-negotiable. This isn’t just about passing the rounds. It’s about building a genuine, deep understanding of how data systems work under the hood. My ask is simple: This entire curriculum is 100% free. If you check it out and find it valuable, I would really appreciate a ⭐️ on the GitHub repository! Also, open source works best when we build it together. Whether you are a beginner spotting a typo or a senior engineer wanting to add an advanced module, pull requests are incredibly welcome. Let’s make this the best starting point for the next wave of Data Engineers. 🤝 https://github.com/panchalaman/Data-Engineering-Journey/ #DataEngineering #SQL #Linux #OpenSource #TechCareers #DataScience #DuckDB #GitHub submitted by /u/amanakp
