DESCRIPTION
Joe Reis and Matt Housley, co-authors of "Fundamentals of Data Engineering," discuss the evolution of their field three years after their book's publication. They explore how the rise of AI tools has transformed data engineering practices, the ongoing importance of foundational knowledge, and the challenges facing junior engineers in an AI-dominated landscape. The conversation covers the balance between leveraging AI assistance and maintaining core expertise, the resurgence of classical techniques, and why fundamental principles remain more relevant than ever.
