Includes the context, options that were considered, chosen solution with consequences. Serves as a traceable rationale for future reference as well as new team members. Readme txt or…

The Golden Byte. Most valuable data
The Golden Byte. Most valuable data In data engineering, every byte has a cost but not all bytes are made to be equal ( read Animal Farm by George Orwell). We collect terabytes of data in the form of logs, metrics, cookies, text, pictorues and transactions. Yet only a small portion of this information is truly crucial and drives business outcomes. That fraction is what can call the Golden Byte, single most valuable unit of data that fuels strategic insight and decision-making. Data tiers architecture The Golden Byte embodies the essence of a gold layer in modern data architecture: raw ,curated , aggregated, and business-ready information. It is the outcome…

Know Your data. Cost per byte vs value per byte
Cost per byte vs. Value per byte: Rethinking Data Efficiency We are living in an era where nothing gets erased (just archived). Let us dwell on cost per byte vs value per byte of such data. Every byte you store, move, or process has a cost. We focus on cost saving. Data engineering isn’t just about hoarding everything, it’s a calculated risk about understanding whether those bytes are worth to store them. Pro hint – do not fall into the trap of 'let us grab everything and think about it later’. It does make sense until you figure out what is what but then remember to delete it ? Oh…

GIT token access issue – use special API url !
GIT token access issue will usually be that You are using a wrong url. When accessing files through the GitLab API using an access token you must use a special API URL, not the regular browser URL you see in firefox when navigating the repository. Using the standard browser URL will not work with API authentication tokens. Why Use the API URL? The regular repository URLs are designed for web browsers and do not support token-based authentication. (They could, but they just don`t :)) The GitLab API requires you to call its specific endpoints, which accept access tokens and return the raw file data or JSON metadata. URL Comparison Parameter…

Why people do not use Dvorak
Why people do not use Dvorak ? People are stubborn and do NOT LIKE CHANGE. tldr;) People’s stubbornness and environmental factors significantly hinder the adoption of superior systems, as shown by the example of the Dvorak keyboard layout. Dvorak’s design was intended to reduce finger movement, increase typing speed, and reduce fatigue—placing the most frequently used letters on the home row. Sounds cool and sensible ? Because it is. However… Its adoption never came to be. The traditional QWERTY layout still is the established standard, compatibility with existing shortcuts and the high cost in effort and time to retrain millions meant people stuck with what they knew despite evidence that…
