I'm not saying nay against learning the code as we've known it, like bootcamp level kind of thing, or even a hackathon.

You go and go to a hackathon because somebody says it's cool and then you get hooked on software development.

I'm not saying nay to that, but I think if you can conceptually understand even things like ETL pipelines, right?

Even that, I'm using ETL pipelines never before.

Before December, November last year, never.

Knew what they were, knew how they were utilized, but my ETL pipeline is not exactly the definition of extract, transform, load, but it's a version of take something from here, have a silver layer or have a bronze layer, then transform it into a silver layer and then have a final production to go, which is the Medaille method.

And I didn't even know that until AI taught me it.

It's like, hey, what we're doing here is kind of like... Oh, you learned via brainstorming?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, because I knew about ETL as a concept before.

And then when it explained it to me, I'm like, you know, there's got to be a better way.

And I'm like, yeah, we should build a pipeline.

I'm like, okay, let's talk about that.

And then I learned about Medallion Method, which is the bronze, silver, gold kind of process to an e-tail pipeline.

And as a practitioner, I began to learn more.

Now I'm really well versed in it.

But before that, I had only understood it as a concept.

And so I was using a concept to drive the direction, which then taught me through iteration.

And now it's, you know,

Table stakes.
