Planned to get to know and get my feet wet on pair programming (never done that before) but I'm not confident enough 😂

So I was all about CSS flexbox & learned a bit about Google analytics this week 😊

I finally learned the serious power of dbt (data modeling) docs commands in dbt CLI ... It’s changed my whole workflow and saved me tons of time combing through model architecture! It’s a 10 minute, 2 command investment that lets you see powerful graphs of your model lineage.

Adapted a Batch Script for deploy of an internal application in a development environment. I wrote some stuff with it when I was a kid but never had the opportunity to use it in a professional environment. It was pretty interesting coming back to the language having a deeper programming knowledge and learning it again.

This week I learnt something cool about message format other than JSON i.e. Apache Avro. It is a data serialization system. Avro format is a key factor in Event Driven Architecture (EDA) for your massage/payload. This is recommended in Distributed Streaming platforms like Kafka because the message/event of avro format converted into byte array ans stored so it will be faster and occupies very less memory
