SQL tip for data problem-solvers: Window functions are your friends. They allow you to perform calculations across a set of rows that are somehow related to the current row. Great for comparing, ranking, and aggregating. A powerful tool in your problem-solving toolkit.

When I was looking for a job and couldn't even get one washing dishes, I felt pretty down. But I didn't give up. I kept trying and finally got a job at McDonald's. And eventually, to a data role that I love and appreciate.

In data analysis, data quality is important. But at some point, you have to work with what you've got. Be transparent about limitations. Do your best with the available data. Perfection is a myth.

Good data visualization needs both. Without the science, it's just pretty pictures. Without the art, it's just dry numbers.
