Data skills nobody taught you | Saturdata

Your SQL is great. But can you actually ship? Sam and Shifra kick off Season 1 (since Saturdata is zero-indexed) by covering the unsung skills that separate someone who writes queries from someone who builds things: terminal literacy, dependency management, Git, notebooks, and why UV might be Python's best friend right now. Plus, a deep dive into Marimo, the notebook tool that fixes everything you hate about Jupyter.

🌊 Check out the deep dive here: https://youtu.be/SWcLulIhVkg

We talk about:

- Terminal basics and why middle-school-level literacy is all you need

- Virtual environments, dependency conflicts, and why UV is the move

- Git fundamentals: staging, committing, and why humans still need to be in the loop

- What's wrong with Jupyter notebooks (and who's fault it is)

- Marimo: reactive notebooks, SQL cells, and dashboards all in one

Chapters:

0:00 - Welcome back (and why season two is called season one)

0:47 - Auxiliary data skills: the glue holding everything together

2:08 - How this season works: yap episodes + deep dives

4:01 - What auxiliary skills actually are (bash, docker, makefiles, oh my)

5:43 - Terminal literacy: your middle school diploma starts here

10:12 - Finding your terminal on Mac, Windows, and the WSL escape hatch

11:52 - Essential commands every data person should know

15:46 - Notebooks: an educational tool that accidentally went to production

19:55 - The biggest problems with traditional Jupyter notebooks

23:37 - Virtual environments and dependency conflicts, explained

26:30 - UV: the one tool to rule them all

30:24 - Git: version control, branching, and why humans still need to be in the loop
