I want to switch from my current support role in Datastage to a more developer focused data engineering role. Please help!

I have been working for the past two years in a global professional services and consulting firm, (I don't know if naming them is a good idea).

While I was hired post college through general exam selection, I was unlucky in getting the project as I am currently working as a Support Analyst in Datastage and Teradata. If you haven't heard or used Datastage, I don't blame you, it is an ETL Data Integration tool designed by IBM which is one of the worst tools in existence. Though our client company has the pipeline primarily built on this so we are using it but even now we are transitioning with newer projects in other Cloud Based Data Tools.

The tool is horrible and there isn't much growth potential in it, especially in the current job market. I want to switch jobs as the current working conditions in my current project are barely passable, with horrible working hours(40 hours working weekend shifts sometimes twice a month), with peanuts in the name of Salary, along with other issues, and most of all, I studied to become a Developer and the support role is eating my mind out.

I have been working on Databricks and GCP on the side, I have been seeing the growth of technologies and AI boom and right now I don't even know what to focus on to catch-up the time that has been wasted by working in the current project.

If possible can I get some career guidance on what I should focus on to make a career switch. My interest is still in Data Engineering hence why I have been studying Databricks and GCP but I want to focus on a Developer role and be up-to-date with any development that might help me out in switching from this role as soon as possible.

Thank you if you have read so far.

Which is an actor who can act amazingly in no matter what the script is? (My Answer Kay Kay Menon)

Personally I have never seen any movie of his where I didn't enjoy him in, there are always varying quality but he always stands out.

Best example: https://youtu.be/gq4KwosLPPo?si=PyHaB-65BbamVMzM

He is saying the most horrible stuff ever but he says with so so much conviction that you almost accidentally feel like you should root for him, even though he is a main villain.

Something to pass the Break Month...hopefully.

It seems Horizontal will take a long month... to let our Glorious king showcase his first masterpiece. I can't wait any longer, so let's get creative, shall we?

Build Your Own Enchanted Blade is a simple framework based on design patterns I've noticed across most Enchanted Blades. It's not meant to be an official guide—just my interpretation, pieced together from discussions, theories, and insights shared by this amazing community.

The goal is to provide a coherent baseline for what an Enchanted Blade might look like, making it easier for people to create their own while staying consistent with the principles we've seen so far. This way, everyone can follow similar rules, and hopefully, this will be fun to work on for everyone.

Based on the patterns we've seen so far, every Enchanted Blade should follow three core principles:

1. Three Distinct Abilities

Every Enchanted Blade should possess three abilities:

  • An Offensive Ability (e.g., Kuro) — primarily focused on dealing damage and overwhelming opponents.
  • A Defensive Ability (e.g., Aka) — used for defence, evasion, protection, or redirecting attacks.
  • A Utility Ability (e.g., Nishiki) — an ability that provides support, enhances the user's capabilities, or strengthens the other abilities.

Together, these three abilities create a balanced and versatile combat style.

2. A Consistent Theme

Each Enchanted Blade should revolve around a clear theme that is reflected in both its abilities and its names.

For example:

  • CrowOwl, and Suzaku (Phoenix) follow a bird motif.
  • PlayBanquet, and Festival follow a theme of celebration and entertainment.
  • MeiYoi, and Kou are connected through elements of nature.

The theme doesn't have to be literal, but it should tie the blade's abilities together into a cohesive identity.

3. Protection Comes First

Above all else, an Enchanted Blade exists to protect people.

Kunishige never forged the blades solely for war; he created them to safeguard those he loved and to defend others. As a result, every Enchanted Blade should have some meaningful way of protecting people.

Examples include:

  • Tobimune — can teleport to and heal the wounded.
  • Cloud Gouger — can create ice structures to shield and defend others.
  • Kumeyuri — can manipulate and move objects, allowing it to control crowds and keep people out of danger.

No matter how destructive a blade may be, its ultimate purpose should always be protection.

Now for the fun part: design your own Enchanted Blade!

If this gets enough interest, I'll make this a weekly community event and feature a blade from the previous thread—chosen based on community feedback and my personal favourite (assuming the mods allow my shenanigans).

Feel free to post your blade in the comments or make a separate post and link it here. Artwork, original characters, Kagurabachi characters, and even characters from other series are all welcome.

Let's see what you, fellow disciples of Kunishige, can create. I will post an example Enchanted Blade in a few hours, you have time till whenever I make the second post lol, sometime next week.

Fyi: My previous post didn't get approved so I will just try again and lets see.

The Holy Grail War of Truth - Master Profile - Master of Rider

Set in an alternate world, the Fourth Holly Grail War ended in somewhat hopeful terms, and yet a mage's hunger for the root and human desire never ends. A new grail war is beginning, one that might bring forth a new disaster.

>Synopsis: In this timeline, The Holy Church identified that the overseer has divulged from the path of God and sent executioners to end the Herresy allowing Kiritsugu Emiya to understand the true meaning of the grail war earlier and he managed to destroy the Holy Grail and end the Tyranny of the King of Heroes while saving his daughter and wife from the clutches of the Einzeberg and moved to a different country, along with their adopted son Shirou Emiya. Waver Velvet moved to the clock tower and took his rightful place as Lord El-Melloi II, and he took Rin Tohsaka as his first student from an early age. All these events led to the Fifth Holy Grail to never begin in Japan, but somewhere, in the west, some mages used the instance to steal the blueprint and begin a New Holy Grail War dubbed as The First Holy Grail War of the United America.

Master of Rider - Kirei Kotomine

Profile: After the fourth Holy Grail war, due to the interference of the Holy Church, and most of all Kiritsugu Emiya, Kirei lost it all. He was barely able to survive, ready to give up all, but then a feeling rose inside him, a feeling he never thought would exist in him as a Holy Man. A sin he should have never committed, yet his mind did, it was rage. He was banished from the Holy Church, yet he managed to steal a few command spells and all the money and mystic codes he could take from Tohsaka's family inventory.

He moved to Russia, planning his revenge and his retribution, and to fulfil his desire for the pain of others. He was contacted after some time by a mage from America, and an unexpected opportunity surfaced that could lead to disasters of unknown calibre. The mage who called himself nothing but a humble servant of the greatest country ever was Faldeus Dioland.

Together with Fladeus, Kirei would help create a blueprint for the Holy Grail War, though not using the third one, which had many defects; all the wars up to that time were used as a whole to reverse engineer a workable version of the Holy Grail War. What they developed was a poor imitation of the original Holy Grail War, but it didn't matter, as in principle, it was possible to recreate the original as well. Thus, Fladeus moves in as an undercover to the Mage's Association under Langal, while Kirei starts preparing for his stage on which he will get to dance once more.

In the past few years, since the fourth holy grail war, he has replaced the existing priest at the Holy Church in Russia and has secretly kept hundreds of people, as his own half-dead toys to satisfy his hunger for the pain of others, and now it was time to bring out their cold bodies, for summoning the strongest being he could summon.

In Snowfield, a year after his initial meeting with Faldeus, Kierie, using the tortured bodies of all his victims, in the church of Snowfield. He sacrifices all as a catalyst and attempts to summon something terrible, and thus he answered.

The Church itself is destroyed, and there stands a giant, never seen in this world before.

Dialogue:

Rider: Are you the master who dared summoned me in this unholy and barren land.

Kierie shaking seeing the monstorous figure in front of him, and yet pulls himself together.

Kierie: Unholy, oh yes this is the most unholy place of all and yet we are my servant part of the greatest Holy War that will ever take place.

Rider looking patiently

Kierie: Look ahead, my dear servant for we are surrounded by nothing but heretics and we must as servants no as hands of God himself, bring the unjust, the fakes and demons back to the Holy Light.

Rider Growls with Excitement

Kierie: So, here my fellow crusader tell me what is your name and help me take this Holy war to its ideal end, so we can descend to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Rider: "While on his knees" Oh Humbler priest and my Fellow Crusader, I am King Ivan or you may call me Tsar, the greatest ruler and protector of Russia. I shall support you in this Holy War and win it for the one true god, no matter what is the price.

Kierie Smiles menacingly and proud of his own achievement

I hope you all liked it. I will be posting more about other masters and servants in the near future. You guys want to read or no more about this small project, kindly check out my previous post. The Holly Grail War of Truth has begun.

Again, if you have any opinions, points, or just guidance, feel free to share with me. I will try my best to implement them.

And again, Thanks for reading so far.

The Holly Grail War of Truth has begun[Read Description]

Set in an alternate world, the Fourth Holly Grail War ended in somewhat hopeful terms, and yet a mage's hunger for the root and human desire never ends. A new grail war is beginning, one that might bring forth a new disaster.

Synopsis: In this timeline, The Holy Church identified that the overseer has divulged from the path of God and sent executioners to end the Herresy allowing Kiritsugu Emiya to understand the true meaning of the grail war earlier and he managed to destroy the Holy Grail and end the Tyranny of the King of Heroes while saving his daughter and wife from the clutches of the Einzeberg and moved to a different country, along with their adopted son Shirou Emiya.

All these events led to the Fifth Holy Grail to never begin in Japan, but somewhere, in the west, some mages used the instance to steal the blueprint and begin a New Holy Grail War dubbed as The First Holy Grail War of the United America.

Arena Of War: Snowfield

Timeline: 7 days

Participants:

1) Orlando Reeve: The Master of Lancer. The King of Knights who led her country to a golden age, a ruler so great that the world will forever sing songs of her Glory, Altoria Pendragon.

2) Rin Tohsaka: The Master of Caster. The King of Heroes, a Hero written as the First King, who rules above all, and all that was, and all that is and all that shall ever exist will forever be part of his treasure, King Gilgamesh.

3) Touko Aozaki: The Master of Archer. The Son of the God of Thunder and weather, perfection himself, born to rule and yet to fight his own kin, Arjuna.

4) Lord El-Melloi II(Waver Velvet): The Master Of Pretender(Rider). Known by many names, Alexander, Iskandar, Alexandros, Dhul-Qarnayn, and "he of the two horns," and the greatest of all the King of Conquerors. Yet the one who answered is nothing but a mere shadow, Hephaestion.

5) Kirei Kotomine: The Master of Rider. The most cruel and worst ruler of humanity, an existence more beast than man that has never been seen or will be seen by this world. Ivan The Terrible.

6) Kairi Sisigou: The Master of Assassins. A spy active in the underworld, and lived the strangest life among all spies. An exotic dancer, her legs continued to bewitch military officers until the day she was executed as a spy. Her Birth Name was Margaretha Geertruida Zelle. Mata Hari.

7) Bazdilot Cordelion: The Master of Saber/Caster. With an honest and valorous personality. He is a lover of art, and a devotee of the Holy Woman Jeanne d'Arc, and yet, a personality so horrible even as a Knight, his true nature is forced upon him. Gilles de Rais.

8) Kiritsugu Emiya: The Master of Berserker. Maybe he was a man, a police officer, perhaps a woman, perhaps a child, perhaps a beast or perhaps a demon. With so many names and tales and fears, yet nothing it could call its own. The Most Notorious Serial Killer of London. Jack The Ripper.

That's all folks. I know this was a mouthful, and I know I probably made a lot of mistakes. I just recently completed Fate Strange/Fake, and I will be honest, my love for the Fate Series was reignited, and as such, I wanted to make a smaller yet interesting version of my own Holy Grail war. I hope this will be an interesting and fun project. I will be posting lore on each master and servant and how they came to be partaking in this Holly Grail War soon. Dubbed as The First Holy Grail War of the United America or The Holly Grail War of Truth.

Thanks for reading so much.

After watching Dhurandhar 2 and then War 2(Yeah I watched it after D2) recently, Bollywood seriously need some proper action choreographers

Both the movies start with an opening act of the main hero walking through a hoard of enemies and killing through them in glorious fashion, but the execution of how both the movies do it, is night and day.

I don't wanna go into emotional or story telling aspects of both movies but the core action scene.

Dhurandhar 2 stars with Jaskirat preparing his gun, tying the ammunition on his AK together so he can reload faster, and then going through his enemies, it isn't a battle it is a massacre, we just don't know that yet but we can already feel the tension.

He goes slowly with enemy after enemy, and the best part for most of the time as they used only minimal amount of cuts in this scene we feel everything with him, as it is all a continuous motion, along with that Jaskirat is properly holding the gun, maintaining proper posture, like a proper soldier attacking a terrorist bunker.

We can see where they are coming from some are bringing hammers, he is fighting them realistically he is overpowering them because he is a trained soldier but it doesn't feel like he has to do something special he just uses his surroundings better, they shoot at him so he takes cover and shoots when they are pushing at him. They rush him in melee so he makes sure to hit at the weak spot restrict their movements and kill them. This is such a well done scene, the best action scene of both the movies and with the amazing music chef's kiss. Nothing makes you say "Aisa kabhi hota hai kya".

In comparison War 2, Kabir is attacking this random Japanese gang boss, he comes in full on aura farming and I liked the start, the tones of the movies are different and it works, but then the fight stars. One thing being there is props to them for giving a reason why they aren't just shooting bullets from the start. That's all good though after that shit goes to fire.

Kabir gets attacked with a few men with a sword, he punches through them in slow motion while flexing his muscles, them two elder guys attacks with a sword, he beats them using Zoro's three sword style, though just using it in one hand. Then more people and he kills them and then Ninjas jump at him and he starts fighting and they aren't attacking him. This is so funny we legit see guys in the background just jumping waiting for the turn while he fights one or two guys. Like I understand realistically he can't fight them all but at least try to hide it, but they make it worse by using slow motion shots so we can clearly see what is happening.

Then he gets caught and he can't move, now the guys behind him throw chains at a table in front of him pull it toward him to crush him and my mind went like Wtf... I was legit angry at bad guys who actually want to die at this point. Then he goes to finish of the bad guy, and his sexy japanese assistants start shooting at them, and what he does it shakes the bridge and then uses batman's grappling hook to attach himself with The Bad guy's escape helicopter say fuck you to physics and then shoots his pilot in the head and falls from like 20 meter on his back not even his legs on his back and done.

This could have been so better if they had tried, and it isn't like it isn't possible movies like Deadpool, John Wick, heck even first war has some amazing action scenes but this was so bs. Bollywood really need some good stunt choreographer. This is just embarassing.
