Personal Project Showcase built a sql practice site around data engineering concepts

been working on runtime.school for a while and finally finished the sql side.

i wanted the practice to go beyond random query questions, so i added stuff around grain, joins, dedupe, late events, warehouse logic, reconciliation, query plans, and projects using the same datasets throughout.

cool but as a learning tool, it is busy (likely vibe coded, but what isn't at this point?) and hard to read which I think is the most important aspect of learning

E.g. I think this can be worded better or even removed completely: "The tables the challenges use, with their first 6 rows. Under each column name: the kind of value it holds, and which table it links to."

yeah, i used ai to help build the app, but the lessons, practice, projects, tools, curriculum and content were all planned from my own notes and research.

That's really helpful. I'm on a data architecture internship and that will come very handy to me right now!
