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
