SQL Isn't That Hard (When You Learn by Exploration)Removed

Miranda Auhl, a developer advocate at Timescale, has a history of learning SQL through exploration and hands-on experience. She initially learned SQL after university, where she was exposed to other programming languages, making it more natural for her to pick up SQL. Miranda's love for data analysis and visualization drives her work and personal projects, including creating value from data in her current role at Timescale. She uses SQL for troubleshooting, creating content, and learning new things, often relying on exploration and research to overcome challenges. Miranda's favorite tool for working with SQL is DBeaver, a free and open-source integrated development environment that allows her to visualize databases and work efficiently. Despite finding some aspects of SQL frustrating, such as the documentation for PostgreSQL, Miranda finds joy in learning something new and being able to do something useful with it. She draws inspiration from the PostgreSQL community, particularly women like Lætitia Avrot who empower other women in tech.
