Date and DateTime Manipulation in Polars
One thing all Data Engineers are doomed to do in purgatory will be to solve different date
and datetime
problems in an endless loop. I’m sure of it. I can’t imagine anything worse, so that must be it. Either way the constant need to manipulate date
s and datetime
s are just a way of life, something that never ends and never changes. Also, it appears Polars is here to stay from what I can tell. Not a fad like that Data Mesh. Since Polars is here to stay, (I’ve already got it running in production at my company, (don’t mind if I bow)), we should probably take a gander at how to manipulate date
and datetime
objects from both the Dataframe and (if I have time) SQL perspective. See if we can find anything to complain about. I like to complain.
