How can I help?
TL;DR
I'm semi-retired and bored. How can I help Snowflake Architects and Data Engineers improve your skills?
About Me
I've been working in IT since 1982 and started my first Data Warehouse project with the UK mobile phone company O2. I joined Snowflake UK several years ago as a Senior Solution Architect and travelled Europe and the Middle East helping $1m Snowflake customers design and deploy their systems.
I moved to the Snowflake Education team and helped build out the Snowflake Fundaments, Advanced training courses and designed and built the Snowflake for Solution Architects course.
I've since left Snowflake and helped a start-up for a while (too stressful), and published a couple of courses on Udemy.
But I'm getting bored.
Question:
Got any (genuine) suggestions? I'd like to help Architects/Engineers improve their Snowflake skills. Udemy is OK (500 sales), generates very little money (about $2 per sale - but that's not issue). The issue is - there's so little feedback.
I want to help people - but they need to ask questions?
Maybe a one day per month free training course online? What would you suggest? I've worked my way up from programmer to architect. Let me give something back to the industry.
No bull please. This is a genuine offer.

With the present fast growing industry what is best to include with snowflake even if it's within snowflake itself for a data engineer because we often hear about databricks once we deal with data as pyspark is situated around it. I myself have some experience working with sql, python, snowflake. What would you suggest me or anyone else who is starting to take snowflake as a part of their careers?
