Why SQL Still Matters in the Age of AI
How I’d Learn SQL Fast in 2025.
AI Won’t Replace SQL. Here’s Why.
AI is rewriting the rules.
But for data engineers, SQL still runs the show.
Even the best AI tools can’t fix broken queries,
optimize performance,
or understand business context.
In this new video, I show you how to master SQL the right way:
→ Use real SQL tools like Postgres & Snowflake
→ Skip setup hell with hands-on browser-based projects
→ Learn the “Big 6” SQL commands by actually using them
→ Go beyond syntax into data modelling, window functions, and performance
This is the SQL I wish I learned first — not SELECT *
on fake Olympic data.

Or start the full track (and skip the fluff):

It’s the fastest way to learn what actually matters — and get job-ready faster.
No more tutorial hell.
