Open source contributions for a Data Engineer?
His newer project, Ballista, was also donated to Apache Arrow. I hope to get the Rust skills to collaborate with him on open source work someday too. He's also doing really cool work on spark-rapids FYI.

I am reading this article https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2015.00492/full and thinking how to create an Amazon EMR infrastructure wih PySpark. Why is the GPU server not one of the nodes in the Apache Spark cluster? Or this is just an abstract view and the nodes are also the GPUs?
The spark-rapids project allows one to run multi-GPU ETL workloads on a Spark cluster. https://github.com/NVIDIA/spark-rapids In such a setup, the GPU nodes are part of the Spark cluster. Multi-GPU nodes are viable, although an executor is currently limited to a single GPU.

Ballista: New approach for 2021
So, in my day job at NVIDIA, I work on the RAPIDS Accelerator for Apache Spark, which is an open-source plugin that provides GPU-acceleration for ETL workloads, leveraging the RAPIDS cuDF GPU DataFrame library.

Apache Superset
Superset is absolutely phenomenal. I really hope Microsoft eventually releases all of their customizations they made to it internally to the OS community someday.

A modern data stack for startups
I recently ran a little shootout between Superset, Metabase, and Lightdash. All have nontrivial weaknesses but I ended up picking Lightdash.
Superset the best of them at _data visualization_ but I honestly found it almost useless for self-serve _BI_ by business users. This issue on how to do joins in Superset (with stalebot making a mess XD) is everything difficult about Superset for BI in a nutshell. https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/8645
Metabase is pretty great and it's definitely the right choice for a startup looking to get low cost BI set up. It still has a very table centric view, but feels built for _BI_ rather than visualization alone.
Lightdash has significant warts (YAML, pivoting being done in the frontend, no symmetric aggregates) but the Looker inspiration is obvious and it makes it easy to present _groups of tables_ to business users ready to rock. I liked Looker before Google acquired it. My business users are comfortable with star and snowflake schemas (not that they know those words) and it was easy to drop Lightdash on top of our existing data warehouse.

Apache Superset: Installing locally is easy using the makefile
Are you interested in trying out Superset, but you're intimidated by the local setup process? Worry not! Superset needs some initial setup to install locally, but I've got a streamlined way to get started - using the makefile! This file contains a set of scripts to simplify the setup process.

More public SQL-queryable databases?
Recently I discovered BigQuery public datasets - just over 200 datasets available for directly querying via SQL. I think this is a great thing! I can connect these direct to an analytics platform (we use Apache Superset which uses Python SQLAlchemy under the hood) for example and just start dashboarding.

How useful is SQL for managers?
if they don't want to pay for powerbi, can try something like https://superset.apache.org/
