New post: What's the difference between DBAs, DBREs, and Data Engineers?

New post: Should we do index maintenance on an Azure SQL Managed Instance or Azure SQL Database?
* Yes, you should do index maintenance, but keep it to the minimum
* Ola Hallengren's scripts are free, widely adopted, and terrific. They work out of the box on Managed Instance and Amazon RDS, but you need to do extra work for SQL Database
* I share my preferred thresholds for the index maintenance-- minimum 40,000 pages (~313MB), minimum fragmentation level of 50%.

I am already better at building and managing a static website in Hugo than I ever was at Wordpress' templating and design stuff.
I am not at all a web developer and never have been -- it's just easier for me to learn this than GUI stuff.

I'm working on a new blog post on the differences between these three characters.
What's your take on the overlap and differences between the job roles of database admins (DBA), database reliability engineers (DBRE), and Data Engineers?
