What is the Stop Rewriting Databricks Workflows Every Week course about?

Every week, new schema changes, source system outages, or configuration drift break existing workflows. As the IC on the hook, you spend hours diagnosing failures, rewriting logic, and restarting jobs , time that should go to high-leverage engineering work. This cycle persists because pipelines are built for stability in perfect conditions, not resilience in real conditions.
