[Tutor] airflow dag

My mailbox if full of similar stories: companies dumping airflow on their
ETL (or similar) group. Those who knew Python succeeded, those who didn't
failed, and some even moved to other companies because they couldn't cope
with all this complexity dumped on them all at once.

Moral of the story, it is best to learn python first, become good at it,
then get into specific tools.

And, of course, this is not specific to a relatively straightforward module
/ application like airflow. I've seen the same with scikit-learn. Same also
in other languages. And to make matters worse, the curricula (and books)
always starts with a crash course in a specific language, then go on and on
about the application, perpetuating the myth that learning the programming
language well is totally unimportant.
